My favorite things: May 2015

I missed last month’s entry because I didn’t really have anything to talk about, but I’m back in the My Favorite Things link up for May! Here are things I’ve been loving the past month.

Game of Thrones

Season 5 of Game of Thrones has started! I don’t read the books, but I am hooked on the show. When it first aired a while back, I was hesitant to give it a try. I didn’t think it’d be something I’d like. I didn’t realize the show was actually filled with politics, strategy, and all-around-backstabbery. All the different stories and crazy things going on keeps me wanting more.

Also, the female characters! They are amazing! I especially love how Daenerys has grown, how manipulative Margaery is, and how tough Brienne and Yara are.

My Favorite Things: March 2015

Another month, another entry to the My Favorite Things link up! This entry comes at a good time because it’s been a very frustrating week. It feels good to think about things that have made me happy lately instead of the negativity that has been happening (which I unfortunately cannot talk about).

Forest app

At work, I use Simple Blocker in Chrome to block distracting websites during times when I need to focus. Last month, I took it a step further and got the Forest app for my phone too. It’s a very simple and cute app that helps you stay away from your phone.

You plant a seed, and if you close/minimize the app to check other things on your phone before it grows, the tree dies! And that’s sad! Each seed takes half an hour to grow, so you can plant multiple seeds to increase the timer. After using this app for about a week, I broke my habit of always reaching for my phone. I still use the app during busy times, but I no longer need it to keep myself away for long periods of time.

My Favorite Things: February 2015

I decided to join the “My Favorite Things” link-up this month, so go check it out! Here are things I’ve been loving the past month 🙂

Homemade Curry

Maybe it’s because of the colder weather, but my husband and I have been addicted to making curry at home lately. Well, my husband does most of the cooking really. I help with some of the prep and then get to enjoy the results 😉 We’ve made Japanese curry multiple times and started making Thai curries too. The last one we made was Panang curry, and we will be trying yellow curry and massaman curry next!
