May wrap up + favorites

Hey there!

After a week of stepping back, I’m back to creating content. As always, I hope everyone is safe and that we can create sustained change towards equality and justice. I’ll keep on sharing as many resources as I can on my instagram, and if you’d like to donate towards the Black Lives Matter movement or sign any petitions, I still have a bunch of links in this post. 

May was a bit of a weird month. I hit a slump but I also left my house for the first time since March, so at least there’s that. Just so you know, I only went to the grocery store and donated blood, if you can please stay home and practice social distancing!

Now onto the bookish wrap up: I read 7 books and participated in a read-a-thon that lasted for the entire month.

Favorites:

Modern Family: I’ve started a rewatch from the very beginning with my sisters, and we’ve been having a blast. This is one of my favorite shows, and considering the state of the world lately, I think we could all use some comfort shows & media. Every episode makes me laugh at some point, there are so many relatable moments and I found out that Phil is actually my favorite character. He’s such a sweetheart! Also, family dynamics are my favorite relationships to read about, so this show is perfect for me. 

That’s it for May. I know that this wrap up is a bit late, but from now on my posting schedule is back on track. How was your month? Any new favorites?

Until next time,
