I sometimes forget I live in this little bubble of mine where I read healthy living blogs and listen to podcasts and other people don’t know about these blogs or podcasts. I love sharing what I am into with others, because I also find out about books, podcasts, latest products from others (influencers perhaps?). I am definitely highly influenced by others, but I am also at a point in my life where I know what usually works for me. I still like to explore when I want, but sometimes I just like to read other’s opinions on products and just take in different perspectives. We all come from different backgrounds and perspectives and I think that should be respected. Moving around has helped me see this a lot and appreciate, not only my own background, but hearing other perspectives. I don’t know if this totally ties into this post, but here is what I am currently up to this July. Maybe you will find something that interests you, maybe you will find this totally boring. Either way, I appreciate you reading along and following with my crazy life.
Current Book: Finished Michelle Obama’s book over the 4th of July weekend and now I want to read the book I bought for my honeymoon trip that I never got to, The Matchmaker by Elin Hilderbrand. Likely this will wait until August when I finish my classes though.
Current Podcast: Never Thought I’d Say This hosted by Jodie Sweetin (Full House!!) and Celia Behar. You guys…I am not a parent yet, but OMG this podcast is hilarious and makes me want to laugh out loud. If you are a mom, I think you will love it even more.
Current Purchase: Third Love bras. I’ve known about Third Love for a couple years I feel like and it was time for a couple new bras, specifically I wanted a strapless one (not sure what happened to my old strapless). I took their quiz and got a size and then ordered, but the cups were too small so I exchanged them. Exchanging the bras was an easy process, just be prepared for waiting a week for the first delivery and waiting another week for the exchange. So basically I feel like it has been since July started I was waiting for these bras, but I am happy with the exchange and excited to have a strapless bra to wear with certain shirts and dresses.
Current drink: On my La Croix passionfruit obsession right now. I like having one after dinner some nights.
Current TV show: Just finished watching Good Witch season 4 on Netflix and I see the season 5 is currently on TV and it was already renewed for season 6 so I’m excited. Besides that, the usual Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Gilmore Girls when I watch TV, but usually I only watch TV while I eat for about 15 minutes or so and then I get bored and move onto something else.
Current Food: I made a cauliflower fried rice the other night with veggies from our Misfits Market box. I need to write a post on that because the deliveries have been awesome.
Current countdown: 19 days until I am done with my summer classes and finals. I’m nervous for the finals, but I have been successfully staying about a week ahead on the homework since July started so that will help so I have time to study and review before the finals. Hopefully they go well. Then it’s onto reception party planning and some housework for a couple weeks before Fall classes start up. I can’t believe I started grad school a year ago in August. Having homework definitely makes the days fly by even though it can be stressful at times with working full time and managing everything, but I am still grateful for this MBA program.
On a fun note, I also did the Color Run last week with some friends.
The next couple weeks will be filled with lots of study time, but then I will get a little break and looking forward to another State Fair day.
Sharing is Caring:
Hi Alicia, It’s exciting to hear that you’re working on an MBA. It’s really too bad you live so far from Buffalo, because we would love to have you apply for an upcoming accounting position here at the plant. We will have a new owner soon, a publicly held firm, so new challenges with that. It would be great to have someone here who already knows our system and who is as hardworking and diligent as you.
I’m enjoying reading your reflections. I am so proud of you for balancing everything. I am glad you like your MBA program and feel that it is worth the effort. I’m looking forward to visiting you in less than a month. Love, Mom
