{September Favorites}

These are a Few of my Favorite Things...

In September, anyway...

It's that time again folks. That time where I talk about things that I love, and make you all jealous in the process. September was a really good month! It was busy, jam packed, and very rewarding! :)

Favorite Book

I feel like I said this last month.... "Does it count as my favorite if it's the only book that I read?" Hahaha. But, in all actuality. If I had finished more books in the month of September, I probably would have picked this one as the favorite of the month anyway.

Siddhartha is, in my own words, a man's journey to find true peace. After going throughout many different portions of life, he realizes that Joy is not something that you find, it is something that you are. *insert chills here*

But, for real.

Since it's a favorite post, I may as well put my favorite quote, Right?

"When someone seeks," Siddhartha answered, "Then it happens all too easily that his eyes will see only the thing he is seeking, that he cannot find anything, cannot let anything in, because he is always thinking only of that thing he seeks, because he has a goal, because he is possessed by the goal. Seeking means, having a goal. But finding meals: being free, being open, having no goal. You, Venerable One, may indeed be a seeker, for, striving toward your goal, there is much you do not see which is right before your eyes."

OM! :)

Favorite Movie Watched At Home
   
Believe it or not, I have only watched one movie at my house this month. Completely crazy, right? If I wasn't reading or watching movies, what was I doing?
Just you wait, I will answer just that question.

But, Allegiant is a pretty good movie. I LOVE the Divergent series and I LOVE Shailene Woodley! I am a huge fan of book to movie adaptations. And I am also an odd ball in a sense that I will read books after I see a movie. I genuinely enjoying comparing them and it doesn't "bother" me.

Also, who wants to stare at Four all day, 'eryday. *raises hand*

Netflix Bingewatch
   
Here is one reason why I didn't read or watch very many movies. I mean, HAVE YOU WATCHED THIS SHOW!?!? It is SO great! I tried watching it with my dad, and he thought it was the craziest thing he had ever seen. This leads me to believe that those who grew up in the 90s or early thousands probably will love this show because they relate to the random things that Kimmy Says.

Like, how is it that she was able to find adult light up shoes? I definitely want some! :)

Favorite Song

This was the easiest favorite that I have ever picked.
Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness released a new single, and I am HOOKED!

I wouldn't expect anything else, but the song speaks for itself! :)    



Favorite Lip Color
   
There was a certain lip color that I grabbed a lot this month. And I love it for multiple reasons. Number 1- it makes my teeth look really white. :) Number 2- Everyone always compliments me on it. :)

This is Hypno by Ofra Cosmetics.
It was a collaboration with MannyMUA. Who is super great! :)

It's a liquid lipstick and is long wearing. I love it oh so much!

Favorite Eye Shadow Pallet
   
While we're on the subject of MannyMUA, we may as well talk about this Makeup Geek eye shadow pallet he helped create.
Creamy smooth and SUCH FUN colors! But also super wearable.

I have always wanted to purchase some makeup geek eye shadows, but they are ALWAYS sold out. So this was a perfect excuse to get some. It makes me thirsty for more eye shadows. (Heidee, stop being addicted to makeup... please!)

Favorite Nail Polish
   
I didn't pick a favorite polish as much as I picked  a favorite manicure. I seriously waited WAY too long to take this manicure off. But I was so in love with it! I did love the grey that I used, which was China Glaze- Recycle. :)

Favorite Shirt
   
I bought this shirt to wear on a very specific day. Which happened to be the day that I took my CSW exam. (Hint Hint: That is the other reason that I didn't read or watch very many movies.)

It was genuinely one of the softest t-shirt that I have every owned and it was SO comfortable! It was the perfect shirt to wear that day. And it was also a great reminder throughout the 3 hours that it took me to take the test.

Favorite Pants
   
So, I have always wanted to be a Maurices shopper. But, I mean. I'm not made of money. (Although sometimes I think I am)
My work was going to do a lip sync contest and I needed some pants that looked like an equestrian would wear (The reason will remain a secret) I found these Jeggings.

I know. Start throwing hate at me right now, because I am the first person to say that leggings are not pants. But, to be fair. These have a zipper and a button. So, I find them to be more like dress pants than leggins.
I know that I am going to need to go back to buy a bunch more. Which will make my wallet really sad... :(

Favorite Shoes
   
Sometimes, a good pair of fake tennis shoes is all a person needs.

I wore these a few times to work this month and it really helped by feet and they are just so darn cute! Also, they are from target. And anything that I buy from Target makes me happy. 

Favorite Accessory
 
I know that I have talked about my best friend before on my blog. But She truly is my favorite. Before she left on her mission, we decided that we needed something that we both would wear all the time while she was gone. We came up with these cute rings. Hers says To Infinity and mine says And Beyond. And on the inside of both it says Partners in crime.

I have fallen in love with wearing it again. Even though she isn't on her mission, she does live down in Provo and we almost never see each other. I am always happy to see a little piece of her with me wherever I am.

Favorite Activity
   
Me and Sandee decided to go to the opening Weber State Football Game. It wasn't the best game that I have ever been to, but it was fun and it reminded me how much I loved Weber. One of my best friends, Sage, is going to start school there and I almost want to go with her. I think that we will be going to a lot of events now.

Honestly, the highlight might have been when I pulled a total Heidee moment. This is a picture of Cody John. He was walking away from the stadium, minding his own business. When I went "HEY! Don't you play for the basketball team?!" He says yeah. "Can I get a picture of you?" To which he responds "Of me?" "I mean with you."
I totally embarresed this kid. And it was 100% because I wanted to get a picture with him to make an old piano student jealous. :) Hahaha

Favorite Extra Purchase

Well. During my CSW exam. I had decided that if I passed, I would buy myself every book that was on my current list. This may not seem like that many to most people. But, I recently discovered a genre of YouTube that is referred to as BookTube. So, my list has got pretty lengthy.
I haven't read any of them, but I look forward to reading ALL of them! Here they are!
   

 

Favorite Picture

   
Well. I mean. It was pretty great to be so official with my new license that I had to take a picture of my new badge that is updated and all. :)
How could it not be my favorite picture of the month?

Until Next Time...

Peace & Blessings! :)
