Life | August Favorites

The end of another month is upon us, and with that a round up of some of my favorite THINGS from August 2014. It's quite an eclectic grouping of items this month, but that's life.

1. Keurig Brewing System

I couldn't tell you what exact model we own for our Keurig. We bought it many years ago after our cheap coffee pot caught our kitchen on fire. But the reason this is making my August Favorites is because it has been in storage for almost 6 months and now it's back in my possession! I forgot how much I enjoy it, the simplicity of brewing my one cup of coffee. Since I am in the only one in my home who drinks coffee regularly, I feel like the Keurig and I have a special relationship. I am happy to have it back in my kitchen.

2. Bath & Body Works Lavender Blossom Foaming Hand Soap

I can't actually find this product on the BBW webpage anymore. My grandma got this for me I believe either in my Christmas stocking or Easter basket (don't judge me). I adore this scent. It makes my whole bathroom smell delightful after using it. I am bummed that I can't find it at BBW currently, but they have lots of awesome fall scents, so I am sure I will be able to find a replacement.

3. iPhone 5c Otterbox Symmetry Case

We upgraded our phones a few months back, and I previously had an iPhone 4 with an Otterbox Defender case on it. It was super protected, but it was so bulky. One of the things I love the about the iPhone is that is slim, but with this massive case on it...notsomuch. I still wanted protection, but not as much bulk. Enter the symmetry case. I adore this case. It matches my phone perfectly and it protects it without adding bulk. 

4. Victoria's Secret Bombshell Perfume

I have had this perfume for awhile, but just recently began using it more frequently. It's a nice light scent, kind of flowery and citrusy. I have been loving it for the month of August.

So there you have it, a nice little round up of a few of my favorite items during the month of August! Have a great Wednesday!

High Five for Friday | Link up

Well, the first week of August is behind us and I go back to work officially on August 25th. This  summer has flown by, but I feel like I say that every summer. Here are the five highlights of my week!

1. C's parents came over on Sunday to bring us some stuff we had left over at their house and to take some stuff back with them. We drove them to the church we are getting married in and took them by the reception hall. It was great to be able to show them our venues before the big day.

2. I just had some lazy days around the new place. We are officially unpacked, and all that is left is to hang our pictures on the walls. We are working our way around steam cleaning the floors, and it is oddly satisfying.

3. I finally read The Fault In Our Stars. I have zero interest in seeing the movie, but I wanted to read the book still. I am glad I did. I didn't cry (I must have no soul) but it is definitely a tearjerker. 

4. C and I don't have cable, but I discovered one of my secret shames on hulu plus...Keeping up with the Kardashians! *hangs head in shame*

5. I got my Keurig back! It may seem stupid and simple, but I missed it. I love my coffee and it's not the same using someone else's. It's the little things people!!

See you back here on Monday with the weekly photo a day wrap up!
