Friday Favorites: Things I'm Loving This Week
Remember when I wanted to start a series on this blog?? Ha, I fooled you—because I didn’t. Sad. Truthfully, I wasn’t feeling inspired these past two weeks to post one of these, but I thought I’d post one this week! I’ve been trying some new things recently and listening to NEW podcasts and music, and I’m very excited to share.
Podcasts:
Gals on the Go: I’ve talked about this one before, but I just thought I’d share. Brooke Miccio and Danielle Carolan, the hosts, release two episodes a week—one of them being a pop culture-related episode (think Bachelor recaps). Definitely, definitely give them a listen.
Bad on Paper Podcast: I have talked about this one too before, but their latest episode with guest Taylor Lorenz was amazing! Becca and Grace interview New York Times tech reporter Taylor Lorenz and they discuss Tik Tok, influencer culture, privacy concerns, and other related things. She also talks about her career, the jobs that led her to where she is today, and how she developed her own beat. Highly, highly recommend.
Music:
My worship playlist on Spotify: I’ll link it here, but these are all the worship songs that I’ve been loving lately. Artists include VERSES Music, Riley Clemmons, and Crowder. Definitely worth a listen!
Clothes:
My black Columbia coat: it’s still a little chilly outside, so I pull out a giant parka. Jk, it’s really not that big. It keeps me warm and cozy, but it’s not too overwhelming that I end up sweaty when I take it off. Love this jacket!!
Books:
Reputation by Sara Shepard: If you were a big PLL fan like me (and The Lying Game rip), then you will be OBSESSED with this book. It is literally a page-turner. It’s set in a small college town (and the neighboring town linked to it) and it’s revolved around a hack … and a murder. Each chapter gives reason that each character could be a suspect—I honestly don’t even know who killed the philandering doctor at this point, and I’m very excited to finish it.
A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin: If you’ve been following along for a while, you’ll know that I’m reading the GOT series. Yes, reading. I’m halfway through the second novel, which I’m pretty proud of.
YouTube/Bloggers/Influencers:
Brooke Miccio on YouTube: Probably one of my top YouTubers that I watch. I think every time she posts, I watch right away or at least add to my “watch later” list. She posts about post-grad lifestyle, working out, being single, anti-hustle culture, and so much more … including live-tweeting The Bachelor.
Grace Atwood on The Stripe: absolutely love her book roundups and been learning a lot about skincare!
Articles:
This Cosmo article about Chris Harrison trolling fans who think that Bachelor Peter Weber is dating a producer. Anyone have any theories about this?? I need to discuss.
Random:
Journaling. I was editing this post late at night and I just had to add this one. I’ve loved journaling recently, even if it’s just making lists (who else is a big list-maker??) I use the Moleskin bullet journal from Target.
