Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
Hello, hello, friendly faces! I hope you guys don’t mind me throwing yet another Currently + ToL combo at you, but it’s a bunch of random things put together so I figured it pretty much fits right in anyways 🙂
Current book: Ok. So. I’m kind of in between books right now, and that’s mostly because I’ve been meaning to go out and buy A Court of Wings and Ruin, but I haven’t quite gotten there. Soon!
Current music: That, uhm… Britney Spears phase I mentioned? Still hanging out over there.
Current [non]-guilty pleasure: Tempted to delete this question because I can never quite think of an answer for it…
Current drink: So remember how I mentioned my chocolate smoothie obsession? The one that’s super simple and tastes like melted chocolate ice cream? That guy is my current drink of choice. I mean, just look at that texture!
Current food: Avocado in ALL the things. Even my smoothies 🙂 But seriously… I can’t get enough of this little green fruit.
Current obsession: I never thought I’d say this, but… cayenne pepper. I KNOW! How many times have I told you guys that I’m the biggest wuss when it comes to anything hot/spicy, and now? I can’t get enough. Thankfully, it doesn’t hurt as bad now that I’ve kind of built up my tolerance, and I’m telling you… it does amazing things for my digestion.
Current craving: Something… but I can’t quite figure out what it is. I’m in that place right now where I’m constantly picking at things to try and hit the craving on the head, but having absolutely no luck at all. Actually, it’s probably chocolate. It’s almost always chocolate.
Current need: So this isn’t really a need, need, but have you seen the new 2018 Erin Condren Life Planners? Because I know it’s only the middle of 2017 and I have another 7 months left in my current ECLP, but I kind of want need this new one. On the bright side, they actually started offering planners that go from June – June now since that’s when they launch their new ones, so you wouldn’t have to wait half a year to use your fancy new planner.

Current beauty product: Another month, another great Ipsy bag! Seeing the bright pink bag in my mailbox always makes me ridiculously happy, and they’ve been killing it these past couple of months. Brushes are an instant love, Pacifica is one of my favourite brands, and a girl can never have too much dry shampoo, bronzer, or highlighter. Nailed it.
Current procrastination: I was really hoping to start working on my tan early this year so I could get rid of this Casper-esque complexion I developed over the past 8 months, but… uhm… I haven’t spent a lot of time in the sun yet. In my defence, our weather has been super wonky this year and we haven’t really had a lot of nice sunny days. But we’ve had a few. And I didn’t spend enough time outside. Womp, womp.
Current confession: I’m a little lazy when it comes to make my own soups (all that chopping!!), so 95% of the time I’ll just grab one from a can and call it good. Or, if I’m extra lucky, pawn some off Mom when I go visit on the weekends. But even the canned ones aren’t terrible if you try to go for the lower sodium versions and then doctor them up with some cayenne (told you I’m obsessed), rice, and avocado.
Current excitement: So we’re basically one month away from summer, and in case you didn’t know:
… of summer. I’m ready for those warm sunny days, which I will spend outside. That and I’m headed on a little vacation soon. But more on that in a few weeks!
Current mood: A little bit crazy, honestly. I’m due for my period soon (sorry for the TMI), and the hormone changes sometimes make me feel a little off. Not so much emotional, but just really scatterbrained and unfocused.
Let’s chat!
Give me your current:
… a) book.
… b) food.
… c) beauty product.
… d) confession.

Hello,You make such attractive dishes that they pop right off the page. I love the pvc banners lunch boxes with just enough food in them.
Thank you for doing this so long! I love this linkup, though I haven’t Temporary Embankment Steps? participated in a long time. It’s fun to pop in and see such a great variety of links.
It’s funny you mention Britney Spears because I’ve recently been on a kick with her too! I especially love reliving her really early albums from the late 90s/early 2000s.
Grabbing soup from mom is the best! I don’t think mine will ever compare to my mothers! I wish I could add avocados! Everyone says they add the best texture to things but it’s my ONE and only food allergy. Weird, I know!
Im all about the avocado right now as well. Maybe its a warmer weather thing! More outside activity so I want all the fats.
Oh my god, I have to say – I am with you there on the addiction of Avocado! I am ADDICTED to your chocolate icecream smoothie. SO GOOD! Dessert for breakfast – hello!
Wow I cannot believe there have been 235 TOLs. Thank you for doing this so long! I love this linkup, though I haven’t participated in a long time. It’s fun to pop in and see such a great variety of links.
Alberta weather has seriously been the worst. For like, the last year. Really hoping we get a dry, hot, sunny LONG summer this year!!
I just finished reading The Power of Broke by Daymond John and am reading Scratch now about writers lives.
I love homemade soup too but I agree – the chopping can get tedious.
I totally can’t tell, but I hear you about the hormonal stuff. I feel like I have a different brain that time of the month sometimes!
Look at you basking in the spicy life, musically and with food. I mean, come on, Britney is pretty hot, especially that slave song where she shucked her little girl persona.
I just read Beartown, A Novel and loved it.
I want to hear about your vacation or just from you.
You cannot go wrong with Britney! Don’t think I’ll ever get sick of her music- so feel good! Your smoothies always look SO SMOOTH. You put the smooth IN smoothie 🙂
It’s so crazy how the weather has been up and down this year in Colorado. We’re ready for summer too, yet we do need moisture, so today there’s a snowstorm. O_O …. It’s funny, because I’ve often heard it said that you should plant after Mother’s Day, but I think this year, it’s more like after May 20th or after memorial day. Have you had pretty warm weather there?
Always up for more chocolate. I love how you love chocolate. It’s such a good food.
Yessss also so obsessed with avocado right now. And if that isn’t the most perfect looking avocado in your photo – then I don’t know what is.
I agree – it’s always chocolate 😉
my current
book: Don’t Worry It Gets Worse by Alida Nugent – I just finished her newer book, You Don’t Have to Like Me, and fell in love. It was SO good. So I’m excited to get into this one!!
food: avocado hehe also this chocolate tahini my friend gave me!!!!
beauty product: this lilac-y highlighter from colourpop.
confession: I’ve been a lousy food blogger lately – I haven’t made a recipe (or baked) in like a month… woops :/ my brain just has not been working in the recipe department. hoping for a surge of foodie inspiration soon!
That chocolate looks amazing!! I’ve been obsessed with iced coffees and smoothies lately as things are warming up!
Wait – I didn’t think I’d ever read that cayenne pepper was your latest obsession! But – yay – glad you came over to the spicier side of life 🙂 🙂
Ah I LOVE the EC Life Planner! My friend bought one for me during the year I was planning for my wedding and I haven’t looked back! I’m obsessed. And all of the designs are so cute – I always have such a hard time choosing.
I can’t wait for summer too. It’s my favorite time of year!
Every year I say I’m going to make a summer to do list so I can enjoy every moment of the sunny warmth. This year I NEED to! And I put crushed red pepper on just about everything, spicy food does do amazing things for your digestion! 😉
I saw the email that they changed the planners but I haven’t looked yet! we will need to discuss
Ive been putting avocado in my smoothies too! I actually don’t really like them on their own, but I don’t taste them in a smoothie and they make it nice and creamy! Id love to get some color on this pale skin. The weather has finally started to improved after weeks of rain and chilly temps.
I have a book for you! Beartown by Fredrik Backman. It’s about a junior hockey team in a tiny failing hockey town in Sweden. That’s all I’m going to tell you, but it will suck you in.
