life update vol. 4

Hello – it’s been a while! I’m coming off of a very long work week with my internship with the football team. I love every second of working there and signing day last Wednesday was super fun to be involved with. I’m ready for spring practice to start to get some more action in my photos and videos.

I love sharing product/media recommendations with my friends and these kinds of posts are my favorite to read, so I want to share more of them around here. Let me know if you like it!

What I wore for signing day (yikes I need to clean my mirror)

sweater blazer // pants // top (only $10!) // shoes

Behind the scenes of the signing day show

Loving Lately 

Watching:

Good Girls
The series follows three suburban mothers, two of whom are sisters, who are having a hard time trying to make ends meet. They are tired of having everything taken away from them so they decide to pull off an unlikely heist by robbing a supermarket, only to discover that they’re in for more than they bargained. Their successful robbery attracts the attention of the store manager after he recognizes one of the women, but for a different reason altogether than just the money. (summary from Wikipedia)

My mom recommended this to me last year and I was watching too many shows at the time, so I didn’t ever watch when it was on air. I started it around 1pm on Sunday and by 5pm I was halfway through the season! This is a pretty lighthearted show and it’s funnier than I expected. The second season comes back on March 3rd and I’m excited to continue to watch.

Grown-ish
This is a spin-off of Black-ish, following the oldest child, Zoey, as she goes to college and experiences life on her own. This show is definitely relatable at points and I love how honest and open they are about the different parts of college. I find myself relating a lot of their situations back to my own experiences through college.

Good Trouble
Another spin-off here! I loved watching The Fosters and would happily binge-watch it over and over again. This series follows Callie and Mariana post-grad living in LA. Callie works as a clerk for a judge and Mariana works at a tech start-up. I loved watching the two of them and following their stories through The Fosters, so I love keeping up with their characters. They also bring back other members of the family to guest star in different episodes, which is a fun element.

Listening: 

I never thought I would be a podcast kind of girl but I’ve recently become so into Brooke Miccio and Danielle Carolan’s podcast, Gals on the Go. I listen to it while I’m running and I think it’s a great intro to podcasts because I already watch their videos so I’m used to their voices, and it’s fun to hear them talk about recent topics and also just chat about their lives. I also like Katy Bellotte’s podcast, Thick and Thin. It’s fun to hear people in the same stage of life as you are and just hear about how they’re handling their lives.

I’m obsessed with Maggie Rogers lately and her new album, Heard It In A Past LifeMaggie’s voice is so unique and different from anything I hear on the radio lately. If you like Florence and the Machine, you’ll definitely appreciate Maggie’s sound. Overnight and Back in My Body are two of my favorite songs off the album.

Eating:

Hershey’s Lava Cake Kisses
These Hershey Kisses are my favorite kind of all time. They’re dark chocolate with a melted center. Last year they were branded as Truffle Kisses and only around until Valentine’s Day, so if you’re wanting to try, get them quick! I may or may not have stocked up on a few bags or more.

Oreo Cheesecake Dip
The name alone should be enticing enough. I’ve made this recipe for two game nights with friends so far and it was a huge hit. They pair really well with Nilla wafers and I imagine it’d be really good with strawberries as well. Just make sure you’re whipping together everything really well so that the cream cheese is evenly mixed throughout. I put way more Oreos in than normal as well.

Wanting:

More Outdoor Voices pieces! I’m writing a review soon on the pieces I already have, so be on the lookout for that. I’m very curious about the OV Hoka Cliftons, because my main workout is running. I can’t justify that purchase right now though while I have perfectly good running shoes, so this might be my next pair after I wear my current pair out.

xo, Hannah
