This past month has been one of flowing creativity. Now more than ever I want to throw myself into the back of a cross country crossover and never look back. I've seen a lot of this month in my thoughts and in my head and it's almost been too insightful, where I can't write down my thoughts fast enough. With that being said, here's a few of them.
The monthly Spotify playlist. This month I've been very in tune with myself. Not that I was lonely, but I was more aware of my feelings at any given moment than ever. This list of songs, rather than being a jumble of random new tunes, more cohesively reflects a story, one that you can listen to.
Deleting social media. Not to be confused with deleting my accounts, but I deleted a couple medias off of my phone for awhile. I am proud to say Instagram and Twitter are still off of my phone, even though I regret to occasionally check them on my laptop. If I have seemed overly active on Facebook or Snapchat recently, this is why. The reason for this semi-drastic relapse is my outward dependency to always be active or caught up on them and on people. The same aggravation grows when people believe that communication stems from social media. If we don't message or talk on the phone, then we are not talking, nor do we have a substance filled relationship. I think it's about time my generation realized that.
Jo Malone Tobacco & Mandarin Fragrance. If you are in the market for a new spring fragrance, or even if you are not, you should smell this perfume as soon as legally possible. Unlike most perfumes, even Jo Malone fragrances, this limited edition line was crafted a little differently. Instead of the more woody, spicy notes being on the bottom, those scents are on the top, and the more fruity and floral flavors are on the bottom. When constructing a series of notes, the order of them can manifest a completely different fragrance, something like this one.
Art museums. I believe most people don't realize how many artistic sites are around them or even within a short drive. Within the past week even, I've been to 2 museums and they have really given me perspective. Even if you simply walk around for 10 minutes are galavant around the premises for hours, you are sure to take away something from it.
Dior Addict Lip Glow (Pink). This stuff has been the key to soft, pillowy lips this past month or two. I will either dab some in the middle of my lips, to give a glowy, plump illusion; or lather it on at night to wake up with awake, moisturized lips.
Lucky charms. Whilst going to visit my friend in Georgia a month or two ago, I didn't exactly have the array of breakfast choices that I usually do. She politely offered any cereal they had out, and I tiredly obliged. Only just remembering that Lucky Charms were my cereal of choice, after being addicted to it for a couple weeks now, I would like to thank her and General Mills for their graces.
Ashwagandha root. Being a stressed college gal, as per usual, I decided to do some research on some healthy and safe alternatives to cope with stress. When I found this vitamin/supplement, it was very easy to just add it to my usual regimen. This super-vitamin can also reduce feelings of anxiety and improve mood/brain health. Hopefully, I'm smarter in 30 days.
Tune in next month for the new new.
