So, admittedly I didn&#8217;t really think Alison was my cup of tea. \u00a0My only perception of her was through social media, and while entertaining, she came off as a bit over the top, loud, and borderline obnoxious. \u00a0However, it&#8217;s kind of like the sun, you just have to look! \u00a0So when I stumbled across her podcast I thought well, it will at least be entertaining if nothing else! \u00a0But guys, IT IS SO MUCH BETTER! \u00a0It&#8217;s entertaining, insightful, thoughtful, she shares a ton of great resources, and seriously the babe is SUPER smart&#8230;.way smarter than I gave her credit for&#8230;shame on me, for real! \u00a0If you haven&#8217;t listened and you&#8217;re into the whole self-improvement thing (which really who isn&#8217;t?) then tune in, I bet you&#8217;ll end up liking it more than you think.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>NPR&#8217;s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/podcasts\/510313\/how-i-built-this\">How I Built This<\/a><\/span> is a\u00a0staple in my life. \u00a0I geek out on hearing other people tell their story and how they landed where they are. \u00a0This podcast takes a more personal look at the people who built the business. \u00a0The Five Guys episode is one of my favs as I truly love when success finds normal people who aren&#8217;t necessarily seeking it out!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Audio Book: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Gretchen Rubin&#8217;s Better Than Before<\/span> takes an in depth look at habits and habit creation. \u00a0I&#8217;ve found the book super insightful while also learning a lot about myself and why I have trouble with certain habits. \u00a0I would definitely recommend this book if you are looking to make some changes in your life. \u00a0For me I have really been wanting to fully commit to cleaner eating and this book has helped me set a few basic habits into motion that I can already see benefits from. \u00a0The book does focus a lot on eating habits and diets but you can definitely relate it\u00a0to all aspects of life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Day Planner:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My new <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daydesigner.com\/\">Day Designer Planner<\/a><\/span> is the best thing that ever happened to me in terms of staying organized and focused with my day! \u00a0It has legit changed my life. \u00a0This is the second year in a row that I have used their mid-year planner which is a planner for the whole year but starts in June. \u00a0For some reason I like it way better, it helps me reset and commit or recommit to my goals before the year is over. I also like\u00a0not feeling like I have to have everything planned by Jan 1, after the craziness of the holidays!<\/p>\n<p>This past week I took the time to sit and use the worksheets at the beginning of the planner to really plan out all of my goal for the remainder of the year and it felt AMAZING to get them down on paper! \u00a0I have some BIG goals to knock out of the park this year, so small ones too, but for some reason for me when I finally put pen to paper they seem that more attainable! \u00a0Outside of the goal planning I&#8217;m literally obsessed with every aspect of the planner and promise I will do a full post dedicated to how I use it!<br \/>\n<strong>Kid Fashion:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This swimwear line from <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Minnow <\/span>is adorable, especially this<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/minnowswim.com\/collections\/shop\/products\/cross-over-one-piece-in-rose\">suit<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Zara is having a huge sale, including kids. \u00a0I&#8217;m eyeing these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zara.com\/us\/en\/sale\/kids\/baby-boy-%7C-3-months---4-years\/trousers\/trousers-with-relief-detail-c542025p4258033.html\">pants<\/a> and this <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zara.com\/us\/en\/sale\/kids\/baby-boy-%7C-3-months---4-years\/trousers\/dungarees-with-pockets-c542025p4161068.html\">overalls<\/a><\/span>\u00a0for Jett, and this <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zara.com\/us\/en\/sale\/kids\/baby-girl-%7C-3-months-4-years\/dresses\/swan-dress-c541999p4292634.html\">dress<\/a><\/span>\u00a0for Charlie, plus the cutest <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zara.com\/us\/en\/sale\/kids\/baby-girl-%7C-3-months-4-years\/dresses\/striped-dungarees-c541999p4500516.html\">romper<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The Bee and The Fox always has the cutest graphic tees.
