April Favorites

Another month has come and gone. How is it almost Summer already? April was such a busy month for me and it went by in the blink of an eye. I’m getting really excited for Summer though. We just got a new grill and fired it up for the first time last night and made some chicken. I can’t wait to spend time out in the backyard with the pups and for it to be light after 9 PM. I’m not ready for the temperature to rise above like 80 degrees yet so if we could just hold off on that, that would be great! I’m excited to share my April favorites with you because they are all so good!

App: Goodreads

I’ve been using the app and website for Goodreads for a while now but I’ve been loving it this last month. My reading goal for this year is 40 books and this app helps me keep track of how many books I’m reading and how much I enjoyed them. I love being able to add books on the go instead of writing down the title of a book I want to read and then losing it. Plus, they host lots of giveaways so you can potentially win a book that’s on your “to read” list.

Podcast: Haunted Places

I love all things ghosts so you know I’m all about those paranormal podcasts! Haunted Places is so good that I’m always waiting anxiously for the next episode. Every episode is about a different haunted location around the world. I love hearing about the history and potential hauntings of each location. The host’s voice is so easy to listen to and the podcast is really well done.

Book: Grave’s End by Elaine Mercado

Another ghostly favorite! (I know, I know, I can’t get enough!) I just finished reading this true story about a family who lived in a haunted house in the Gravesend part of Brooklyn. I found it to be a fascinating, genuine read and finished it in two days! I couldn’t put it down! If you love true hauntings, I would definitely recommend this book.

Style: BP Double Scoop Tank

I am used to getting the BP camis from Nordstrom as they are my favorite under shirts but I wanted a tank I could wear under open cardigans that didn’t show my bra straps. I ordered this tank in white and absolutely love it! I got so much use out of it just in one month, I want to order more! It’s thicker so it’s not see through and I love the wider straps. It runs slightly small so I would recommend going up one size if you don’t want it to be too snug.

Beauty: Covergirl Melting Pout Matte in Coral Chronicles

I’ve shared this lip color on my Insta stories before but I wore this lip color so much in April! It’s currently my go-to lip product. I love a good matte color as I am not a fan of lip gloss. This lip color stays on really well and the color is more of a neutral coral. Its not a super bright shade so it’s a good daily wear. I do put lip balm on underneath it as I tend to have drier lips in the Spring. I really love this product and want to try some of the other shades for Summer.

Snack: Better Oats Oatmeal

I’ve never been a huge oatmeal fan, the texture just gets to me. But my coworker was eating this oatmeal in the blueberry muffin flavor and it smelled heavenly! I bought a box and decided to give it a try as I like to eat something to keep myself full during my morning meetings so my stomach isn’t making crazy sounds. I bought the blueberry and maple and brown sugar flavors and have continued to buy them for the last month or so. I eat one every morning for breakfast and even sometimes on the weekends if I’m in a hurry and need something to eat on the go. These are so yummy and filling!

What were some things you were loving in April? I’d love to hear!
