July Favorites ~ 2020
It’s the end of another month in 2020. I know many of us can’t wait for this year to be over. We have lost so much this year already. I somewhat dread 2021. I don’t know what to expect. I am trying to be positive.
Well, let’s jump into my favorites for July…
The first item has been my rose lip cream from Fresh. I take it everywhere, it smells so lovely and is quite a large size. I have no regrets buying this from Instagram. I love it!
My next favorite has been my electric tea kettle that my step-son got for me for Christmas. He found it at Costco but I find one similar from Amazon if you are interested. Our office will not let us use office appliances due to Covid so we have had to get creative. This kettle provides me with the hot water I need to continue to have my hot tea while I am in the office. It has been a blessing.
Third has been my recent Poshmark Finds. I love Poshmark and continue to purchase from it. It gives me great opportunities to search for items that I want and to negotiate prices. See my video below to take a peek.
The fourth was my blue and white table setting project. I had so much fun doing this. I loved it and still look back at my photos.
Fifth were my beautiful pink lilies that I found at the grocery store! Aren’t they stunning? I added some leaves from my peony bush outside to give it more greenery. I loved having these in my home office.
And lastly, has been the beautiful Instagram account of Nicolas Fairford.

I don’t know if any of you follow him but he has such an elegant and inspiring account. He has superb taste and a wonderful Youtube channel if you are interested.
That’s it for my favorites for this month. Most of the items that I love I have already shared them this month. We will see what August holds. Honestly, I am hoping for cooler weather. It has been so hot lately and wearing a mask does not help. Father, please be with us.

Hi Mrs. Shockley,
Oh I love when your favorites blog comes out. I have watched Mr. Fairford's vlogs, including the tour of his friend Tracey's home. I really hope he continues to create YT videos. His voice is soothing and his taste is impressive. I have been enjoying Christmas in July. That's been my favorite. Yep, I am one of those people. I have a classical Christmas music Playlist I can't get enough of. It's the London Symphony Orchestra. And I have been looking at 2 of my Victoria Magazines, Christmas edition. This has given me something positive to look forward to this year.
Best,
Mya
Hello Mya,
I enjoy Nicolas' videos as well. His voice is soothing. I like you have been enjoying Christmas in July! I have been watching lots of Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. I am looking forward to the holidays this year. I hope the world will be in a much better state. And I think we all love the Victoria magazines. Anytime I have an appointment I always take one with me. They are an escape. I hope you are well Mya. Thanks for always chatting with me!
