Hey everyone
It's your girl Jenn and today we are sending off the last month of summer
with a round of favorites and personally i'm pretty excited to start September
and i will tell you why at the end of this video
but for now let's dive into the favorites
If you know me at all you know that I have a very soft spot for shoes
and last month I introduced these gorgeous mules into my shoe collection
and I know some of you guys might be looking at these mules and think they're hideous
I think they rock
They are from Jeffrey Campbell
But I got them on a website called, Zoogi
and I've been looking for a pair of mules with a platform
Because all the Mules that I have right now they don't have one and they're
a little bit uncomfortable to walk in especially by the third or fourth hour
my feet are usually suffering but with these I have no problem with walking
They're very comfortable and our seamless with any outfit because of the nude color
It just looks like an extension of your foot which I love
Yeah. Expect to see these mules in a lot more future lookbooks
I'm a little bit of an organizational freak
because I love every item to have its own specific home including my jewelry
and last month I finally put up this really nice gold mirror jewelry display
and just showcases all my favorite chokers and my dainty accessories
Before I had this my chokers were just kind of sprawled everywhere
they were getting tangled up I was losing them and it just was not a good system
But now, all my chokers have it's individual hook
and I feel like it makes a really beautiful decorative piece in the room
and I was wondering if you guys would want me to film
some sort of favorite jewelry hall type of thing
Let me know if you'd like to see that write in the comments down below
I always like to keep my body hydrated and i've been loving to use
Dani's, Coconut Hibiscus Lotion
and this is actually my first time ever hearing about this brand, Dani
but I found it kind of randomly
I was shopping in this gift shop in Terrenea
and they had a bunch of tester bottles of this
Mindlessly I just pumped some on my hand thinking I could use some moisture
Once the scent hit I was like oh my god i need to have the solution my life
because it smelled so good. It smells like a really fancy Piña Colada
I have a thing for like tropical coconut smells, so this is right up my alley
This makes me feel so calm, I feel like aromatherapy is a huge thing
and I've noticed that after the shower when applying this my mind feels at ease
I'm just in my happy spot and my skin super soft afterwards
There's also no crap in here, there's no sulfates, there's no parabens, there's no sodium lauryl sulfates
I don't know what that is but it's not in here
So yeah, check it out if you're a fan of sweet smells and you want something good for your skin
I highly recommend this
So if you follow me on snapchat then you all know that
this is my laptop skin now
I had asked you guys on snapchat which laptop skin I should pick
and the options were this seafoam one, this grid one
and then this blush marble and this one won by a landslide
Secretly I was rooting for this one anyway so, I'm glad that we all saw eye-to-eye
Yeah, they're from Unique Find and they have a bunch of really trendy but curated designs
that you can just slap onto your laptop
Just to be clear they're only a sticker so you're gonna have to buy a separate clear case
So your laptop's nice and protected
I thought that I would just you know shout this out because it's back-to-school season
You want your laptop's to look good
It's very rare that I read a non-fiction book and I think it's because I just
really like getting lost in fantasy plot lines
But last month I read a book called Mindless Eating, by Brian Wansink
This is actually my friend Emily's book
I was just at our house and I saw this book on her shelf and I was like
Huh, I should probably read that because I'm really trying to amp my health game up
I work out regularly but what always sets me back are like my food decisions
and it makes me so angry and I thought that this book would help me
and it actually did. It shows us how we eat more than we think we do
but it backs it up with case studies, experiments and facts
I feel like this book has helped me be more mindful about the way I eat
For example, now whenever I have a meal
I don't turn on YouTube, I don't watch TV
I just focus on chewing the meal thoroughly
and enjoying it and I noticed that I've been getting full a lot faster
A lot of these tips in this book
are pretty common sense, like common diet tips
but when it's attached to a case study
It's more in your mind, you remember more
I definately reccomend this book if you're interested in the psychology of food and eating
So my last favorite is a tool that's been keeping me a lot more productive
Meet, the time timer
This is from Amazon and it looks like a clock but it's actually
a really large timer. I have been playing mental games with myself
because I've noticed that the most difficult part about finishing a project
Is just simply starting it
So what I'll do is I'll grab this clear tab
and I'll put it to either fifteen or thirty minutes
and the rule is that no matter what
I have to work at the task at hand until all this red is gone
because when the red is on, I am not allowed to
switch to different tabs
I'm not allowed to just pace back and forth, I'm not allowed to go to the fridge
or anything
I have to do, whatever I said I would do
It does take a little bit of discipline but just having this time timer
just keeps me alot more time efficient and it's been helping me keep a lot more organized
You could also use this for other things like chores for example
Let's say you have like a really messy room or something
you know, just pull the tab to ten minutes and just clean for ten minutes
That 10 minutes goes a long way
This would also be an amazing study tool as well I think
So yeah, check it out if you want to be more productive
Alright guys, so that concludes my August Favorites
As usual feel free to write your favorites in the comments down below
I would love to read about them
and now I can finally tell you that I will be Vlogging everyday in September
until my birthday
It is going to be called
Jenntember
It doesn't really have a ring to it but
it works it's fine
I just thought I would vlog
because, I miss vlogging actually. I mean Snapchats fun
The fact that it disappears makes me very upset, especially if I put so much work into it
So I thought that, I would just vlog everyday in September
and upload it on YouTube
I won't be uploading every day
I will be filming every day
So each episode will have maybe like a compilation of three or four days in it
if that makes sense
So yeah, stay tuned for that
