I’ve been thinking about posting some monthly favorites of things that I’m currently digging and have finally gotten around to it… This month my local library hosted it’s library used book sale and I found some cool things as usual, so I’ll start with that:
Kinfolk Entrepreneur – A beautiful, inspiring book of creative entrepreneurs telling their stories and giving tips and inspiration. It was put out by Kinfolk, a culture and style magazine based in Portland.
Chihuly Projects – A wonderful find. Dale Chihuly is an incredibly creative glassworks artist and this book has big beautiful photographs of his works.
Images – Ingmar Bergman’s memoir of his life in film and the influence his private life had on the process of writing, directing and bringing forth his works of art on film.
Music: My favorite Spotify playlist while I’m writing is currently, Dinner in a Mid Century Modern – curated by Andrew T. Lane, who actually has a lot of amazing playlists.
Urban Decay’s Naked Skin Highlighting Fluid is really nice – I normally don’t use a highlighter but got this sample from Sephora and really like it. It gives a little brightness under eyes and in the cupid’s bow.
Essenza Oil for diffusers in Vanilla Bean is such a nice soothing scent to keep going in your home. It’s my current favorite, although I sometimes add some orange to it. I feel much better using a diffuser with essential oils in my home instead of commercial room sprays that have harsh chemicals. If you’re sensitive like I am to perfumes, this is a great alternative, which brings me to the next one…
Valentina’s Sweet Dreams Body Mist – This is a great blend of essential oils (Jasmine, Sandalwood, & Vanilla). It can be used as a body mist or room spray and it smells lovely. Home brewed in Portland, Oregon – you can pick it up at Whole Foods.
Well, that’s it for July…
