Podcast Edition
This month I have been all about the health and wellness podcasts.
My favorite way to start the morning is by listening to a good podcast; it helps me set an intention for the day, and really makes a difference on how the day goes!

Podcast Favorites
I have been obsessed with podcasts recently. Don't ask me how, it started with one & then I stumbled down a rabbit hole. BUT I couldn't be happier about it because they're all great & entertaining!
So I just wanted to go ahead and share some of my favorites with everyone, & to make things easier I've split them up into the categories: Humor/Advice & Beauty/Lifestyle.
I know I can't be the only one looking for new podcasts constantly so I hope you enjoy!

My Favorite RomComs
Well, its our
favorite
time of the month again ladies! And you know what that means- emotions left and right; so what do we do to soothe our pain? We eat chocolate, lay in bed, and watch romcoms. The perfect remedy to any emotional mess. So let's grab the popcorn (and the chocolate) and get ready to be in our feels.
1.
Sleepless in Seattle (1993):
First off- Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are an epic romcom movie duo. they should just get married in real life tbh. When Jonah, Sam’s (Tom Hanks) son, calls into a late night talk-show program trying to find a new wife for his dad, Sam begins to tell his epic love story on air. While Annie (Meg Ryan) begins falling in love with a man she’s never even met. But with the help of Jonah, they get together.
2.
You've Got Mail (1998):
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan back at it again! She’s trying to keep her small family-business bookstore alive while he’s opening up his superstore bookstore, forcing her to close down. While these two despise each other throughout the movie, little do they know they’re falling in love with each other online. When Joe (Tom Hanks) finds out it’s her he’s falling in love with, he immediately starts trying to befriend her, getting closer to her in real life so that he can reveal to her that it’s him she’s fallen in love with. One of their best movies and definitely one of the best romcoms of the century.
3.
50 First Dates (2004):
She can’t remember anything after a day and he can’t get her out of his mind. He’ll do anything to see her and does everything he can for her to keep up with the passing days. Adam Sandler and Drew Barymore are the perfect duo in this movie.
4.
Blended (2014):
Adam Sandler and Drew Barymore yet again! These two are just too cute in movies together! They have the worst blind date ever and then on top of that, their two families just happen to go on vacation together by accident! As the movie progresses they begin to understand each other better, especially as each of them helps each other’s kids throughout the film. And as always, they end up falling for each other by the end of the movie. Like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, these two are a couple I wish were together IRL.
5.
Just go with it (2011):
As much as I love Adam Sandler in movies, I love Jennifer Aniston in movies about 10x more! Danny (Adam Sandler) pretends to be married to get girls, but when he meets Palmer (Brooklyn Decker) she’s not interested in getting involved. So instead of coming clean about the whole charade, he decides to enlist his friend and coworker, Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) to act as his soon-to-be ex-wife, but when her kids get involved, it takes a whole new turn. Instead of being a short charade, Danny ends up having to take the entire “family” on vacation acting like their father to impress Palmer, when he actually ends up falling for his best friend.
6. The Proposal (2009):
I honestly didn't think I was going to like this movie when I first saw it, but I was wrong. Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock star in this movie where in the beginning they can't stand each other, then he finds out he has to
marry
her? They get off to a pretty rough start but by the end of the movie they realize just how much they actually cared about each other.
7.
She's the Man (2006):
Okay, if you’re not a millennial then you’ve probably never heard of it, this movie was from before Amanda Bynes went crazy. She’s posing as a dude in order to play soccer with all the guys and it’s going
great
until she falls for her teammate. This one’s a soon to be favorite for everyone who watches it because it's just THAT good.
Did I forget to mention that Channing Tatum's in it?
8.
A Cinderella Story (2004):
For any Hilary Duff fans like myself, this is a childhood classic! Chad Michael Murray is everyone’s favorite prince charming in this 2000’s classic. A modern take on our favorite Disney movie, this one never gets old.
9. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003):
I cannot lie, but Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are GOALS in this classic. He's trying to win a bet and she's trying to get dumped. Weird right? But it works! They both end up accidentally falling in love with each other (of course) but the story line to get there is definitely one that's different. This movie will forever be one of my all time favorites!
10: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999):
I have saved the best for last! There is no way this movie could be any more perfect. Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) can't date until her older "mutant" of a sister, Kat (Julia Stiles) dates. So what do they do? Pay Patrick (Heath Ledger) to take her out! Little do they know he’s absolutely perfect for her but once he falls for her, everything gets unraveled. Heath Ledger is perfection in this movie, especially when he serenades Kat in the bleachers scene (like omfg I can't handle my emotions right now) This movie has got to be my all time favorite, if only guys like Heath Ledger serenaded you IRL…
Now that you've seen some of my favorite romcoms, leave a comment below telling me some of your favorites! And if you'd like to see any of these movies, check out the links down below!

My Summer Playlist
I made a summer playlist!
Since it's summer, I felt like it called for a playlist for those beach days with your friends! During the summer I feel like I normally listen to music that's going to keep me upbeat throughout the day and keep the good summer vibes going. So my playlist usually includes a little bit of country, some Jimmy Buffet, (really anything with steel drums), or anything Bob Marley. It really captures the essence of summer, in my opinion. So I've created a summer playlist on my Spotify, hope you enjoy!
