Lifestyle Favorites ♥ August 2016

September 6, 2016

Time for part two of my August favorites. If you haven’t seen my beauty favorites you can read that post here. This time it’s all about the random lifestyle items that I used and/or favored the most in the month of August.
Hot Pink 10 oz Coffee Press
I bought this 10 oz coffee press a couple months ago from Barnes And Noble. It’s the perfect size for a single serving size of coffee. Before I would use just instant coffee but now I find myself using this blend more. It does take longer to heat the water and let the coffee soak in the press. However, it makes me appreciate my coffee time even more.
Starbucks Kopelani Blend
This is the coffee blend I’ve been using along with my mini coffee press. We had a few other Starbucks blends in our family pantry but after tasting all of them I decided to go out and buy my own bag. At the time this was the newest blend so I decided to buy it and have not regretted my decision! The Kopelani blend has notes of soft caramel and a roasted-sweet finish. I usually drink it over ice with a bit of almond milk and caramel creamer mixed in but it tastes fantastic on its own too!
My New Glasses
At first, I didn’t like my glasses but after wearing them on and off for a couple weeks I grew accustomed to them, Now I love them! Every time I wear them I feel like a cute secretary or librarian. The style I choose really suits my face too. I choose a pair of glasses with a clear bottom, this opens my face up more.
Style Savvy Fashion Forward
After waiting months for this game to come out, I finally got to play Style Savvy Fashion Forward! It definitely lived up to my exceptions. You basically run your own clothing shop and dress people up in different styles. I love how they added more beauty themed jobs to this game. Whenever I didn’t feel like dressing up customers I could go be a makeup artist, style hair or even decorate a room! I will be reviewing this game later this month.
What are your lifestyle favorites from August?

✨🪸🧜🏻‍♀️ It’s the final day of t ✨🪸🧜🏻‍♀️ It’s the final day of the mermaid readathon! Thank you so much for hosting this readathon @thebrightsidegirl! I had so much fun reading these mermaid/island/ocean/underwater books! I also enjoyed making these mermaid themed flat lays for the photo challenges and can’t wait until next year! Swipe to see all the books I read and the mermaid treasures I collected! 🧜🏻‍♀️🪸✨

📖 Day 14: Fave mermaid read
Technically, my favorite read wasn’t a mermaid book but an island book 😆 Beauty Queens by Libba Bray was my favorite read during this readathon! It’s about a group of pageant girls who get stranded on a mysterious island. I listened to the audiobook and was blown away! The author narrates the entire book and does different voices for each of the characters in the book, and there are a lot of characters! Highly recommend the audiobook! I’m not a fan of the cover though, it looks like a smutty book 😂🙈 Have you read Beauty Queens? 👸🏻

Stay tuned for a mermaid readathon recap blog post which I’ll be posting on my website later this week! If you participated in this readathon, what was your favorite read?🧜🏻‍♀️

🦀 Day 12: Ocean creature
How cute is this cookie! I was gifted this crab sugar cookie on my birthday because I’m a Cancer 😆 but I thought it would be perfect for today’s photo challenge!

I just started the second book in the Emily Windsnap series, Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep. I’m assuming based on the title, there will be some sort of ocean creature involved, we will see! 🧜🏻‍♀️

🧜🏻‍♀️ Day 11: Mermaid in the title
Last year, I wanted to read The Mermaid from Jeju by Sumi Hahn but didn’t get the chance to. So, this year one of my goals during this mermaid readathon is to finish this book! Have any of you read this novel?

🧜🏼‍♂️ Day 9: Merman
I didn’t think I was going to have a picture for this one but when I opened the book “Mermaids, Sirens and Selkies: Myths and Legends“ by Jean Menzies I was surprised to see that the first story was about a merman! 😂
