Currently // February 2016

What I've been up to in February. // dreams-etc.com

reading…

GIRL THROUGH GLASS by Sari Wilson. (Look out for a review on Wednesday!)

watching…

Making a Murderer, which I have complicated thoughts about. (And will talk about a bit more in March.)

creating…

I’ve been working on some poetry and a short story idea that’s been floating around in my mind for awhile.

make-up…

A repeat from January: simple. Foundation, bronzer, mascara, maybe eyeliner.

learning…

How to fit exercise into my life… which really isn’t that hard when you make it a priority. I think I developed an exercise habit this month… and I’ve discovered some new workouts that I absolutely love, as well as re-discovered some old ones. And they’re all dance workouts which are, in my opinion, the best kind.

listening to…

Different podcasts, mostly. I’ll post a roundup of the podcasts that I’ve been listening to soon.

Oh! And the classic rock station when I’ve been in the car. I love the oldies!

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?

    Creating. Learning how to bring my insides out.

    Learning. How to find my strong voice and what it is that I like.

    There you have it, finding myself and setting my goals.

    I need to watch Making a Murderer. I live where it happened, so I’m really curious. It’s up next in the que. I also love dance workouts!

    I’ve been up to watching the TV show Blindspot, which I am so excited that it’s coming back on soon. I haven’t watched making a murderer yet, but have heard mixed results about it! I’m also trying to get into more of a fitness routine, and agree when you set it as a priority, it is easier to accomplish! I love these kind of posts, thanks for sharing 🙂

    Your “learning” is something I really want to learn, too! I just made a list of things I want to accomplish before my 30th birthday, and finding a form of exercise I love is on it 🙂 I think dance would be one of the most likely options for me… will you be sharing more specifics later? 🙂

    I loved Making a Murderer. I definitely had my own thoughts on it too! I’m also trying to fit exercise in my life as well as eating healthier.

Okay, Mina. Your human needs a hug. And maybe we should consider taking more flattering videos of the two of us. 😂

I’m thankful that you can see Mina throughout the entire video…there were a few days in July that I wasn’t sure she would be around much longer.
