Things I'm Loving ~ Sunshine

Would it surprise you if I told you that I live in Washington State and in a desert? Yeah the Evergreen State state isn't all covered in trees. In fact, this is what my area looks like:

Beautiful isn't it?

It's a high elevation desert so we have extreme winters and summers. This summer is no exception. Blue skies, 100*+, and low humidity weather has been the norm for the last few weeks.

I just love the sunshine we get here (even though it gets face melting hot)! Since the hot weather came to town I switched up my makeup routine for the summer. Who likes their makeup sliding down their face?! Not me! So I made a video this morning about the lighter makeup I use. Check it out:



Do you change up your routine in the summer? Do you have one particular cosmetic you just can't survive summer without?

Distractions

Remember that "raccoon" discussion we had a week or so go? Well to be honest, sparkly things aren't the only things that distract me.

Books.

Books have been keeping my mind in the wonderful land of imagination and out of the land of blogging. I was surprised to find that I have read 14 books this year alone! Can you believe it? No wonder I feel like I don't have time for crafting, video games, and blogging!

The book that currently has all my attention is this:

It's the 5th book in the "Sword of Truth" series that I am just in love with. If you haven't heard of the series before, I suggest checking it out. There's lots of intense action, adventure, and a love story that makes me weak in the knees. (Seriously. Book 2 - Stone of Tears. Oh my gosh. I reread the last few chapters twice because it was so good!) If you like this sort of thing, I highly highly highly recommend this series!

Also, if you are on Goodreads I'd love to be friends! I'm knittedfox.

What books are you reading? Anything just super amazingly incredible? I'd love to hear!!
