things i’m loving ✩ 24 | august 2021

August 31, 2021

Oh, August. For the past two years, you’ve been a very difficult month for me. And I always want to enjoy you, but I haven’t had the chance to since this whole pandemic started. It’s bad enough to have that daily stress, but this month was emotionally taxing for me too for reasons other than the pandemic. I had to adjust to new things—new feelings—and well, it just felt better to distract myself instead of dealing with them.

I had to deal with them eventually, so while I’m not 100%, I’m relatively okay now.

That being said, I spent much of my August deeply engrossed in other worlds by consuming a vast amount of media. Here are a few I enjoyed this month:

WATCHING

Emily in Paris. I’ve been meaning to watch this show since it came out last year on Netflix, but I hadn’t gotten around to it until now. I absolutely love Lily Collins. She’s one of my favorites and I enjoyed this first season of this show! I hope they make a second season and I can’t wait for it to come out! I also finally caught up on The Umbrella Academy too. Watched all of Season Two this month as well. That show is a trip, but I needed a few distractions, so binging these two shows definitely helped to get my mind off other things.

READING

Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch. This was a fun sequel—or companion novel?—to Love & Gelato. I actually found myself loving this book more than the first and that is saying a lot! This book was about heartbreak and how to get over it by traveling around Ireland and doing these little homework assignments. It’s also about brother/sister relationships, best friends, and music. And it’s a road trip story. Basically everything that I love in story. I highly recommend. ⠀

Listening

to my Hope & Uncertainty playlist. I’ve been stuck in what Liz Lamoreux refers to as “the and space”—in a place of both hope and uncertainty. I’ve been feeling this very profoundly this month, so I made this playlist, which I think it represents the evolution of love and lost quite well, but also lends itself to that idea of being hopeful yet uncertain. It’s a sonic representation of this “and space” for me and a great listen too.

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
