{in case you can't tell, i'm still in love with this photo set}
1 // Still currently obsessing over the pictures my friend Gabby took of me this past week. Sometimes I just sit in my room and look at them because I can't believe they're actually me. To see more of these stellar pics, check out my first post of them here!
2 // LSoM got a little bit of a face lift this weekend, and I am so pleased with the results (peep the new header to see what I mean!) While the change isn't huge, I feel like this space is turning into more and more of my own. I love the clean-ness of the all white, but the new text up above makes me feel inspired every time I see it.
3 // Today's my handsome man's birthday, and I think I'm a little bit more excited for it than he is. Although, I'm mostly just excited to see him... so maybe that's it? ((That's actually most definitely it))
4 // Can't. stop. buying. bralettes. Honestly don't know what took me so long to make a purchase on these sooner...
5 // Momma J and I spent the weekend at Eastern Market, and I maaaay or may not have gone a little overboard on my succulent purchases. I bought four. Currently scouring the town for the perfect pot to plant them in, but I'm working on it. Pics to come, because honestly I've never seen more photogenic plants in my life. (That's a lie- we live in a world of hydrangeas.)
6 // PSA about the new starbucks coconut mocha macchiato: it's heavenly and 10/10 recommend you try one ASAP because who knows how long they'll be around for!
That's about all, friends! Have a great Monday!

Hi friends!
Today I'm sharing some of the pictures that my incredibly talented friend Gabby snapped of me yesterday. Picking just a few to share today was such a challenge because all of them turned out so amazing! A hundred thank you's to Gabby for taking such beautiful pictures of me- I love them!

Hi friends!
I blame 105.1 for this post. Maybe blame is a heavy handed phrase, but you get the point. In case you weren't already aware, Detroit has a new throwback station on the radio. And it is everything. Forget 95.5 playing a throwback hit here and there- this station is all old RnB / hip hop hits all the time.
Since I just can't get enough of the old jams, I've been inspired (for lack of a better word) to create a Spotify playlist so that I'm never without some feel good hits. And what better a place to share it than here. I hope you enjoy not only the playlist, but the #tbt pic I dredged from the depths of my mom's photo vault for all of you. Happy listening!

The holiday weekend totally threw me off kilter, so I apologize for a week of no content, but this Monday Musings is going to changing that!
1 // 100% convinced that your average suburban family should not be allowed to light explosives after literally running for shelter as my neighbors lost control of their fireworks last night. Sure they're pretty and all, but you know what else is pretty? Not causing bodily harm.
2 // Activity trackers really make you aware of how lazy you are. I thought I was at least a moderately active person (as I haughtily cranked the level up on my watch in the apple store) but let me tell you- I'm basically a sloth. I don't think I've hit my activity goal once since getting my watch. This partially makes me want to work harder, and also partially makes me feel like a potato.
3 // Currently, I'm desperately in need of some new reading material. It feels like I've read through everything my library has to offer me, and authors just cannot crank cheesy summer teen romances out at the rate that I read them. Maybe one day I'll prefer "adult" books, but for now, I just crave sappy summer love stories. Any recommendations for A+ books are definitely welcome, my friends!
4 // One of my goals for this month is to run a mile for each day of July. So far, I'm at 11.67 out of the 31 miles, and I'm personally impressed that I've done so well with this goal thus far. I tried to do something similar in June, but made too many excuses to skip runs, but I'm feeling more determined this month than ever.
5 // Tacking onto the previous topic, I'm curious to know if anyone has Brooks running shoes and what their thoughts of them are. My mom is starting to think I need something that can handle impact a little bit better when I'm running trails, and has suggested Brooks to me. I've looked into them, but before spending the money I need some advice! (Also battling the whole comfort v style thing, but I know your feet are your foundation...).
6 // I am dying to try arial yoga. Someone I know recently went, and it literally looks like the coolest thing ever. It looks like a challenge, but swinging around in some silks for an hour seems like it would be so much fun! Plus, what a unique way to sweat, am I right?
Hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead!

I like goals. More than that, I like sharing my goals on the internet to keep myself accountable. So here I am, on LSoM, posting about my life once again. Let's get to it, my friends. Here's July's goals:
+ Run a mile for every day of the month
+ Do more yoga- it's good for my mind, body, and soul
+ Take myself on my own adventures
+ Complain less
+ Reach out more
+ Keep up with my journal & document the days
+ Enjoy the summer while I still have it
+ Hit up Eastern Market
+ Buy the dang shoes
+ Drink more water
What do you want to accomplish this month?

My time in the mountains is sadly over, but I don't think I could ever forget a trip like this. Hiking through the Smokies is something I've been so looking forward to, and getting to experience Grotto Falls was a dream (p.s.- it's the only waterfall in the Smoky Mountains you can actually walk behind)! I honestly don't know when I'll stop posting pictures from this hike... Whoops!
