June Favorites

June flew by! I know every month I say that life is going by so quickly and what a great month it was, but I really mean it, yet again. It was a productive month for me....lots of soul searching, forming new friendships, and trying to figure out where life is taking me. I can safely say that in this moment I am the happiest and healthiest I can ever remember being.

Another month come and gone means another month of favorites. Here's what I was loving on in June:

The shock of the month is that I didn't have a favorite beauty product! I stuck to my usual routine this month and nothing really stood out. I've been trying to simplify my look and use less product since it's summer and I don't like showing up to work with half my face melted off. I haven't bought any new products or sample anything special.

My favorite TV show this month is Big Brother! I live for this show every summer. I applied to get on this season, but unfortunately some instances didn't lead me to get on the show. I will reapply next summer and hope I can win half a million dollar. I've been watching ever since I was 8 years old and already have my strategy formed to have the other house guests eating out of the palm of my hand.

My favorite book this month is "Practical Paleo: A Custom Approach to Health and a Whole Foods Lifestyle" by Diane Sanfilippo. It explains the power of a paleo diet, including recipes, meal plans, and suggestions on which paleo plan is best for you. I've been doing my best to implement the paleo lifestyle into my health plan.

My favorite song this month is Forever Love by Danna Richards featuring Avia Butler. I'm a huge Shaytards fan and have had the honor to spend time with this family. Avia is a special little girl with big dreams and a huge heart for the Lord. Her first single reached the top 40 on iTunes in it's first 24 hours. The music video features her parents, two of my role models, and brought tears to my eyes and chills down my spine.


My favorite movie this month is About Last Night. It's a hilarious, but realistic, journey of two different couples, and the progression of their relationships. It stars Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Joy Bryant, and Regina Hall. I had been interested in seeing it in theaters, but never did, so I rented it when my work got it on DVD. I was cracking up the whole two hours, and saw a lot of my own relationships through the eyes of these two couples.



My favorite time this month has been all the family time! From the baseball games, bingo with grandma, spending time with my cousins I hadn't seen in 11 years, and barbecues at my brothers house, the times have been amazing. Family is my everything. They're the only people who are 100% there for me in my life (besides my Savior Jesus Christ) and I'd give anything for them.

My favorite current event in June has been the World Cup. I'm not a soccer fan, but I'm rooting for Team USA. I'm surprised in how far they've come and have the faith that they can make this their Cup.
