A roundup of my current favorite products, links, and things from around the web! Check out the list and find some new things to try for yourself.
June was a good month.
Some level of normalcy has returned. I got into the grad school program I applied to (more on that below!). Took a spontaneous trip to Annapolis for a little R&R by the water. And overall, it was just a really fun, really great month.
Such a breath of fresh air from the past few months.
Summer is my favorite season, so it would be pretty hard for me not to enjoy it. But it definitely is different with the current state of the world.
Definitely feeling for my actor/performance industry friends (Broadway season is canceled for the rest of 2020) and my fitness professional friends right now (gyms are no longer apart of Phase 4 reopening in NY).
I continue to be grateful to work for myself and have steady work through all of this. I will never take that for granted.
And I am about to get even busier since I’ll be starting grad school on August 31st. I’ll be pursuing a Masters in Cyber Policy and Risk Analysis at Utica College. Luckily the program is online, so I don’t have to move or anything for my coursework. I am SO excited to get started. Registering for classes made me even more excited to get started. The coursework I’ll be completing is all so interesting and will put me in a perfect spot for my future career goal.
But enough about me…let’s get into this June’s Monthly Favorites!
To eat
From The Ground Up Butternut Squash Stalks | I love the cauliflower stalks from this company and the butternut squash variety are just as good. A delicious crunchy, salty snack!
Simple Mills Grain-Free Crackers | These have been a LONG time fave but Simple Mills recently redid their packaging so I wanted to mention these addictive crackers if you haven’t tried them already. If you’re a Cheezit lover, the Farmhouse Cheddar Crackers will be your new favorite healthy alternative.
Orange RXBars | Newest flavor to the RXbar line up with a fruity, citrus flavor for summer.
Completeats Cookies | Vegan superfood cookies made with whole foods and with no added sugar! I love the Cherry Almond and the Banana Bread.
Trader Joes Dill Pickle Hummus | No words needed. If you like pickles, you will LOVE this.
Nubocha Dairy-Free Gelato | YOU GUYS. This is a game changer. Easily the BEST vegan ice cream product I’ve ever had. Every flavor is incredible (I especially love the Peanut Butter!) and so creamy! They are also gluten-free and have no added sugar (sweetened with allulose). Totally mind blown with these gelatos and will definitely be ordering more!
