Links I Love
It's Friday and technically the weekend. Well at least as far as I'm concerned because I'll be taking the weekend off to heal from some lame health stuff. Rather than leave this blog lacking updates I thought I would do something I've done on previous blogs that was pretty well received: Links I Love. Basically, Links I Love, is just that. Links of things you should read, know about, listen to, etc for the weekend ahead. Little slices of the web that peak my interest I want to share with you.
Music Monday: Fleet Foxes
I often go back and forth between writing and not writing some blog posts. Especially when it comes to music but not posting about it wouldn't make this blog true to who I am. I don't feel like my taste in music is why anyone reads this blog to begin with, but I'm certainly not writing posts strictly to get likes (although those are pretty cool). So after some time of indecisiveness (a couple weeks really) I decided to give it a go. Plus I just love the new Fleet Foxes record so much.
In the Kitchen: Shake Shack @ Home
Fourth of July is just a few days away. A time where everything to make a great American burger is on sale, so why not make the best at home burger possible? A few weeks back I received Shake Shack: Recipes & Stories as a gift (or bribe to make cheese sauce..either way). Pretty much everyone knows how much I love the Shack or just burgers in general so I was really excited to try to make one of my favorite burgers at home. Truth be told, I wasn't that great at making burgers at home...until now.
Time to Buy...A Bathing Suit
One of the best and worst things about summer are bathing suits. Chilling poolside is basically a requirement right now (it's about 120 degrees out right now as I type this, no lie) and doing it fully clothed would be weird. The material swimsuits are made from is often cooler than some items of clothing so they are even wearable outside of the pool.
It's Okay to Be Lazy, Right?
What happens when you just can't manage it? Enter the Lazy Days wardrobe. It's not exactly the I've completely given up on life special since they are acceptable to wear in public if need me. Sometimes you just need to go buy junk and Rosé at the store, right? These are my favorite things to wear when I'm just lazy and not looking forward to putting effort into choosing an outfit.
Twin Peaks
There's a nostalgia wave hitting television which I'm all for but slightly against. There are plenty of completely unnecessary reboots hitting airwaves at a steady pace. A couple of weeks back one of my favorite shows, Twin Peaks, made its television return on Showtime. Twin Peaks began airing on ABC in 1990 and has become a cult classic (it has even been considered one of televisions greatest dramas).
What I'm Listening To, Volume 3 - June 2017
I'm really excited by all the new music coming out lately. Every day it feels like I have something new to check out. Most of the time it feels like I've traveled back in time to 2010 or 2011 with all these new releases from Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, and Phoenix. I've heard the Fleet Foxes but need more time to fully absorb and process it this week when it officially comes out. Maybe I'll have to write about some new music to check out later on.
