June Favorites 2016

June 29, 2016

Last month, I wrote about my May favorites. For my first ever “favorites” post, I went with a  formula I’ve seen over and over on various blogs. I was just trying to feel it out. I have a lot of products each month that I wind up loving or using more than others but that’s not the only thing the month of consists of.

I have favorite songs, tv shows, movies, moments, people, ect. This month, I thought I would go on the path less traveled. I wanted an all-encompassing overview of what my month looked like and all that it entailed.

Here goes nothin’…

FASHION AND BEAUTY

This top is breezy, lightweight, interesting, flattering, and the perfect coral color. Clearly coral and I are having a moment. To see more of this top, I wrote about it in my Bringing Summer to the Office post!

This picture encompasses 2 favorites this month. For one, this gorgeous bag. It’s the perfect sand color to keep the palette for a summer outfit light. The fringe and studs give the bag a more fun side but the long strap and surprisingly roomy inside makes it practical. This bag was also featured in my Bringing Summer to the Office Post – another Stitch Fix find!

The second favorite in the picture is my nail color. Again, perfect color for summer. The one I’m wearing is Essie’s California Coral. The color, the name, it just spoke to me.

PEOPLE

The shooting in Orlando was yet another tragic event involving guns on American soil. While this isn’t the appropriate platform to express my thoughts on gun control, I will say that my 2 favorite people this month are Senator Murphy and Senator Booker. When gun control wasn’t even on the agenda for Congress to talk about the week after the shooting, these guys felt they had to do something.

Senator Murphy stood up and filibustered until a decision could be made. Senator Booker stood with him the entire time of the filibuster out of solidarity. They stood up for what they believed in and they said enough is enough. I watched the entire filibuster, that’s right, the whole thing. It was so fascinating to see our government at work and better yet, to see someone say, “we have to protect our people”.

For the first time in a very long time, I had hope for America’s future in this aspect. I’m not comfortable disclosing how I feel about it personally but it was amazing to see someone take a stand and to see someone be determined to make a change. Truly inspiring.

ENTERTAINMENT

MOVIE-

Me Before You was in my May Favorites because I absolutely loved the book. This month, I saw the movie and was equally enamored with the story on the big screen as I was reading it printed on the page. It wasn’t the typical romantic film. The cinematography was unique and charming. I loved them as real people not fictional characters that give me #relationshipgoals – it was beautiful and lovely. Obviously, highly recommended.

SONGS-

There are 2 songs this month that I can’t stop playing on repeat and I know I’m not alone.

First up: Can’t Stop the Feeling! – Justin Timberlake

Seriously, what better song for the summer? I mean, for real. There’s an official video out but my favorite is the one with the cast. It just makes you happy!

Second on deck: Let It Go – James Bay

A little bit more of a mellow vibe but the perfect soundtrack to star gaze to or to just take a moment and listen. Such calming music with the perfect words. Love, love, love.

DISCOVER

Manhattan Beach – how incredibly beautiful! To celebrate my birthday, my friends and I decided to have a beach day. It was so nice to be outside in the sunshine. We played in the water, soaked in the sun, and played volleyball. Just to enjoy each others company while the sea’s breeze danced in my hair, it was quite the perfect day.

June turned out to be a great month. The beginning of summer with sandy beaches and music you can dance to. I’m excited to see what July holds!

There’s magic in snow❄️ Ever since I was li There’s magic in snow❄️

Ever since I was little, I’ve loved when our neighborhood looks like it’s been stuck in the freezer.

Snow makes everything softer and sparkly.
It mutes man made sound for miles around and makes room for the thrum of nature.

It brings fires to the hearths, hot chocolate to the mugs, snowmen to the front yard, and for this Colorado girl, gratitude to my heart.
BIGGEST LESSON IM TAKING FROM 2020: ✨find joy i BIGGEST LESSON IM TAKING FROM 2020:

✨find joy in the small every day moments✨

Life is hard. And beautiful. And tragic. And inspiring. It’s everything all the time and all at once.

Stay grounded. Stay rooted in Christ and who HE is. We are living in a broken world but our feet stay firmly and humbly planted in the truth that is our whole and complete God.

Your identity is in Christ and the more you believe that and stay rooted in its freedom, the beautiful moments will become amplified and they will become a part of you.
Merry Christmas from our family to yours🖤 peace Merry Christmas from our family to yours🖤 peace on Earth and good will towards everyone ❄️
Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is brigh Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from heaven afar;
Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, oh, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

Merry&Bright✨ Got to show some friends my paren Merry&Bright✨

Got to show some friends my parents house all decked out in Christmas tonight over facetime and if that’s not merry and bright, I don’t know what is.

Lets file this one under: moments in 2020 to take with me

I hope you’re finding your own small merry and bright moments. I’d love to hear about them in the comments because ya know...sharing is caring and what’s more Christmasy then that?

📸: @jmgrant2016 as per usual
The Christmas season doesn’t look the same as la The Christmas season doesn’t look the same as last year or quite frankly any year before that.

In a very real way, I am so grateful for my health and my loved ones heath more than ever before. And more then ever, I feel supremely blessed for the relationships in my life near or far.

This may be a difficult holiday for you this year. Maybe you’re grieving. The loss of a loved one or a job or traditions. You might be spending this holiday alone or missing family members because they live far away and can’t travel.

Whatever it is, know you’re not alone. I see you and honor what your season may look like. We will get through this one way or another and on the other side, may we feel a little more blessed than we did before.

Love you all. Especially @jmgrant2016 who I wish I could stand in front of the Christmas tree at Disneyland with this year too🖤
