2018 Third Quarter Favorites!

I can’t believe another quarter has flown by! 2018 has certainly been flying and I have a few favorites that I would like to share with you. First and probably the most important thing on this list for me is GOT7’S latest comeback, Present: YOU. This is their third full album, which means we get a lot more songs in the album. This one is particularly special because it features solo songs from each of the members that they have both written and/or produced. This makes me so excited because last quarter back in July, I was lucky enough to see them in concert in Toronto. You can see all the videos and pictures I took on my Instagram! I absolutely love them and their music and can’t wait for their new album to release!

Another top favorite of mine this quarter are Kikki K planners. If you follow me on social media, then you’re probably well aware that I love all things planning. But I recently acquired a new personal planner from the Own Your Story range and I have to say that I am utterly in love with it. It’s a little smaller than my other personal size Kikki K zippered planners, but because of this, it’s much more compact and great for travel or on-the-go! I was a little worried about the black accents throughout, but I think it’s perfectly fitting for the upcoming colder months.

Speaking of cold weather, it’s always around this time of year that I start to get into Cozy Mysteries again. About three or four years ago, I fell in love with the genre and have recently begun reading more of them again. I’m particularly fond of Lee Hollis’ Hayley Powell Food and Cocktail Mystery series as well as Cleo Coyle’s Coffeehouse Mysteries. Also, Laura Childs’ Scrapbooking Mysteries are amazing as well. I would highly recommend trying out these books if you haven’t already.

Another obsession of mine is makeup and this quarter I’ve gone back to loving my Bobbi Brown bronzer. Now I’m not sure why but I kind of fell out of love of using contour and bronzer for a long while, but I’ve recently got back to it and this shade is perfect for pale skin people like me. It’s not too dark or orange and this is great if you don’t want to look like a pumpkin. I also have been loving my Mac cream blush palette. I believe this is a limited edition item, but some of the shades that I love, particularly Keeping It Loose, is part of the permanent line and it’s one of my faves! 

So those have been my favorites of the quarter! As you can see, I’m still loving a lot of what I have enjoyed in the past. I guess old habits die hard. Keep a lookout for my next release, MORE THAN THIS, which will come out on September 18! I can’t wait for you to read Hunter and Sam’s story!
