1. Duolingo - Max showed me this app because he was using it to learn French and work on his Spanish. It teaches you a new language little by little with daily lessons that include writing, reading and speaking. It's cute and fun and makes my brain work a little bit harder every day.
2. Photoshop - One of my favorite blogs to follow is The College Prepster. Carly posted about how to use Photoshop to make collages for her blog so instead of working on some other important stuff I took some time out of my day to learn how to make collages. They're actually fairly easy and I'm a huge fan because I'm a very visual person. I'm currently working on one to help me decide what colorful throw pillows to get to go with the white bedding I just got for my new bedroom.
3. Frozen Yogurt - I have to say this is one of the fads I was quickly over, opting for true ice cream, but I've recently been in the mood for something light and refreshing and fro-yo is it. Today I got a mango vanilla twist with Oreo pieces and gummy worms. Strange but tasty.
4. New Lilly Agendas - I've always been a very organized person but dates and times slip so easily from my mind that having an agenda is essential for me. The Lilly Pulitzer large agenda is my favorite so far because it's a great size and I love how colorful and cheery it is. I can't wait for August so I can break in the new one!
5. Short hair - For the first time since I was about 8 years old, I got a real hair cut - I'm talking a solid 8-10 inches. So far I'm loving how easy it is and not having to pull it out from under bags, jackets and scarves all the time. Tip: if you decide to get yours cut, bring pictures for your stylist, it will really help give them an idea of what you're looking for.
6. Crisp, clean everything - As I mentioned before my family is moving to a much smaller apartment from our nice sized house. That means lots of cleaning and getting rid of clothing among other things to prepare to downsize. Also since we're showing the house frequently my shelves and desk have to be spotless. The cleanliness is definitely growing on me, which is why I picked a bright white comforter set. I'm hoping the crisp linens will motivate me to keep the rest of my life as neat.
7. Movies - I can't remember the last time there were so many films I wanted to see in theaters in one month. So far I've only seen Pitch Perfect 2 and Inside Out - both of which were great (as if anyone ever expected anything less). I'm hoping to catch Max, Magic Mike XXL (guilty pleasure), and Minions before I head back to school in August.
