Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
So we’re doing something a little different this week since it’s the end of the month and I still need to get a Currently post in for February. I know, I know… I’m breaking all the rules, but I figured these currentlies are essentially random things about life, so they kind of fit. Yes? No? Yes 🙂
Current book: This is a little embarrassing, but I’m still reading The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson. I started this about a month ago, and it’s a great book, but haven’t been able to finish it since I only manage a handful of pages before I pass out for the night. Getting there!
Current music: I feel like since I can’t embed my songs into posts anymore (thank you, Jetpack), I’ll just share a little snippet of the most current songs I added to my Spotify playlist…voila!
Current [non]-guilty pleasure: Waking up after the sun starts to rise. No. Seriously. I finally managed to learn to sleep in late enough (~7am?) that it’s actually bright out when I open my eyes. Kind of addicted to these longer days. Good thing more are coming.
Current drink: Water. Lots and lots of water. I’ve pretty much figured out that I need between 3 – 4L a day to make sure that everything is working as intended. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
Current food: Frozen blueberries, as weird as that might sound. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m craving summer in a mean way or because my body needs something that blueberries have, but I’ll eat those suckers until my lips turn blue. Literally.
Current obsession: Ketchup. Like… don’t even talk to me about the extent of my obsession. I choose food based on whether or not I can put ketchup on it. True story.
Current craving: So this toasted coconut espresso smoothie from The Almond Eater freaking looks ah.maze.ing. That combination of flavours, though. I die.
Current need: At this current moment? Sleep. See procrastination below.
Current beauty product: You know that mascara I mentioned in my January favourites post? YOU GUYS. You seriously need this in your life. I mean, I know that different mascaras work for different people, but this one has done some crazy impressive things to my lashes that even the high end mascaras haven’t done. I actually need to pick up another tube. Mine’s almost out.
Current procrastination: Ahm. Finishing up my blog posts. I’ll work on them throughout the day while multitasking on other things, aaaaaand then sometimes not finish them until it’s super late. Like right now… it’s currently 12:12 and I’m sitting here typing away, probably listening to something from aforementioned Spotify playlist. Almost done!
Current confession: It’s currently 12:17am and I’m hungry and definitely going to grab something to eat, because that whole “don’t eat after 6pm” thing? That nonsense is for the birds.
Current excitement: So I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this just yet, but my book launches in just a few days, soooooo that’s kind of rocking my world right now. Thank you guys for the overwhelming amount of support on that 🙂
Current mood: Very tired and a little rushed since this post is scheduled for 2am, which is in abouttttt… 5 mins. Have an awesome Thursday! 😘

What’s up,I read your new stuff named “Twitter” daily.Your writing style is awesome, keep doing what you’re doing! And you can look our website about love spell.
Oh Amanda congratulations on your cookbook! I feel weirdly emotional about this even though I’ve been out of the foodie blog world awhile now, but man that’s the dream, right?? So awesome you’ve been able to stick with this (I didn’t quite have the fortitude ha!) and create an actual book you can hold. You deserve it! <3
congrats on the book. Ketchup is definitely my jam, I put that on everything. I even use it as a dressing on salads.
I love ketchup too! Also….not eating after a certain time of night? That is nonsense. If I’m hungry I will eat haha! Hope you have a lovely weekend and congrats on the book success so far!
i love the Currently posts too.
Congrats again on your cookbook. It’s really an exciting time. Enjoy it and then get to work on the next one 🙂
I am so excited for you for the cookbook! And I also love frozen blueberries and frozen grapes, except I can never eat very many because my mouth goes numb LOL
Your music playlist is perfect. What an awesome throwback!
Congrats on your book coming out in just a couple of days! How exciting–I’d be totally stoked if I were you. Heck, I’m totally stoked and I’m not you!
Confession: I don’t like ketchup that much.
I’ve heard a lot of great things about that mascara. I might have to give it a try!
Nothing like a little procrastination and pressure to get the wheels turning.
I eat dinner most nights after 6 pm s I’m in trouble. 🙂
I’m still reading Empire of Storms. I’m loving it, but it’s 800 freaking pages! Thankfully I should finish it this weekend.
So excited for your book!!!
I’ve been a little MIA in the blog world, so coming back and seeing that both you and Arman have finished your books has me SO excited!! Literally going to go order it now haha! Congrats on finishing it- I know it must have taken so much time and effort and it looks freakin ahhhhhmaaaaazing!!
I definitely need to try out that mascara! I have the shortest and straightest eyelashes (I can thank my half Asian side for that) so mascara has always been a biggie for me. I recently got eyelash extensions, though, and they have changed my life 😂
Mmmmm…..blueberries!!! And I can’t wait for your book!!!
Current favorite book…. Well, I really enjoyed reading ‘Ben Hur’, and I’m also loving one called ‘The Forgotten Fear.’
Frozen Blueberries are yummy! You should dip them in chocolate.
Can’t wait for your book to come out; it’s just so incredibly beautiful.
I’m going to be all over that mascara, thanks for the recommendation.
I seriously haven’t read a book in what feels like ages. I basically have time at the end of the day to write in my journal, read a bit of my Bible and then face plant into bed. I’m hoping that maybe in the summer months I’ll have more time to sit out in the sun and read, but who knows! Can’t wait for your book girlie! <3
Frozen blueberries (and Saskatoons) are my guilty pleasure, I have some stashed away in my freezer too! My current book is Shopaholic Takes Manhattan (insert monkey covering eyes emoji).
Book – Tender at the Bone by Ruth Reichl
Food – Asparagus
Beauty product – OGX Hydrating TeaTree Mint Shampoo
Confession – I love my job but wouldn’t mind taking a sabbatical at this point…
Happy Friday eve!
That’s so exciting your book is coming out!! Congrats!! And yes, don’t listen to those silly rules about when to eat and not eat. Eat when your body tells you it’s hungry!
Congrats again on the book and thanks for hosting! Yay for good sleep too.
My procrastination involves getting out the door for a run — or anything else I have to do — because I’m sitting here working on the blog, or reading other blogs, etc. etc.
I naturally sleep later the longer the days get — I slept to 5:45 this morning — almost unheard of for me! Which seems totally backwards, but man, I needed more sleep too.
I need to bring blueberries back not my life…and give that mascara a try!
That smoothie though……………….
Frozen blueberries are so so good! I love topping them with cinnamon and eating them with greek yogurt, such a great combo 🙂
I love all your beauty suggestions, def need to try that mascara!
My current confession and procrastination is also staying up way later than I need or even want to. I find myself on my couch tired, yet I don’t move to bed for an additional hour or two just because…. its too much work?
SO obsessed with frozen blueberries as well. What is it about them??!
I’m struggling with writing posts too. I don’t hate blogging but I’ve just felt a lack of motivation lately LOL.
so excited for your book! I should try that mascara, I use Dior but I am open to suggestion if you say it’s great!
