September Non-Beauty Favorites

Hello, friends! September literally flew by! So much happened, and I was so busy throughout the entire month. I found it difficult to remember what I loved, but I'm going to do my best!

Music

• Shake It Off by Taylor Swift: I've been obsessed with the song. It's so fun, and always puts me in a good mood! I'll be a Swifty forever!
• Somewhere Only We Know by Keane: This is such an amazing song. It's perfect for fall time, and I never get tired of it.
• Cry For Me from the Jersey Boys  Soundtrack: I love Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. They're so amazing, even if they were a 60s band! I saw Jersey Boys (the movie and show inspired by the group), and I became obsessed with this song. I don't know why, but it makes me so happy.
• You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban: Who doesn't love this song? It gets me pumped for the day and really lifts my spirit. Josh Groban is amazing.
• Do You Love Me by The Contours: This is a typical 60s song, but it's so fun to dance to! Do you remember in Dirty Dancing when they were having that grinding party? They were dancing to this song.

TV/Movies

• New Girl: The New Girl obsession has yet to cease. No show has made me laugh as hard as I have in this show. It's about a really quirky girl who shares a loft with three other guys and they basically become besties. I love how quirky and funny this show is, and also a lot of it is improvised! Hilarious!
• The Hundred Foot Journey: I saw this movie this month and I loved it. It's centered around this Indian family who start a restaurant in France. They have really amazing food, but are challenged by the gourmet restaurant across the street. This show is heartwarming and funny, as well as hunger-inducing. I love it.

September was a crazy month full of ups and downs. It wasn't great, but I did discover a lot of cool music. I hope you have an amazing month and expect a new blog post to head your way soon!

Things That Make Me Happy: Part 4

Hello, friends! Every now and then, when I'm feeling down, I like to make a list of all the positive things in my life. This way, I can appreciate the joys that life brings, rather than focusing on negativity. Here are 10 things that make me happy :)

1. Blasting my music in the car!: There is nothing better than driving down the road and turning up that bass! It's very soothing and makes driving so much more fun!
2. Teaching: I love to teach. I'm a Sunday school teacher at church, and it brings me so much joy to be up in front of kids teaching them about Christianity.
3. Donuts: Donuts are so wonderful, and I love them a lot. Ah! I just love them.
4. Coffee Shops: I love coffee shops! The atmosphere is so soothing, and it's so nice to sit, listen to music, and share a cup of joe with a good friend.
5. Painting my nails: I love changing out my nail colors, and painting my nails is really relaxing and fun to do. It's like a mini art project!
6. Talking to people: I think it's so fun to talk to people and get to know them. I'm so happy when I get a chance to meet a new person, or get to have a nice conversation with a friend.
7. My friends: I loooove my friends! They make me so happy and always lift my spirit.
8. Writing: I'm a writer at heart. I love writing, and it makes me happy to be able to express my thoughts and ideas through the word.
9. Dancing: Dancing is one of my favorite things to do. It gives me such a rush to dance and feel graceful and beautiful! I love it!
10. PJ pants: They're just so gosh darn comfy! They make me happy! I especially love my Elmo pjs. 

I hope you enjoyed this post! See you next time!
