Watching: I finally caught up on the last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy. I'm still upset that April and Arizona are no longer going to be on the show. I also caught up on a couple of episodes of Here and Now. Today, John and I watched the finale of The Good Doctor. When I saw the preview of the episode, I thought about skipping it because it definitely looked like it was going to make me cry...and I almost did!

Reading: I'm still reading The Poet X and am hoping to finish it before the end of the month.

Listening: I just heard a cover of Rhiannon by The Langley School Music Project. I heard the cover on an episode of Here and Now and I really liked the song. You can check out the song here.

Making: I've been making a couple of layouts and I've been journaling more.

Feeling: Oh my goodness! I have been feeling so uncomfortable and exhausted. It is so uncomfortable to sit, stand, walk, and lay down. I swear I have to change positions like almost every five minutes. I feel bad for complaining, but it's the truth.

Planning: It's almost April and I still have a few last minute things to take care of before the baby comes. Luckily, it looks like we will be done with everything before the end of April.

Loving: I am so excited for May. The countdown has begun! I'm so ready to have my little one in my arms.

Happy Wednesday! Last month, I shared a project that I made for The Awesome Ladies Project Book of Me workshop. You can check out the project that I made last month here.

Today, I'm so excited to share a mini album that I made for this month's chapter of The Book of Me workshop. This month's chapter is Introspection.



I really love that this mini album is interactive. I love that I was able to add journaling to a card and have it placed in a little pocket.


I added some journaling to the front and back of my card. Then I embellished the card with some alpha stickers. I also added a black and white selfie to my album.


I added another selfie to the page. I used the tags to list things that describe me. Each tag can be pulled out of the pocket that I adhered onto the page.


Below is a closer look at the tags.


This is one of my favorite pages. Most of you may already know that I love Currently List cards so I'm sure you're not surprised to see another currently list in my album.


This page was simple to make. I just added some alpha stickers and then added some journaling.

Happy Tuesday! It's time for another Currently List.


Watching: I've been watching Grey's Anatomy, Lucifer, Atlanta, The Good Doctor, The Walking Dead, and 9-1-1. For those of you who watch Grey's Anatomy, how do you feel about Arizona and April leaving the show? I'm actually kind of annoyed that they are leaving...I wish some of the interns would leave.

Reading: I found out that Elizabeth Acevedo has a new book that was just released. I had to go buy it and I'm so glad that I did. I'm loving The Poet X. I can't wait to share a review of this book.

Listening: Top Off by DJ Khaled featuring Jay Z, Future, and Beyonce has been stuck in my head.

Making: I've been working on this month's chapter for the Awesome Ladies Project. I'm making a mini album for this chapter, but I also plan to make a couple more projects for ALP.

Feeling: I'm so exhausted. Being pregnant, recovering from my wisdom tooth removal, and Daylight Saving Time has really made so tired. Luckily, I'm not having any pain from the wisdom tooth removal so I'm really grateful for that. I've just been trying to rest as much as I can.

Planning: I planning to work on some more blog posts especially for this month. My goal is to have at least 10 posts for this month so I'm hoping that I can work on some blog posts soon.

Loving: I've been craving and eating so much vanilla ice cream which is so weird since my favorite ice cream is chocolate chip cookie dough.

1. Eyelash Curler Yes or No? No...I don't even know how to use one.

2. Favorite Nail Shade? This is a tough one. I rarely paint my nails, but when I go to the nail salon, I usually tend to go for a dark color...kind of like a shade that reminds me of the galaxy or night sky. I also do like a lot of blue shades as well.

3. Favorite Lipstick Shade? I don't really like lipstick. I prefer to use lip balm. Usually, I like pink shades, but my favorite lip balm is Maybelline Baby Lips Color Balm Crayon in Sassy Scarlet.

4. Blow Dry or Air Dry your hair? I air dry my hair at home. The only time that my hair gets blow dried is at a salon.

5. Artificial Nails: Yes or No? I rarely get my nails done. I think I get artificial nails about once or twice a year.

6. Foundation: Yes or No? It depends on the situation. I rarely use foundation and I prefer to use a BB Cream.

7. Hair Up or Hair Down? It depends on my mood.

8. Bar Soap or Body Wash? Body wash

9. Bath or Shower? Both, but I have been loving baths especially since I am pregnant. However, I will probably have to start taking showers instead of baths...it's getting hard to get out of the bathtub lol.

10. Favorite Body Lotion? I love Bath and Body Works Dancing Waters. I wish they would bring that scent back.

11. Do you wear perfume? If so, favorite scent? I've never been much of a perfume girl, but I do like Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue.

12. Do you shave your legs every day? Not during winter.

13. Favorite Lip Balm? As I said before I love Maybelline Baby Lips Color Balm, but I also like Sun Bum's lip balm in Pink Grapefruit.

14. How old were you when you first started wearing make-up? I think I was about 18 years old when I first started wearing make up. I never wore any make up in high school and I rarely wore any after that.

Do you have any favorite beauty products?

Happy Tuesday! It's time for another Currently List.


Watching: I fell asleep a bit early on Sunday so I didn't finish watching the Oscars. Thank goodness for my DVR because I was able to watch the rest of the award show today.

Reading: As usual, I'm reading blog posts and emails. Tomorrow is the release day for Elle Luna's new book and The Shape of Water so I'm excited to buy those two books. I'm not sure which book I want to read first, but I can't wait to read them.

Listening: I'm getting some laundry done and I'm waiting to hear the little tune that my washing machine makes when the load is done.

Making: I'm working on some blog posts for this month and I'm still working on some posts for May.

Feeling: I have a doctor appointment and a dentist appointment this week so I'm really nervous.

Planning: It's going to be a very busy month and I have to finish planning the rest of this month. There are so many appointments and events that is going to take place this month so I know that my planner is going to get a lot of use.

Loving: I got a new Polaroid SnapTouch Camera and I'm still learning how to use it, but so far I kind of like it. I have noticed that the photos look great when it's taken in a bright area. I think this camera will be perfect for my journal and other crafty/scrapbook projects.
