1. Smoothies & Shakes
A recent obsession has been enjoying a delicious smoothie instead of cooking. Many trips to Tropical Smoothie have been made this summer! I got a good deal from Good Morning America on a Nutribullet (does that make me sound like a senior citizen or what?!) and now have been enjoying smoothies at home. We needed a new blender anyway. My favorite recipe is a chocolate protein powder, peanut butter powder, almond milk, and frozen banana for a Reece's inspired protein shake. 😋
2. New Camera!
Blake totally caught me off guard and surprised me with a new camera. I've loved my Canon Rebel for over a decade, but I've said many times how cumbersome it is to bring when traveling. I never regret taking photos with it, but my phone just ends up being so much easier. I've wanted a compact mirrorless camera for a while, but it was just a huge wish list item - something I didn't really see getting any time soon. With so many trips coming up, I can't wait to use it. I've been playing around a little bit with it, and have been so impressed. Next thing I'm hunting for is a cute little crossbody camera bag.
I took the next two photos with the new camera just for fun:
3. Red Era
I find myself gravitating towards red! Also gravitating towards sleeveless sweaters. I have a few now, and I think they will be so nice for our fall and winter which are quite warm.
4. Cactus Incident
I had a strange thing happen this past week at work. We were inspecting a property out at the coast, and it was so beautiful there. Alas, as we were measuring the outside of the home, I ended up with a cactus in my calf. (!!) It did not hurt going in, but pulling it out was awful. Only one needle was really embedded in my skin, and unfortunately it must have pierced a vein because the bruise I still have over a week later is impressive.
5. Vinyl Record Additions
I love listening to our record player! Our collection of records is small but mighty. I like to have our very favorite artists - mainly nostalgic ones. I also love love to have favorite movie soundtracks. I just added the Princess Diaries soundtrack to our vinyl collection.
