Latest Read & Things I'm Loving [right now]

{reads I am enjoying right now}

Intentionality is a huge part of married life. We covered this in pre-martial counseling of course, but now after almost being married 1 year now you start to see how true this really is! I recently heard about the book The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman on a blog I follow and decided I wanted to read it. I went to the library to grab a copy and there was a 4 week wait! Yikes! So I grabbed another marriage book by Gary Chapman called The 4 Seasons of Marriage and it was great. I walked away learning that each stage of marriage can quickly change so you have to be intentional and proactive about growing with one another and staying in the "summer" season. It also touched a bit on love languages and how to understand your partner. I really do recommend this book to married couples and those thinking about marriage, it is realistic and helpful!


{things I am loving right now}

Summer is almost over and I am trying to savor every minute. I am still loving a lot of summer trends and thought I would share a few with you guys.

1. Maxi Dresses-

I will be honest, I am NOT loving all of the current styles out there. But I do love these:

It's called a "Flounce Maxi"

 

I recently got one of these at a local boutique and I LOVE the fit. The one I got also has a low back, which makes it super cute. and a crazy pattern on the top, which I couldn't resist ;)

 

 

2. Nude Flip-flops

 

 



These are really the go-with-everything you own shoe. I have worn these with everything from a t-shirt and shorts to dress pants and a nice top. They also have them at Kohl's for $15 on sale. These really are the most practical shoes I have bought all summer.


3. Sexy Hair Straight Smooth & Protect Flat Iron Hairspray

I just tried this out last week when I got my haircut and think its fab. It's kinda pricey but worth it. It really did smooth out my hair and make it shiny.

Alright, well that's it for today. Have a great week ladies!
