July: Watching, Reading, Listening & Trends!
Watching, Reading, Listening & Trends: Summer Edition! What are you listening to? What is trending? The most popular questions I am asked daily by clients and conversations I am having! Well then let’s just jump right in…
Did you miss my blogs and me? I am back, I am here and not healed! Ha!! But for real, I am going through my biggest growth this year, it has not been easy, it’s been one of my most scary times learning a whole new lifestyle that I am not used to for the past Decade. Then I started to think, okay so we were not unhappy back then, what were you doing? Is there something to do as a 38 year old that you can enjoy? Well, I enjoy writing my blogs, sharing my monthly emails, reading, watching TV and talking to clients. Which is what I have been doing, so I want to uplevel that and I launched a Podcast. Then I worried, wait if I have a podcast should I even write a blog? Well, yea…why not! I can do a summary here or even be vulnerable. Sky's the limit! So let’s get down to the fact that I am up to 25 books so far this year. I know for some that may not be a lot but for me it’s a lot since I do work two jobs, own a salon, moved into a new apartment (and hate said apartment)! Also, it’s summer so I am trying to make sure that I do things and try on new hobbies to see what I like and don’t like.
The things I am watching…in no particular order. Perfect Match, okay the best trash TV ever! I love Harry Josey and am sad about him and Jessica! I watched and didn’t report the ending of part of Bridgerton, I guess with allll the hype around it, I expected a bit more sex scenes and the “breaking of the couch/bed”. Nothing much happened, the story was of course beautiful, but that was it. I am still a Season 1 LOVER! I watched the Celine Dion documentary and sobbed for the duration! I am re-watching Stranger Things in my spare time. I tried to watch the new Joey King, Zach Efron & Nicole Kidman movie, but I didn't finish that yet. I did start Lady Grey and LOVE that! I am catching up on the Kardashian’s (okay I know, not for everyone, but I love Khloe!). I need to catch up on The Rookie, 9-1-1, and Will Trent before summer is over! Of course I am watching RHONJ and my my that episode of Danielle going off on Jennifer A. Highly enjoyed!! Then Catching up on Real Housewives of Dubai, and I started Ladies of London, not by choice, but it randomly went on after Dubai ended. Not bad, when I can see cute spots in London before my London trip! I am watching an insane amount of reels & videos and writing down places I must go in London when I am there for the Taylor Swift Concert! I am listening to Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. Mostly podcasts, the usual suspects: Call her Daddy, Let’s be Honest, New Heights, Let’s Go Girls, Stassi, sometimes the Toast, and tons of Music! I love Gracie Abrams, Chappell Roan and of course Taylor. I am gearing up to get some more concert tickets this summer at my local Venue.
Reading…well let’s be honest I am going to give a run down of books I am reading and the reviews on my podcast and on a Tik Tok & Reel. I want to keep that fun there. The books…
Just for the summer (3rd book in a series read it before the others, ooops!)
Fourth Wing (1st of many!)
Funny Story
People We Meet on Vacation
Icebreaker Flawless (1st in the Series)
Things We Never Got Over (1st of the Series - 3 books)
These are the books I finished towards the end of May into June! I am going to find a fun way to share my books, what I am loving, reviews and things I will be reading!
Things that I am seeing that are trending with hair, slick back ponytails, air drying, lived-in low maintenance hair colors, spacing out appointments. Getting Keratin’s to reduce frizz and using heat on the hair. Everything from the 90’s and Y2K time frame is hardcore trending. Which I am not upset about. I used to envy the pretty girls when I was younger and how they dressed and looked. Now, I get to dress cute, and I am that girl! How cool is that!!! Have a wonderful summer!
