July Monthly Wrap Up


Hi friends!

If you have been a long-time follower of the blog, you may remember a monthly series I used to do on my blog called Pink Talks where I basically gave you all a wrap up on my life every two weeks. I loved the idea of sharing what I've been up to / loving all in one space and wanted to bring the idea back to life, but more on a monthly basis.

Here I'll be wrapping up on highlights from the past month, things I've been loving, items I've purchased and a little bit of everything in between. Think of it as our monthly girly catch up! So let's take a look at this past month, shall we?


July highlights:

I got back into blogging! At the start of July, I published my first blog post after taking yet again, another break from blogging. Since then, I've been pretty consistent in posting on my blog twice a week and being active again on social media. I forgot how much I loved talking to you all and it's been so nice having a side project to look forward to after work.

My brother moved out. Many of you may not know this, but I do have a younger brother. He had just graduated college this past pay and started a job here in Charlotte! He's been living with me for the past two months while he hunts for a place of his own. It's been so nice catching up with him since we haven't really lived under the same roof since I moved out to college and I'm so excited to be able to experience the city together! 


What I've been loving:

Working out - This past month I've also gotten into going to the gym regularly again. I've been switching up my workouts a lot and trying new things since I tend to get pretty bored in my normal gym routine. This month I was able to try hot yoga for the first time, various BBG styled workouts and a weight training session with my brother. I'm excited to try out different workout/group fitness classes in the Charlotte area too!

Grey's Anatomy - This one is kind of a surprise for me. My boyfriend loves Grey's Anatomy and I decided I would give the series a try as a way to bond together... I'm hooked. Which is surprising for me considering I squirm at any site of blood. We're only in the second season right now so no spoilers, please!

HelloFresh - I finally caved in to the "get $80 off HelloFresh" ads and signed up to see what the hype is all about. My boyfriend and I have done two boxes and we love it! It's a great and easy little date night and everything we've had so far has been really yummy! It's also a great way for me to get used to cooking again and learn new recipes. 

* Non-sponsored plug: if you guys are interested in trying HelloFresh you can use my code AMYLIM6 for $40 off towards your first box! 




What I've been buying:

If you've read my last few outfit posts (here and here), you may know that I've been on an Amazon Prime clothing kick. Everything is pretty affordable and you can't beat the two-day shipping!
  • Amazon Paper Bag Pants - I bought two colors! Blue Gray and salmon pink
  • Amazon Ruffle Sleeve Romper - such a cute and flirty romper! I can definitely see myself pairing this with converse for a more relaxed look or heels and fun earrings for date night!
  • Fabletics leggings - I got the 2/$24 deal and got two of the power hold seamless, love them!!
  • Amazon Yellow Eyelet Top - styled in this post! Super cute and perfect for summer
  • Gold hoops - These are actually my second pair, I left my first pair in Philly when I visited in November! I love these, they're so lightweight and the perfect size.
I've also been shopping a lot for my apartment still! This is the first time I'm living in an unfurnished apartment so it's been fun/stressful trying to find pieces for it. Ikea has been my go-to lately! 


What I'm listening to:
  • Post Malone by Sam Feldt
  • Boy with love by BTS ft Halsey
  • I don't care by Ed Sheeran ft Justin Bieber
  • ABG - Asian Boss Girl podcast
  • Gals on the Go podcast

And now it's your turn! What were you up to this past month? I hope you enjoyed reflecting on this past month with me and as always, thank you for reading!

xoxo,
Amy

New Blog series: #AMYIRL

Yellow and Navy Summer Outfit - Affordable summer outfit - Amazon Prime Fashion Find

Top || Shorts || Converse || Purse || Sunglasses || Earrings || Watch || Ring

Hi friends!

Today I wanted to share a new series on the blog with you all that I've actually been brainstorming about since last October. Nowadays, if you take a quick scroll through your Instagram feed you'll most likely see rows and rows of photos curated and edited to perfection. Even though everyone's feed showcases highlights of their tropical vacations, dinner dates, and on-trend outfits we often forget that that's what it really is, a highlight reel. It's easy to get sucked into thinking that everyone has an easy-breezy perfect life based off of what they share on social media because let's face it, no one wants to share the bad times.

The idea behind this new series is to break down the perfectly painted walls that we all build online and discuss more of what makes us... us and that includes sharing the not so great side. As much as I love sharing the latest fashion trends with you all or the Instagram worthy food that I'm eating, I want my little corner of the internet to be more than just cute dresses and drinks. I found over the years that even though I do love going online to search for outfit inspiration, I really love seeing more personal content that makes me feel a little less alone in certain situations that I'm going through, and I want to do that for someone too.

And that brings us to #AMYIRL. A series where I try to take you behind the perfectly filtered Instagram post and give you a little more insight into my personal life. In this series, I plan on sharing topics ranging from post-grad life, my perspective as being an Asian-American, dating, etc. I'm so excited to share this series with you all and hope you are too!

Amy

The Energy You Put Out

Have you ever had a bad day where everything that could go wrong went wrong? You know, those days where you get so fed up where even the littlest of things will set you off? We've all been there. On the other hand, have you ever had those days where you're so happy and it seems like nothing could go wrong? There may be something more to that. 

Hear me out.

Charlotte, NC Mural Round up


Charlotte NC Mural Round Up - Most instagramable places in Charlotte, NC


Hi friends!

It's probably no surprise that I love exploring Charlotte. I love that there are so many different neighborhoods with different vibes to them. One of my favorite things to do is just to drive/walk around and look for different photo spots (maybe it's just the blogger in me).

Two years ago I wrote a post on 10 Photo Spots in Charlotte, NC and loved sharing some of my favorite places to take blog photos with you all. Today I'm back with a similar post rounding up my favorite murals that I've visited in Charlotte! I know I always struggle with trying to think of a place to take photos at so hopefully this will help you guys at / give you ideas of where to visit if you're in the Charlotte area!

8 #BossBabe Podcasts to Check Out

I feel like there are two types of people: people who like constant background noise on at all times and people who like complete silence. Ya girl so happens to fall into the category of needing to have some type of background noise on at all times whether it be music, a YouTube video, or as of late, podcasts (which is a little unfortunate for my roommate/my neighbors...sorry!).

I pretty much have my morning routine down pat now with waking up and playing a new podcast that has aired that day while I get ready. As much as I love jamming out to my favorite songs, it's nice to switch things up every now and then listening to a good podcast. Plus, there's so much you can learn from others by listening to their own personal experiences and advice!
