Currently - August

U S I N G ... Perricone MD Photo Plasma - a moisturizer with broad spectrum SPF 30. It's oil/parabens/sulfates/phthalates free and has anti-aging benefits. I find with my SPF-laden moisturizers, I need to change them up every once in a while. My skin has changed a lot as I've entered my late 30s. This is one of the more expensive ones I've used, but I like it. This is not what I use when I'm spending a day at the beach. This is my daily moisturizer even when I know I'll be inside most of the day.

W A T C H I N G ... Difficult People on Hulu. These people are awful. I love them.

R E A D I N G ... a lot of magazines. I had two non-starter books in a row - In the Unlikely Event and The Humanity Project. I'm not sure if my brain needs a break from reading or if I didn't like those books, so I'm just coasting the past week and a half. I never try to force myself back into reading when I hit a dry spell. It'll come back. It always does.

C O O K I N G ... I'm grilling things like I was never a grill scaredy cat. MFD was trying to police me cleaning up the grill, etc., and I was like sorry, step off, the grill is now my domain.

W O R K I N G   O N ... the crap spaces where clutter collects in my house. Like the basket on the entry table, the teal rolling cart, the copper pot on the dining room table, my travel size toiletries. Everything must be touched this week.

F E E L I N G ... sleepy. So are the dogs. I've been trying to go to bed a little earlier than I normally do this week and actually be asleep by 11.

N E E D I N G ... to harness a packing list for our wild west trip which is less than 30 days away. I have to see if we need to buy anything or if what we have will do. I'm trying to not go crazy since we'll be outside most of the time and need no nice clothes so prepare in advance to see photos of us in the same clothes throughout. LOL

E N J O Y I N G ...  taking full advantage of our close proximity to the shore this summer. It isn't uncommon for MFD to work until 12 or 1 on Sunday afternoon then head down there to fish for a few hours and be home by 8. We've jumped in the car quite a few times together and separately and driven to our home base southern shores and up to Asbury Park and Belmar a time or two, too. Finding whole weekends to spare is hard. Finding a half a day is not. Hashtag YOLO.

L A U G H I N G   A T ... this. Some days, this is my dogs.

Fill me in...what's going on with you this month?
