It’s Friday! YES! For today’s post I thought I’d share with you some of my February Non-beauty Favorites. I’ve got a little bit of everything included in this post. I mean, the necessities in life. Good music, movies, books and food. HA! Plus, I threw in a pair of earrings because they are too cute to not share. February was another interesting month in Atlanta. Cold weather, ice and snow happened. Valentine’s Day happened. That’s about all I remember, ha!
February Non-Beauty Favorites
1.Music
Elle King’s new Album, Love Stuff. This girl’s voice is so amazing! I LOVE the song Ex’s and Oh’s. I have been listening to this album on repeat lately. I also have been adding Playlists to Spotify. Wanna listen to one? Click here! It’s free! My playlist Let’s Jam has a very random collection of songs that catch my attention! I love Spotify and I’m not sure how I ever lived life without it, ha. Other music I’m loving lately? The new Florence + The Machine, The Fifty Shades soundtrack because I can’t get enough of The Weeknd. His songs and his voice. Oh man. I’ve also STILL been obsessed with Uptown Funk. I figured by now I’d be sick and tired of it, but I’m still dancing every time it comes on! I also dance at my desk everytime GDFR comes on by Flo Rida. So yeah basically I’m having dance parties at my desk daily, ha!

Fun Fact about Elle King, she is Rob Schneider’s daughter and she’s from Ohio! Seriously though, love this album!

2. Nook E-Books
I have been doing some serious reading lately and I’ve been doing most of it on my Nook. My husband bought me the Nook when they first got popular (Yes, I have an older one, but it’s basically brand-new since I never used it!) and I was really bad and just didn’t use it that much. Lately though, I’ve been using it every single day since I’m trying to read more. I re-read the Fifty Shades of Grey books (I won’t even get into this because the comments I read are crazy) and I’ve been reading Wild. I probably have about twenty samples of new books I’m curious about loaded onto my Nook. If you have anymore suggestions, let me know! PS Wild is SUCH A GOOD BOOK!!! Have you read it? Do you like E-Books or do you prefer the old fashioned book?

3. Chicken Enchilada Soup and Acai Bowls
Look for recipes on these coming up soon! I mean, the Acai Bowl might not look like much, but it is so good! It’s seriously something I feel like I’m indulging in and actually, it’s really good for me! Plus, it’s really easy to make! I also made this Chicken Enchilada Soup and it has been so good on those cold, snowed-in days we’ve had in Atlanta. Yeah, we SERIOUSLY had snow. It was spicy, but not too much and was delicious! Recipes coming soon!
4. The Theory of Everything (Prices Vary)
This movie was amazing. I didn’t know how much I’d like it, but I really did fall in love with the story of Stephen and Jane Hawking. It’s such a beautiful story about the up’s and down’s of a relationship and especially with someone who is experiencing life-changing circumstances. I think this was my favorite movie I have seen in a long time! Also, I did try to watch a lot of the Academy Award Nominated movies and so far I’ve seen Gone Girl (Great movie), Birdman (It was so, so in my opinion) and Boyhood which was a really long movie that didn’t seem to have a real gripping storyline. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great. I have Whiplash and the Imitation Game to watch next!

5. Kate Spade Kiss and Make Up Lipstick Stud Earrings ($48.00)
I don’t even need to explain this one. How completely amazing are these earrings? I fell in love the moment I saw them! They are 100% me and perfect for any beauty lover in your life!

Love these posts! I saw the Theory of Everything this past weekend and I loved it as well! I knew nothing about Stephen Hawking beforehand except that he has ALS and is a physicist. I wish I had read Wild, but I watched the movie first so I have 0 desire to read the book. I have too many things on my “need to read” list as it is lol
I didn’t know a lot about Stephen Hawking, but what a great story! I mean Eddie R. did such a fantastic job portraying him in the movie and Felicity J. was fantastic in it. Great movie that I didn’t really know if I’d actually like it or not. I haven’t seen Wild yet in the movies, did you like the movie?!?
PS. My to-read list is ridiculous!
I LOVED the movie. I have no idea how close to the book it is but the movie was fantastic. Most of the movie is just Cheryl by herself and it’s still engaging even though she’s all alone hiking.
Good to know!!!
I need to start reading more! I like old fashioned books, but I could see how a kindle could be useful and convenient.
I love books, but I also love having the ability to download one when I want and it’s normally a lot cheaper than if I have to buy the actual book. Now if it’s a series that I have all the books for, I’ll continue buying the regular books.
OMG I’ve been listening to the 50 Shades soundtrack non-stop for two weeks. Whoa. Obsessed. Did you see the movie? We should discuss 🙂
And Uptown Funk is my JAM. Can’t stop, won’t stop.
PS – It could just be my browser, but the Kate Spade earrings are showing up like 10 times all down the page 🙂
K byeeee
Wow! Ok, so there were like 10 of those showing up, ha! Sorry about that!
I LOVE the 50 Shades soundtrack. It’s so good! Even if you don’t like the movie (which how could you NOT like looking at Jamie Dornan?!?) I read all of the books, enjoyed the books for the most part and enjoyed the movie. There were moments of corniness, BUT I felt the same way about the book! It was actually better than I thought it was going to be. I hope they do the other movies because I feel that’s where you get a bit more into the story.
