Life Lately (Reading & Watching all the Things)

I haven’t been feeling that great lately. I think it’s a combination of the heat and allergies and maybe even sinus pressure. Back when I was in college I used to get really bad sinus headaches in August right before school started up again. Maybe I need to stock up on my annual supply of Sudafed.

But with that being said, I’m still having a good time. In August my boyfriend and I are celebrating our 4th anniversary and at the end of the month my best friend is getting married. So it will be an exciting month! I’ve been going on lots of walks with my dog Hazel and I’ve also been reading a lot and planning for the future.

What I’ve Been Reading

What I’ve Been Watching

  • The Idol – I don’t know why I watched this. I think curiosity just got the best of me. I had to fast forward through a lot of it (like basically all of the sex scenes lol). The ending was like WTF. And honestly, The Weeknd is kind of ruined for me now. I don’t think I’m going to be able to separate him from his character Tedros.
  • The Bear (Season 2) – Phenomenal. This show stresses me out but makes me feel hopeful at the same time. There was a lot of great writing this season. I highly recommend if you haven’t watched seasons 1 or 2 yet. I’m really rooting for all the characters and can’t wait to find out what happens next, if it gets renewed for season 3.
  • Nora From Queens – This is so silly. Overall I liked the show although there were a few episodes I had to skip because they were too weird or too slow. I really like Awkwafina and this show is so great because of the relationship she has with her Grandma. It was very sweet. Also, Bowen Yang is in it and I’m a big fan of him.
  • Somebody Somewhere – I love this so far. Sam moved back to her hometown to help take care of her sick sister, but her sister passed away and now she’s trying to figure out where she belongs. She befriends a classmate that she knew in high school and he helps her get involved in life again.
  • Barbie – My boyfriend and I went to see this in theaters last weekend and it was so good. I can’t wait for it to be streaming so that I can watching it many more times. A fun movie with a really great script and awesome casting.
  • Oppenheimer (I’m writing this post before I go to see it, but our tickets are booked.) I’m excited because of the great cast but I’m also worried about seeing such a long movie in theaters. Usually if it’s much longer than 2 hours I prefer to watch it at home. But my boyfriend bought the tickets so I’ll go. I’m sure it will be fine. 🙂

What I’ve Been Watching on Youtube

Some channels I’ve been watching lately are Zachary Michael and Obese to Beast. I go through phases with Youtube and right now I’m just not interested in watching Booktube or Lifestyle content. But I’m sure I’ll be back soon. Haha.

Upcoming Projects

I’m thinking about making my return to Youtube soon. I deleted my channel a while back because I wasn’t feeling really connected to my content that I was putting out. But I have some new ideas about how I can make content that is related to my blog. I’ll share the link soon if I decide to move forward with that.
