Hi friends! I’m doing something a bit different on the blog today! One of my goals for 2017 is to share more of my life and who I am besides a wedding photographer on my blog this year. This isn’t my first blog (surprise, surprise) it’s actually number 4! I started my first blog in 2007 and once blogs really took off I wished so bad I had stuck with it all those years instead of randomly posting when I felt like it! I just spent way too long re-reading the posts and I wrote back in 2009 that I thought music and black and white photographs were the most beautiful things in the world. Apparently some things never change! :) Blog number 2 was created at the request of my entire extended family to keep them all updated on the first summer I spent interning in LA! I started my 3rd blog in 2012 when I was living in Orange County and I just checked and I’m apparently still paying for the domain name because it’s still live! And no, you will not be getting the url! ;) One of the posts I used to really enjoy doing though was sharing what I was currently into, so I thought I’d start a new Friday series here where each week I share five things I’m into. It could be anything from food, to music, tv shows, pop culture, photography, hobbies, really anything! So without further ado, here’s post numero uno…
One.
Act Like You Don’t by Brooke Eden
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat while working this week. I photographed Brooke in concert back in December (I need to blog the photos!!) and she played this song on her keyboard. She was so raw, real, and emotional in her performance and it was one of those songs that as soon as I heard it, I knew I wanted to hear it again and again.
Two.
eos lip balm tubes
I’ve been obsessed with eos lip balm since it first came out (organic skincare junkie over here) and I recently bought the tube version in pomegranate raspberry. It’s so much easier to hold and you can actually put it in your pocket since it’s not a giant sphere! LOVE!
Three.
Spindrift Sparkling Water in Lemon
Do me a favor… if you drink LaCroix, buy this instead! It’s made with actual lemon juice instead of “natural flavors” (whatever that means) and only contains two ingredients: sparkling water and lemon juice! Whenever I want something with bubbles, this or kombucha are my go to.
Four.
The Bachelor
I’m always into this show, but I figured it had to make my inaugural post this week. Although, I’m not sure if it’s the Nick or Corinne show this season! ;)
Five.
Giving back
I just made it past the selection process to volunteer with a really great organization over the next few months and I can’t wait to start! I finally have a little bit of extra time on my hands now since it’s the off season and I wanted to use some of it to give back!
So there you have it! The first Friday Five! Hope you enjoyed reading something a little different on the blog today!
