With March finally beginning, here’s a recap of some of the things we were loving in February!

Movies/TV Shows:

I am currently absolutely obsessed with House of the Dragon. I’m about halfway through the first season and literally cannot wait to keep watching, everyone involved with this project is so insanely talented. 

More Favorites:

  • Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret? – Emma
  • Bojack Horseman – Kat
  • Justice League Unlimited – Alison

Song/Album/Artist:

Ever since I watched Before Sunrise I haven’t stopped listening to “Living Life” by Kathy McCarty. I’ve also had “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman, “Older” by Lizzy McAlpine and “Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying” by Labi Siffre on repeat. 

More Favorites:

  • “Hot and Heavy” by Lucy Davis – Amy
  • “Timeless” by Taylor Swift – Julia
  • “Casual” by Chappell Roan – Emma

I have been LOVING Tom Taylor’s run on Nightwing, this month I read Nightwing Vol. 2: Leaping into the Light and Nightwing Vol. 3: The Battle for Bludhaven’s Heart.

  • 60 degrees in February! – Amy
  • Ice Skating at PPG Palace – Emma

Snack/Food/Drink:

I’ve been a GoMacro girl for a long time, but lately, I’ve been absolutely loving the Cherries and Berries flavor. It’s the perfect blend of tart and sweet and is such a great healthy snack.

I recently thrifted a super awesome jean jacket with parts of a bandana embroidered onto it and it’s my new closet staple.

I am constantly plagued by terrible undereye bags, but the Ordinary Caffeine Eye Serum has helped me so much and I absolutely love it!
