Top 5: August 2020

Tuesday, August 4, 2020






The world we live in right now is slightly crazy. This pandemic seemingly has no end (it does hopefully, we just don't know when...) While everything is going on, I'm trying to keep a normalcy as much as I can. I still go to work, I have coffee dates (whether be in person or on Zoom), I go to my therapist. Some things are staying the same a bit. 
That's why I'm doing a Top 5 this month because even though things are nuts, I still am discovering new things! So let's dive right in!!

____

1) Zero Sugar Beef Jerky. As a diabetic, beef jerky is okay for me. Which now means I'm obsessed with it. The zero sugar kind is off-putting because they only put a couple of grams of sugar in the regular kind. BUT zero sugar beef jerky is my favorite because it has a chewier texture and I enjoy it. That's just me, though. 


2) Atkins Protein Shakes. While we're on the topic of food, I JUST discovered this "hunger satisfying" milk chocolate protein shake. My dietitian wants me to drink more of these at breakfast but it's EXPENSIVE. But when I do have them, it's like drinking pure chocolate milk. I can't have cows milk (my stomach forbids it) but this never upsets my stomach and tastes amazing. Now, it never really satisfies my hunger like it suggests, but it's still a great source of nutrients!


3) Bottom Feeder by GOOF. So, I know the girl who sings this song (hi, Natalie!) and I have been in love with her singing voice for years. She first came out with the song Rewind Halloween under the name GOOF and I know all the words to that song. Now she's released another song and the chorus is so catchy that I can't get it out of my head! It's on Spotify now, just search GOOF!

4) Midnight Sun. Okay okay I haven't actually read it yet...or even gotten it in the mail...but the Twilight lover in me is PUMPED. I'm 27 years old and still obsessed with Twilight. I don't even CARE. I'm going to Forks, Washington next year for a vacation and holy cow, I'm already shaking. They didn't even film the movies there, but just knowing it's the "twilight town" makes me emotional. I'll do a Midnight Sun review on my book blog when I get it and finish it!

5) Working at a thrift store. I somehow got something ELSE added to my resume: volunteering at the community thrift store. Don't ask how it happened because it was all so fast. But to be honest, I actually love it. It's a messy job (please don't bring in your stained clothes OR used underwear) and it gets overwhelming, even as a volunteer. But I can totally see myself in this position, which is cool!

That's my Top 5 for the beginning of this month! I hope you guys enjoyed this! I know my mom and my friend Megan love these, so this is dedicated to you both!
