August Favorites ~ 2020

 

Good Morning,

I hope everyone is well. I tell you what… this homeschooling thing is hard! I believe that I told you guys that I am micro-managing my daughter and her assignments. It has not been fun but each night or every other night we have a “review day”. It’s where we go over the next few days’ assignments. We are getting through it and are getting into a schedule. 

Alright, enough about “adulting” and let’s get into my favorites this month. August flew right by and I had to ask myself what did I enjoy this month. There were a lot of things but I wanted to share these. 

The first is my daily lunch. I did not know how good scrambled eggs and avocado were together. My goodness! I have been eating this sandwich daily for lunch. 

It is so yummy! The next is this beautiful Youtube channel of Shirinatra! Shirin is a beautiful young vintage enthusiast from Germany. She has great taste and wonderful videos. This video has been one of my favorites. 


I hope you enjoy her style and channel!


Third has been my new chinoiserie inspired canvas! If you have followed my blog for a long time then you know how much I have been on the hunt for one of these! They are so expensive but my good friend called me and told me about this particular canvas and that it was available at the At Home Store. 
If you have had the desire to own one of these then click on the link above. It is absolutely beautiful in person!


Seven on Sunday - The Enchanted Home
My heart is still set on owning one like this and I believe that one day I will!
Fourth has been, of course, my Gal meets Glam dresses! I shared in Monday’s post that I was able to get a third dress. Well as of this morning I now have a fourth one on the way! I made an offer on the pink version of the dress pictured above and they accepted my offer! I can’t believe it! I love these dresses and hope that the two new ones that are on the way will fit well. 


Okay, now on to my fifth favorite. I shared in my recent Youtube video about my weight loss journey (down 5lbs. so far 20 more to go) and the new body analyzer scale that I found online. 

This scale tells you your weight, body fat %, bone density, muscle mass, and water weight. I seriously thought that I was going to be mostly water. Umm no. I quickly learned that I don’t get enough water! Something else to add to my list. 

And lastly is my (new to me) vintage mirror. I picked this up a new antique store that I found earlier this month. I only paid $30 for it and it is huge! I love the way it looks in my office. 

I hope you all enjoyed my favorites for this month and found a few new ones for yourself!

Have a great day!

    Hi Mrs. Shockley,

    I couldn't agree more that homeschooling is a challenge, especially for us moms whom hold a full-time career. But we can do it, and will look back on it someday as a victory. Ohhh I love when you do the favorites blog posts. Thanks for sharing your wonderful finds-much inspiration for sure. Hope you have a relaxing weekend.

    I love you in the girl meets glam dress it looks so well made and a high quality.
    I find it so hard to find beautiful quality dresses in an elegant cut.
    I hope you and your family are well,

      Hi Prue!
      Thank you for the compliment. Yes! Dresses in an elegant cut or quality are so hard to find. I am a little sad that Julia will be no longer making these. I hope there is some future project similar to this in the future. I hope you and you family are well too!
