July 2019 Favorites

Well, this summer is truly flying by and I’m not too happy about it. Why do summers always fly by? Especially as a teacher? There was so much I wanted to do this summer – a lot more writing than I’ve done (which is close to nothing), but I have a little bit of time left to maybe at least start my project and not be a total waste. Anyway, let’s get to my July favorites.

There have been a few things this month that I didn’t just really like, but I seriously loved and became maybe, slightly obsessed with.

First up, Pepperidge Farm Sausalito Cookies. It’s been a long time since I’ve had these and when I picked up a pack from the supermarket I was obsessed and polished off the pack (with help) in days. In my defense, there are only like 8 cookies in a pack and they go stale fast!

Next are my favorite sunglasses at the moment and foreseeable future. If you follow me on Instagram then you’ve probably seen me sporting these this summer. They are from Amazon, come in different colors and patterns, so lightweight, and so stylish. I love them! They are Gucci dupes and just $13! Of course, I had to get them in multiple colors and I think I want to get 1 more pair. At least 1…

One of my favorite shows that was tragically cut short, Timeless, is available on DVD. I know not a ton of people buy DVDs anymore, but my love for this show is real you guys. I had to buy both seasons 1 and 2 and the 2 hour series finale movie. This time traveling show is so good and I wish it was able to continue on, but the series finale was pretty good and tied everything up nicely so I’m okay with it.

This month I saw Aladdin and The Lion King. I liked both, but I actually loved Aladdin a lot more. I found it to be a lot more entertaining as a live-action than The Lion King. I thought the movie was well-done, well cast, and just good! I listened to the soundtrack for days after!

Another entertainment favorite – I’ve been catching up on last season’s episodes of Supernatural on Netflix. I used to watch the show religiously and then fell behind last year and just missed the entire season deciding to wait for it to be on Netflix and then watch it all. I can’t believe next season is its last and I also can’t believe that it’s been on the air for 15 years! I need to rewatch the early seasons.

My favorite song right now is Lizzo’s “Truth Hurts”. I just think it’s so catchy and fun! I love the lyrics!

My last favorite is Monopoly Deal. My friends and I have been playing so much this past month and are seriously obsessed with it! The card game is so much more fun than the board game and we’ve been playing for hours at a time. It’s that addictive! We’ll find ourselves playing after 1am some nights! It’s so fun that I wanted to buy a pack for my vacation to play with my cousins. They didn’t have it in stock at Walmart or Target and Amazon couldn’t have it to me until after I left. And I also decided I needed it 2 days before my trip. I bought it with next-day delivery from Walmart and it was 100% worth the $5.99!
