A while back I did a blog post where I shared like 10 random things I was loving, listening to, buying etc….and you guys seemed to really like it! And I loved sharing! I love the idea of making this a semi-regular series because there are always new things I’m testing out or eating or buying that I want to share with y’all! Today I’m going to share with you guys 7 random things I am loving right now.
#1. Matcha
IDK how or when it happened but I have become absolutely obsessed with matcha haha. I love the taste of it but also all of the health benefits associated with matcha! It’s high in antioxidants, boosts brain function, and lots more. I shared my iced matcha latte I’ve been making at home in this blog post, and also on my instagram highlight! Right now I’m loving iced matcha lattes but I bet once it gets cooler outside, I’ll love them hot just as much! I like making one at home around 11am for a mid morning pick me up!
#2. Anti Diet by Christy Harrison
I actually bought this book after seeing Mary from Happily Grey share it on her stories and it has been SO eye opening for me. I’m only about 60 pages in right now, so I will report back after I’m done with the book. But it’s been so eye opening to how we truly are living in such a ‘diet culture’. It’s everywhere we look, affecting decisions we’re making, foods we are eating, how we think about our bodies etc. I’m excited to keep diving into this one because I think it will give me a totally different perspective about body image and the culture that we live in today, in regards to food, health, and exercise.
3. Miranda Frye jewelry
This won’t come as a surprise to you guys haha considering I share Miranda Frye on my stories almost every day. This is the jewelry I wear EVERY single day – sleep in, workout in, shower in, etc. I got a few new pieces in the mail in yesterday afternoon and it instantly brightened my day! This jewelry is truly beautiful and elevates any and every outfit. (Even workout clothes haha). You can get a discount with my code LKS!
4. Abercrombie high rise skinny jeans
I am VERY particular about my jeans…and this under $100 pair has quickly become one of my top 3 favorite pair of jeans! They are SO flattering, I love the distressing on them, and they fit so well! For size reference, I’m wearing the 26!
5. Wild Heart album by Kim Walker-Smith
Kim Walker-Smith is one of my FAVORITE worship leaders and has a freaking incredible voice. She released a new album recently (it’s on Spotify) and I’ve been loving listening to this on my morning walks! So much powerful truth and really helps me get my mind right for the day. Also, her voice is so dang good haha.
6. Orange Theory
A lot of y’all probably know I was an orangetheory JUNKY in Boulder. I went probably 3 or 4 days a week, every week and LOVED it. I stopped going when we moved back to Dallas because COVID happened almost immediately after we moved back. I JUST recently went back (last week) and it has been SO FUN. I didn’t realize how much I missed working out with other people or in a class setting. Our OTF is taking ALL precautions so I feel super safe – temperature checks at the door, masks, classes are only partially full etc! It’s been so nice to do a workout outside of my house! Something I will truly never take for granted again!
7. Brumate can
We’ve been spending lots of time at the pool lately (and recently discovered how much we LOVE truly lemonade haha) and my other coozies weren’t getting the job done! I bought a brumate about a month ago and I’m OBSESSED. It legit keeps your drink cold FOREVER even in 100 degree weather! I don’t know how I ever lived without it now!
So there ya go! Haha such a random post but 7 random things I am loving right now! What do y’all think? Should this become a regular series?!
Thanks for reading!
