Heidee's Humorous History: {August Favorites}

August Favorites

Favorite Book

Does it count as a favorite if it was the only book that I read this month? Irregardless, it probably would have counted as my favorite anyway.

I LOVED IT! The character build up was incredible. The book gave me "All The Feels" like the original 7. It did answer some of that questions that I had been wondering about since the end of the series. Don't get me wrong, I am still longing for a "Harry Potter: Life After Hogwarts", but It is nice that we can follow the life of Albus Severus Potter. :)

Favorite Movie watched at Home

Believe it or not, I have not been watching very many movies at home! I know, it is so unlike me! I have been a little enthralled in tv series lately as well as reading.

Anyway, my favorite would have to be 10 Cloverfield Lane.

I was really skeptical when I started watching because the other Cloverfield movie was TERRIBLE!

But I really enjoyed this. It definitely kept my attention and had a good twist!

I liked it even though it is hard for me to imagine John Goodman as a bad person. Hahah!

Favorite Movie I Saw In Theater

Again, does it count as a favorite if it was the only movie that I saw?! I think it is a little bit of a stretch. But, alas, It is my favorite for the month of August! :)

I really, really, REALLY liked Suicide Squad. To tell you the honest truth, I had no idea what it was about when I went to go see it. I knew that it was about bad people working together to make a new team, but I didn't know that they were Marvel characters! In hindsight, that is super silly that I didn't know that. But I am glad that I went and saw it!

Harley was my favorite. I mean, isn't she everybody's?

Favorite TV Show

Ah. Supernatural. My love for it never ends! I have been rewatching in this past month and I almost forgot how amazing and funny the first season was! haha! An oldie but a goodie! :)

Team Dean (aka Jensen Ackles), forever and ever! :)

Netflix Bingewatch

Those of you that know me, know that I LOVE anything scary/thriller/suspense. Obviously I like a good chickflick or comedy anytime as well. But this new Netflix original series is AMAZING! It has such a Stephen King feel to it and I could not get enough of it!

At first I was a little disappointed because there were only 8 episodes but I am thrilled that they have already started filming the second season! I could watch this series over and over again!

You, yeah you! You need to go watch this... NOW! :)

Favorite Song

The first time I ever heard of Matt Nathanson was from my Brother-in-Law, Jim. And at that time, he wasn't my Brother-in-Law yet. I always laugh when people claim to be Matt Nathanson fans and they only know of the one Album "Some Mad Hope" which has Come on Get Higher on it. *Insert hysterical laugh* I feel that I cannot even claim to be a serious Matt Nathanson fan because he has so many albums and I was even late in the game when I fell in love with "Beneath These Fireworks." That album was his SIXTH album!

Anyway, sorry for the rant. My favorite song this month was on his latest album and that is "Gold in the Summertime."

I hope you love it as much as I do. :)

Favorite Lip Color

I do have an extensive addiction and collection of lip products. And I'm not even ashamed about it! :) This months favorite would have to be another Gerard Cosmetics. I only have 4 or 5 lip products from them, but I am super impressed at the quality and pigmentation of the lip product! This, again, is a lip color that was originally and collaboration with Jaclyn Hill, and like I said in my last favorites post, for some reason they aren't affiliated anymore.

Anyway, this is Gerard Cosmetics Butter Cream.

It is a lipgloss. The nice thing about their lip glosses are that they have a light on the tip and a mirror on the side.

I honestly don't go out "clubbing" and it is honestly pretty rare that I apply lip products more than once. But I think that this is an amazing feature for people that are wanting to reapply in places that may not have a mirror.

Anyway, this color is the perfect nude pink. It is highly pigmented, but not too sticky. I love it!

Favorite Eye Shadow Pallet

Morphe Products are something that I don't but often, but when I do, I am never disappointed. I think that I have a total of three of their Eye Shadow Pallets. They are all INCREDIBLE!

My favorite for this month was the 35F-Fall Into Frost Pallet. It has a majority of shimmer eye shadows and then one row of matte transition-like colors.

The best part about these pallets is the price tag! This retails on their website for $22.99! For real! This Pallet has 35 eye shadows. That averages as $0.66 a shadow! They are so butter and creamy and pigmented! Also, if you are a make-up YouTube watcher, most of the channels have a discount code of 10%. Which, off of $23 isn't all that much, but it still is something!

I can create an infinite amount of looks with this pallet and I was always grabbing for it during the month of August.

Favorite Perfume

I have started grabbing for Perfume since August. And my favorite one this month was Marc Jacobs Daisy. I honestly only have a few perfume's anyway, but this one is the perfect mix of musk and sweet. :)

Favorite Nail Polish

My Nail Polish Addiction continues! Would you expect anything less!?

This month my favorite color was O.P.I.: Kerry Blossom

When you combine the color with gold and lavender, it is spectacular!

*Insert heart eyed emoji*

Purple is pretty much the greatest, isn't it?

Favorite Shirt

While we are on the topic of purple. Just... LOOK AT THIS SHIRT!

It is definitely my favorite shirt for the month. It is light weight, purple, and flowy and amazing! :)

It is from target and it is Xhilaration brand! :)

Favorite Pants

Again, these Bermuda shorts from target are amazing! They are honestly the longest Bermuda shorts that I have ever owned! Mine are a lot darker of a shade than this, but they are stretchy and comfortable and cover up just enough of the thigh. :)

Denizen Bermuda Shorts

Favorite Shoes

I'm not gonna lie, I have been boycotting these sandals for what feels like forever! But, I bought a pair, at Zurchers of all places, and I am OBSESSED!

They are insanely comfortable and they match everything! ;)

Now that fall is around the corner, I probably won't be wearing them as much, but they have definitely been used since they day that I bought them.

Favorite Accessory

I had a hard time finding a picture of the gold bar necklace that I got from Old Navy forever ago. I am wearing it in this picture. I hope you can see it enough. But I wore this almost every other day in the month of August. I have been obsessed with Gold for the last several months.

On a side note, How cute are my friends!? I think they are pretty adorable. :)

Favorite Activity

Sandee treated me to a trip to St George to see Tarzan at Tuachan. It was such an amazing trip and was so rejuvenating!!!

We decided to drive down to the Grand Canyon and I could have stayed there for days. It is so incredible and unique and I wanted to examine each part of the beautiful creation!

Then on the way home we drove through Zions.

A frequent statement of mine during this whole trip was " I don't understand!" I really don't understand how something like this is created, but it definitely affirms that there is a God that created this beautiful world!

Favorite Extra Purchase

I treated myself to some makeup organizers so that I could create a fake "vanity." I think that it turned out quite nicely and I smile every time that I see it through my closet door.
