It’s the last day of August (I can’t believe it) and it’s time for my August favorites post!
As I’m writing this, I’m sitting in a Starbucks drinking a decaf Americano, on my way to Seattle. It’s my first time in Washington and as we’re living in British Columbia, we’re taking advantage and exploring all the places we can out west! I’m looking forward to a weekend in Seattle exploring the city, trying new vegetarian restaurants and camping at Olympic National Park. Is there anything we need to do or see? Let me know!
As we’re getting ready to explore the city, I’ll leave you with my August favorites.
Currently Reading
This month, I was ambitious and read 2 books. This feels like an accomplishment, considering that I read slowly.
The first book I read was Then She was Gone by Lisa Jewells. It was the best book I read so far this year, which explains why I finished it in only a few days (something rare for me lately with my busy schedule). It’s a thriller and trust me, once you start reading, you can’t stop until you get to the last page. It’s well written and surprises you with twists every few chapters. Get this book and read it as soon as possible. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Once I finished the book, I went straight back to Harry Potter (obviously). I started the series again a few months ago and it reminded me once again why I love it so much.

This white kitchen is making me excited to buy a house (I’m not sure when that will be, but I’m looking forward to it!). All I want is a bright, white kitchen with lots of natural light, storage and counter space.
And this minimalist living room.

I love all of your posts! You always share fun recipes, of course, but I like hearing how you navigate the *burden* of keeping yourself fed in a happy and pleasant way, even with travel/moving/ new home/ THAT DAMN SMOKE. You're my go-to blog for healthy snack ideas and ways to use the seasonal vegetables streaming in. I found you on instagram and subscribed to your blog while I was living in Maine, but I've moved back to Montana so it's fun that you made the trek West as well! I hope you enjoy your new home, and your trip to Seattle, and exploring the beautiful Rockies!
*Favorite recipes so far: overnight oats (duh, so versatile), southwest quinoa salad- seriously so simple and so delish!!! About to try zucchini cookies because I have squash coming out of my ears!!!! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing!!!
Hi Jasmine! Thank you so much for your sweet comment, it means a lot. And thank you for the feedback, I love to share some personal posts on here too, so I'm happy you feel the same. Hope you're enjoying Montana. I've never been there, although I might have to visit while I'm out west! I've been to Maine MANY times and love it. The mountains are really nice though, I'm loving it. :)
