Starting a new series today called “Life Lately”. Just writing about a few lifestyle topics, hope you enjoy. I’ll probably write about this once a month – that’s the intention! Affiliate links are used – meaning using them for purchases won’t cost you extra but may earn me a small commission.
Bought
Eau de Sens is my favorite perfume – I adore the orange blossom scent! They’ve just come out with a Eau de Sens hair mist and hand wash/body cleansing gel and of course I bought them both!
I bought this umbrella in Azure Blue for the backyard!
Want
I’ve been looking at outdoor furniture. I really want some bistro chairs – love this one with the “X”s,
this one with the chevron pattern,
or this plain navy one.
However, I know they are not the most comfortable chairs. They aren’t uncomfortable, but the rocking padded chairs are more comfortable. More likely is that we will get a metal dining set like below… you know, one that can be easily hosed off.
Wearing
Linen joggers – I’ve been wearing these a lot as they are perfect for cooler mornings and hot afternoons!
As we were just in Hawaii, I’ve recently been wearing my favorite linen shorts! They are so comfy and are the perfect casual short!
Love this sheer tunic top – it is so romantic! It also comes in blue.
Lilly Pulitzer white sleeveless top – love the cute gold buttons!
Reading
The Selection Series – read all 3 books on vacation. They had thousands of reviews on Amazon. They areeasy reads IMO, not too thought provoking.ll good for a light read. If you liked the hunger games or divergent, or are fans of the bachelor, you’ll probably like this series.
Game of Thrones book 3 – I absolutely love game of thrones, both the tv show and the books. The books are better, but aren’t the books always better? They are so well written, I love reading them. They are dense and there are many characters and plot lines to follow. I actually love reading them so much that I had to slow myself down when I realized I was going to finish the series rather quickly. I have been trying to “save them”… if you liked reading the lord of the rings or the chronicles of narnia, then you would like these books.
Watching
A.P. Bio- a lighthearted comedy about a professor from Harvard who has to move to Toledo for family issues and is teaching AP Bio in high school…. except that’s the point, he does zero teaching of biology.
War and Peace – I wrote about period tv dramas… and I hadn’t yet finished this one.
Infinity War – I don’t like superhero movies generally speaking (except black panther, Wonder Woman, the dark knight and iron man 1) but this movie was good because it had a ton of superheroes… including some that I didn’t know since I’m not in the know.
Shape of Water – a little weird as a lady falls in love with a fish man. Not really “my type” of movie but I had to see what all the talk was about and totally get why the critics liked it, but I didn’t really like it.
Goodbye Christopher Robin – If you liked Winnie the Pooh, you will probably like this movie. It is about the author A. A. Milne and his family and how he came to write about the book.
Eating
The açaí bowl 🍲 from this book by Nadia Damaso called “Eat Healthy, Not Less”. I recently bought this cookbook and love it! I’m totally obsessed with her smoothie bowls. I made her peanut noodle recipe too – but made it even healthier with zoodles. What’s also amazing about Nadia Damaso is that she released this book when she was 19 years old!!
This should be a fun series. I like the new umbrella you chose- and I’m sure in the azure blue color it will be quite striking! Those bistro chairs are all very attractive however I do favor the X design. Having easy to maintain outdoor furniture is the best way. I had a whole set with full size chair pads that became quite a burden to keep dry and clean. We love swivel rocking chairs too and find that everyone wants to use them. Those chair pads will make the chairs the most comfortable.

Yes my parents have rocking chairs and we all fight for them too! The chair pads do make it better – they are not as cute as the bistro chairs though! I think I’ll pick up a pair of bistro chairs for elsewhere and try to get padded rockers for a dining table!
I’m looking forward to more from this series. Love the blue dotted chair and the tunic top! xox
