It’s Monday!! Woohoo!! I’m super excited on this Monday because today I’m getting a new niece!!! My brother and his fiancé are having their second baby girl today and I can’t wait to meet her!!! With the addition of this sweet baby niece that will bring my grand total of nieces and nephews up to 8 (6 nieces and 2 nephews) and I love them all to pieces!! Nieces and nephews are seriously the best. If you check out my IG later today I may have a photo of her on there!!

So anyway, back to today’s post, Currently. I haven’t done a life update or just completely random post in a while so here we go!!

Currently I am…

…looking for some new blush. I usually just use this bareminerals all over face color as a blush but recently I’ve been using this one and I am feeling the need to change it up. Thoughts? Suggestions? Tell me your fave blush!!

…watching Game of Thrones. Like everyone else in America I am GOT obsessed. I usually wait until the week of the season finale to start watching the whole season, I would rather binge watch it that wait, but I started season 7 last week and now I’m mad at myself because I hate waiting week to week to see what happens next. Ugh. It is SO DAMN GOOD though!!

…listening to Sam Hunt’s Body Like a Back Road on repeat. I am usually not a big fan of country music but I am a little bit obsessed with this song!!

…waiting ever so patiently on college football to get started!! I am a HUGE Texas Tech Kliff Kingsbury fan and after going to a game last year I can’t wait to watch him again this year!! Y’all. I could seriously listen to his voice all day long. Le sigh…

…obsessing over my new perfume. I have a Viva la Juicy fan for the past 10 years and I recently purchased Viva la Juicy Sucré and it is magical!!! The top notes are Brazilian gardenia, mandarin and red currant. The middle notes are orange flower, jasmine flower, peach nectar and almond cream. And the dry down is cocoa bean, sandalwood, whipped cream and vanilla extract. It’ alike summer time and Valentine’s Day all wrapped up in one. It my just be my favorite of the Vivas. I also have the original, Viva la Juicy Gold and Viva la Juicy Rosé. Told you I was a Viva fan…LOL!!

…drinking Starbuck’s Carmel Apple Spice. I have seriously had three in the past week and I can’t get enough of them. Yes, it’s still summer and this is technically considered a fall drink but what can I say, I’m a rule breaker baby!! Plus it’s seriously delicious and gives me all the fall feels!!

What have you been up to, currently??

    Game of Thrones is the most amazing show I’ve ever seen. I won’t give any spoilers here, but darn if Arya isn’t the coolest character on that show.

    I’m right there with you on GOT. I waited 3 weeks to start the season just so I didn’t have to wait another week to see the next episode. But The Spoils of War was SO good I couldn’t wait to watch the next haha.

    I’ve heard so much about Game of Thrones, but I’ve never watched it. I should check it out sometime.

    We are also GOT nuts. I would love to binge watch it, but too many people leak spoilers on Facebook. How do you avoid that?

    Body of a Backroad is on constant repeat here too! And I don’t really listen to much country these days, but just love it. I fell off the GOT wagon last season. I just couldn’t get in to it anymore.

    So about random awesomeness!

    GoT – My obsession! And even though he was killed off WAY to soon , the show introduced me to Jason Momoa. Yum!!! :-)

    Blush – Bairly Sheer Airbrush Cosmetics Spray On Rose Blush – You shake the can spray on the apple of your cheeks and it’s super easy to spread. Has great staying power and a little goes a long way. And I’m not even normally a pink blush gal, but I really like this one!

    Viva – I have never once tried this perfume. Don’t ask me why, I love hitting department store counters and spraying everything, how La Juicy has slipped past me all these years I do not know. I will have to check them out next time I am at the mall.

    Congrats on your new family blessing! :-)

    Sounds like the summer has been treating you well :-)

    The caramel apple spice sounds amazing! I’m sure your new perfume is lovely! I love binge watching as well but when it comes to shows like GoT, I always make sure that I watch the episodes as soon as they air.

    Congrats on the new niece! I miss having a baby in the house because all my nieces and nephews are already big – my youngest niece is already 7. Anyway, that perfume sounds amazing. I may have to give it a try.

    I like the “currently” idea – kind of goes along with my “Three Things Thursday” theme I’ll be posting today. Your Carmel Apple Spice looks delicious! Congrats on your new niece and aunt status!

    I’m giving serious thought to starting up GoT myself. I’ve been holding out waiting for the books to finish but I’m starting to resign myself to the fact that may not happen. By all accounts, the show is fantastic, so why not?
