Hey, Everyone. I have some great “loving lately” items for July. Let me tell you, July has been by far the busiest month of summer. There has been something going on each weekend as well as during the week. So when I’m talking about what I’m loving lately for July, these are things that have been so useful for me this hectic month.
I’m so into tote bags right now. I’ve been wearing/using them for work, fun, and daily activities. Since I’m on the go so much, it’s so easy to throw a bunch of things into a tote. I’m sure you are wondering, what I have in my tote. Well, I’m about to tell you. Since I’m out and about most of the day, I throw a sweater or light jacket into the tote since there is a significant weather change from day to night. I will on occasion even throw in a pair of flats, if I know that I will be running errands after work. I have a small cosmetic bag and toiletry bag. From time to time, I will carry a bottle of water and a snack in my bag to prevent hanger. Basically, my tote is a small survival kit.
So, I love reading books. However, these days I find that I rarely have the time to read. A few months ago, I signed up for Audible (#notsponser). Audible is an app that allows you to listen to books on audio rather than reading them. I was very hesitant about this at first, call me old fashion but I love reading physical books. The first couple of books that I listened to took a little time for me to get into each of them. It’s a little odd hearing one person read for several characters or someone read the book to you.
Lately, though, I have been listening to Audible, and I’m loving it. Not only am I “reading” the books on my list, but I can do it on the go. I can listen while I’m running, driving, or cleaning my house. The Audible app is very convenient. So while I will always read books physically, I’m loving Audible.
Duh, right! I mean who doesn’t like sunscreen. Well, for me in the past I have not always appreciated or used sunscreen on a regular basis. However, now that I’m getting older, I see the benefits. Protection from the sun, not only to decrease the risk of skin cancer but to prevent sun damage. Since I have been on the go so much, I regularly carry around sunscreen for my face, lips, and hands. Yes, I put sunscreen on my hands. Your hands see so much sun and are most likely are the last to be protected. This year, I have worn sunscreen more than any in the past. Trust me, the more you protect your skin when you are younger, the better skin you will have when you are older. Take it from this gal.
So not to hop on the sports sandal bandwagon, but I’m going to (at least for July). I’m loving these Adidas sports sandals. They were popular when I was younger, so I was a little hesitant when I saw them back in fashion. I wasn’t 100% sold, but I found a relatively inexpensive pair and bought them, totally thinking that I would not get into them. I was so wrong; these Adidas sandals are so comfortable, even more than expected. Not only are they comfortable, but they are so convenient to slip on to run errands. So how could I not like stylish and comfy?
There you have it, all of my favorites that I’m loving lately this month. For the busy ladies, like myself, I recommend all of the above to check out. Seriously, I’m not sure how I would have made it through the month without them.
