Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
Hello, hello, friendly faces! Just throwing another Currently + ToL combo at you, but it’s a bunch of random things put together so I figured it pretty much fits right in anyways 🙂
Current book: I’m actually in between books right now. And when that happens, I usually just end up grabbing a different book and reading a handful of chapters/pages each time I need something. So I’m technically reading 10 books but also 0. If you have any good books, let me know!
Current music: This random collection of songs right here…
Current [non]-guilty pleasure: I literally can’t watch anything on YouTube without something strange popping up on the “recommended for you” sidebar… which is all well and good, but then I click on these things, lose 2 hours of my life, and spend the next 1 wondering what the heck I just watched. Most recently it was a channel called Only Human, which “explores how commonplace our peculiar, yet wholly human, behaviours have become in our society.” It’s interesting, to say the least.
Current drink: Water, water, and more water. I actually don’t think I’ve been drinking enough with how much warmer it’s been lately, and I think my stomach is trying to tell me it’s time to start drinking more. Ahem. BUT! I’ve been drinking it out of a mason jar, so that makes it a little cooler… right?
Current food: A lot, lot, lot of fresh summer fruit. Gotta load up now before I’m forced back to bags of frozen fruit for 8 months. Even though… let’s face it… I’m still eating frozen fruit. Perfect for those hot summer days.
Current obsession: Cooking with wooden spoons… which I feel like is a pretty lame obsession, but there you go. I dunno! Especially now that I’ve been making more stir fries, I’ve just found something so satisfying about cooking with wooden spoons. Maybe one day I’ll even try eating out of wooden bowls.
Current craving: Avocado. In everything. On everything. Around everything. Just… everything.
Current need: To replace my laptop battery, apparently… Even though I haven’t really noticed it not holding power as well? Prolly just a gimmick to get me to spend more money on things I don’t need. And now that I’ve said that, watch my battery die tomorrow.
Current beauty product: That St. Tropez gradual tan tinted body lotion that I got in my last Ipsy bag. It’s subtle enough that I don’t have to worry about applying it wrong and having it look super streaky, but it definitely gives some noticeable colour… especially over time. AND! it has a nice tint to it, so you also get some colour right away.
Current procrastination: Getting all the recipes that have been floating around in my head out onto the blog. I really feel like I needed to take a little bit of time off, but I do miss it… so I’m hoping it won’t be too hard to get back into the rhythm.
Current confession: I did it! In the library… with the candlestick (kudos if you know where that’s from). But actually… saying that makes me really want to play board games again.
Current mood: Super chill 😎

Haha I got the Clue reference!! Also idk how you made a picture of water look so good, but that mason jar pic was stunning. Made me want to go and get a glass of ice water right now. 😋
The question is, are you Mrs. Peacock?? Miss Scarlet?? 😜 If you ever need a good book, I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND anything by N.D. Wilson…but especially his 100 Cupboards series or the Outlaws of Time series. SOOOO good imo!!!!😍
Have you read “A Dog’s Purpose”? OMG such an amazing read, and you will definitely be sobbing. It makes you look at your dog in a whole new way.
Current food is probably cauliflower rice ’cause I’ve only recently tried it and instantly became obsessed.
Current beauty product is Luminance Skincare.
Current confession? Miss your blog posts, but totally get if you need a break <3
I’m totally into fruit right now too. Berries all day, everyday! I need to get some more music, so I’ll check our your recs!
I got that same St. Tropez tanning lotion in a subscription box recently too but haven’t given it a try yet. Good to know it works well – I’m super pale so I’m always a little afraid of tanning products!
So many laptop battery said the same thing but since it is a pretty old computer we opted to just get a new one. We actually got a desktop and so far I am loving it. I found that I wasn’t getting much work done due to distractions when I was on my laptop but now that it is in a designated office I have been getting my blogging mojo back…or could be that I now have a beautiful iMac 🙂
Those strawberries and blueberries look ahhhmazing. I NEED to get out and pick blueberries.
Cooking with wooden spoons is fun. 🙂 And all this summer fruit has just been extraordinarily amazing this year. I still can’t believe that there’s such a variety that we get to enjoy every year. I have to admit that all the apples in the fall are pretty cool too.
That oatmeal with fruit looks delicious!! And I just wrote a blog post with my top 25 book recommendations from the over 100 books I’ve read in the last 2 years – check it out!
A GREAT book I just finished was “A Man Called Ove,” if you haven’t read it yet. Lots of dry & sarcastic humor, yet heartwarming too.
Fresh fruit is amazing. I can’t get enough watermelon at all! I need to get a book. I’ve been saying it for months, lol.
Being between books is always such a weird feeling for me. I recently posted to Facebook asking friends for recommendations and then requested all of it from the library without even researching them first, just to see what happened. Of course almost all of it arrived at the same time! It’s been fun to try different books out though.
