June felt like it came and went. I swear yesterday was the just the first week of June! How has July Fourth already come and gone, and its practically mid July!? I promise I will be better about getting my monthly favorites up more quickly, ahah.
This months list is a long one 😊.
Gardening-
My aunt and uncle have a garden every summer. This year, however, we started the garden from SEEDS in late March. It was so fun to watch them sprout, I feel like they are my children, and the day we planted them outside felt like sending them to kindergarten, haha. It has been a surprisingly stress relieving activity, and it feels good to know exactly where your food is coming from. Look out for a full on gardening post and garden tour soon!
OMG these cookies!! I found this brand of cookies when I was looking for ways to support the Black community, so yes this is a Black-owned business that is also women run! We. Love. This. The cookies are free of the top 8 allergens including gluten. You know I am all about an amazing gluten free treat that I do not have to bake, so I ordered 3 boxes. They are so yummy, and will be a pantry staple!!
I needed another pair of sandals. I already knew that I love my classic Jacks, so I perused their other sandals and settled on these. I love them, and they are so comfy, and essentially had zero break in time, unlike classic Jacks! Get these sandals!!
Sudio Earbuds (gifted)
Sudio sent me these earbuds to review and do Instagram posts and stories. I have been wanting a wireless headphone option that weren't my huge Beats, so I was so excited to try these. I love how they fit in your ears, and DO NOT FALL OUT!!! I have tried friends AirPods, and it always felt that they were going to fall out of my ears, and I had to turn the volume up super high, which is not good for your ears. The Sudio buds are so much better, no falling and noise reduction built right in!

Everyone needs to read this book. It is about a small southern town, and the implications of race on one particular family. I cannot say enough good things about this book. It is written by a Black author, and I have been actively making sure to read books by BIPOC authors. Heres some books I have read lately.
Iced Coffee Season
This is something random that made me feel joy, but yay for iced coffee! Whats your fave way to do an at home iced coffee? I like a little almond milk, and may add a dash of natural maple syrup if I want something sweet.
Exercise skorts are seriously the best thing about working out during the warmer months. I am a skirt and dress gal through and through, so being able to wear a skirt while exercising just makes me feel extra good about myself. I love how you can dress a skort up or down too! My favorite is the Lululemon skort (linked above) because it has a silicone trim on the inside of the shorts so they do not ride up!
A summer staple that is a part of my summer uniform. I actually own a couple of them because I reach for these striped shirts so often during the summer. A good part of a summer capsule wardrobe.
Another random item, but these are THE best socks I have ever worn for running/exercising. The socks are supportive and cushioned in all the right places. I love the fun colors they come in, too. The best part about these is that the annoying toe seam is so flat/nonexistent, so it doesn't rub and bother your toes! You need to try these, especially if you are a runner (or want to be a runner!).
*I know it was release on July 3, but HAMILTON OMG!!*
