August Favorites
Donna Born in Roma Eau de Parfum
I have discovered a new love for perfume. It all started when I was looking for a wedding signature scent and now I have well and truly gone down the rabbit hole. Donna Born in Roma was a runner up to my wedding perfume but I prefer it as my everyday (maybe even signature?) scent.
This exquisite fragrance is more than just a scent; it’s an experience. With hints of vanilla, black currant, and jasmine, it’s feminine, sweet, and a little bit sexy. The lasting power is remarkable, and the compliments have been pouring in. If you’re looking to elevate your fragrance game, give Donna Born in Roma by Valentino a try!
Mint Oreos
I love anything that combines mint and chocolate, so in the realm of sweet treats, Mint Oreos reign supreme. While you may think these are a snack for winter (or at least a little closer to Christmas), they were on sale and I say you can eat them whenever you want! Plus, Costco already has Christmas decor out, so I’m good either way!
Basically, they’re delicious and a perfect palate cleanser to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Chocolate Mint Tea by Harney and Sons
As August days turned cozy, my go-to beverage was the Chocolate Mint Tea by Harney and Sons. They pair perfectly with the minty Oreos, too! This soothing infusion of chocolate and mint provided a moment of relaxation and self-care during the month and it’s just delicious!
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
I’ve been playing Tears of the Kingdom nonstop this past month. Honestly, this game was worth every delay — it makes Breath of the Wild (a truly beautiful game, by the way) seem like a beta version. The world of Hyrule is more immersive than ever, and the challenges are truly engaging. I love that it still feels cozy (I don’t have to fight monsters if I dont want to) and makes the world seem brand new despite the fact that I played a TON of Breath of the Wild.
Cute Coupe Glasses
When it comes to hosting, presentation is key. Enter my favorite August discovery: cute coupe glasses. These elegant glasses elevate your drink presentation, making you feel fancy when you sip from it, even if you’re only drinking water. Plus, they’re a hit with my friends!
