This month's 3 are pairs of shoes. What 3 pairs of shoes would you like with you if you were stranded on a deserted island? I suppose I can leave my heels at home... </div>

My <a href="http://amzn.to/2aDKrb4">Minnetonka moccasin slippers</a>. Let me tell you, I wear these daily. The fur on the inside is nearly worn out now. I will definitely buy a new pair one day, but these are amazing slippers, y'all!</div>

I've <a href="http://voguehappiness.blogspot.com/2016/07/whats-up-wednesday.html">mentioned</a> before how much I love these shoes. I have both the platinum (a goldish color) and the leopard. They are soooo comfortable and perfect for walking around a deserted island while still looking cute.</div>

So I read A LOT this month! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something about the summer months just makes me want to crack open a good book and relax after a long day. I also enjoy reading while working out on the elliptical or treadmill. It's the perfect distraction for that workout boredom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month I read a few really good ones and some okay. Fortunately, no duds this month! Here's a look at what I read in July.</div>

I really loved this book! For all the fullness of God available to His daughters, we often feel limited by two defining insecurities: “I am too much,” and “I am not enough.” <span style="line-height: 22.4px;">Co-authors and best friends Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan have felt the same, until one essential question turned the tables on it all: If God is wild and free and he created women, what does this mean for us today? </span><em style="line-height: 22.4px;">Wild and Free</em><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">is an anthem and an invitation in equal parts to find freedom from the cultural captivity that holds us back, and freedom to step into the wild and holy call of God in our lives</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">I've mentioned before that I really love Annie Downs. As a young woman, writer, speaker, and blogger, Annie shares her journey toward bravery with honesty and humor. Using wonderful stories from her own life, contemporary real-life examples, and fascinating historical and biblical references, Annie makes me want to just go out and be a better version of me.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">The best Elin Hilderbrand book I've read yet! Meredith Martin Delinn just lost everything: her friends, her homes, her social standing - because her husband Freddy cheated rich investors out of billions of dollars. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Desperate and facing homelessness, Meredith receives a call from her old best friend, Constance Flute. Connie's had recent worries of her own, and the two depart for a summer on Nantucket in an attempt to heal. I really need to see this Nantucket for myself one of these days!</span><br />

I picked up this book after reading raving reviews, and while I love Shauna Niequist, I don't love food and the industry of food enough to warrant reading a book about it. However, she does a great job of telling stories, and she includes some great recipes. You foodies might really want to check this one out!</span><br />

I read this one as part of my daily quiet time, and really enjoyed the fundamentals of how effective prayer works and how it encouraged me towards a closer, more intimate relationship with God, and shown how to develop specific prayer strategies for each area of life.</span><br />

Friday! I am so looking forward to this weekend. I'll be headed to Pensacola, FL with a couple of girlfriends, and I know it will be a blast. I'm sure we can get into some kind of trouble! Ha! We will be relaxing and completely leaving our worries behind till next week. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
Hey, Hey, Hey! It's Wednesday!<br />
<br />
We are linking up with <a href="http://www.mixandmatchmama.com/" target="_blank">Shay</a> and <a href="http://www.tabanderika.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Erika</a> for their "Stranded" series where we talk about 3 things we would want to be stranded on a deserted island with. This month's theme is celebrities. I've rounded up three celebrities I wouldn't mind being stranded with.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Dolly Parton</b><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5428b372e4b05b9e44ae1761/t/55ea05e7e4b09601852ace83/1441400296639/" /><br />
<br />
I've loved Dolly Parton for as long as I can remember. She's the perfect mix of sass and class (my personal motto!) and she would be sure to bring the right amount of spunk and entertainment to the island.<br />
<br />
<br />
*I shook Dolly Parton's hand in 2001 on that season's opening day of Dollywood! Who's jealous?!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Taylor Swift</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/26a2476dc344c27ac3e7670c9df711b2" height="225" width="400" /><br />
<br />
Taylor Swift is just the perfect best friend isn't she? Her Instagram is full of fun and real life even for a celebrity. I can imagine she'd bring a good, clean party with her to the island!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>3. Ian Somerhalder</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<img height="250" src="https://www.couchpotato.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/ian.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<br />
We need some eye candy out there on the isle, right? Ian is my number one celeb crush, and he just happens to be from Covington, LA - not too far from here!<br />
<br />
Ian, call me!<br />
<br />
He's just so sweet, and cute, and an honorable humanitarian. What's not to love?<br />
<br />
******<br />
<br />
Let me hear from you! What 3 celebrities would you bring to a deserted island?<br />

Girls, I'm totally digging the tassel!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are everywhere this summer...and not just for accessories. We're talking clothes, shoes, home decor... I just can't get enough!</div>

Judson and I made the trip up to Lake Enid last weekend for Mom's family reunion. I haven't seen some of them since long before she went into the nursing home, so it was so good to see them. As you can also see, my little bud Peanut joined us. He had a blast!</div>

Boyfriend and I went to see this one in theaters when it came out, and it was so sweet. Read the book first!<br />
<br />

I really enjoyed reading Annie Downs's <i><a href="http://voguehappiness.blogspot.com/2016/06/june-book-review.html">Looking for Lovely</a></i> last month, so I'm looking forward to cracking this one open soon.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hey, friends! It's time for another book review!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I read several good books this month and couldn't wait to share them with you. There's a good mix of fiction, Christian inspo, and one on entrepreneurial success. When you're a blogger, you love to find those little nuggets of info that can help you succeed in your own business as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I stumbled across this one in the bargain section of Lifeway and thought I would give it a try. It read in a series of letters to a Mr. Knightly and told of an orphan's journalistic success in college and beyond. It was such a fun and light read. I highly recommend it!<br />
<br />

<br />
I loved this story. Kelly Minter is one of my favorite Bible study writers and in this book she shares her stories of traveling to the Amazon of Brazil. She reminds us that the gospel is what we are truly here for and nothing else quite compares.<br />
<br />

<br />
I picked this one up on the spur of the moment and it turned out to be quite good. I related to Grace, the author, as she shared her struggles of being in her early 30s and still wondering what she should be doing and where she should be going. When all of her friends were married and having babies and living down the street from their parents, she longed for more. And she found out why. This is SO just like me.<br />

I love Annie Downs and her writing! She is so relatable and easygoing. Her storytelling completely enraptures you and gives you the inspiration you need at the same time. I can't say enough good things about this book!<br />

I was looking forward to reading this book. It was very - intellectual. I'm kinda glad I've watched Grey's Anatomy all these years so I could understand some of the medical terminology flying around. The writer is in his 30s and in his final years of his surgical residency when he gets diagnosed with an incurable lung cancer. He dies while writing this book (that's not a spoiler - it's on the back!), and his wife finishes it for him. It was good once, but I doubt I reread it.<br />

<br />
This was a cute, fun, lighthearted read. If you're even remotely from the country you can relate. A young lady from Sweden travels to Iowa to meet her book-loving pen pal and falls in love with more than just books. If you're a lover of books, you'll love this book!<br />

I read this one for fun and encouragement on how to build my brand as a writer and speaker. I love me some Juicy Couture, so it was fun having the creators as mentors for me as well. I wouldn't recommend this to read if you aren't looking for business inspo, but if you are...absolutely!<br />

I adopted Peanut in December of 2013, and he was an answer to a prayer I didn't know I had prayed. God brought him into my life at the most perfect time. We have bonded so well. He's the perfect little friend. I have become <i>that </i>girl. The stereotypical blonde girl with the stereotypical blonde chihuahua. He doesn't ride in my purse, but he does travel with me quite often.</div>

This is another one of those that is coming to theaters in 2016 that I wanted to read first. It was a slow start, but a sweet story. A girl named Louisa takes a badly needed job working for a guy named Will, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived an adventurous life, but no longer wants to live the way he is. </div>

I loved this one! The story that started out is not the one that ended. The book developed that much! AJ lives alone above his bookstore when a very rare package is delivered that changed his life forever. A must read!</div>

I've always liked Kristin Cavallari from her <i>Laguna Beach</i> and <i>The Hills</i> days, so of course I wanted to read her book. It's more of a "coffee table read" as opposed to a biopic of her life. There's a lot of emphasis on health and whole foods and includes a lot of recipes. Kristin does share some anecdotes from her life and her time on reality television, but if you're expecting an in depth memoir, this is not it. </div>

I was also first introduced to Kelly Cutrone on The Hills and The City and instantly related to her high intensity work ethic and the public relations industry. She's just one tough chic, and I really enjoyed reading this book, It's not for everyone, but for a career girl or #girlboss, you would definitely get a kick out of her stories!</div>

And last but not least, I'm still working my way through the Pretty Little Liars series finishing both books 9 and 10 this month. They are always intriguing and addicting. Very little is like the show, so you truly don't know what's going to happen next!<br />

My Dad is known for his raised gardens and accessible gardening. He's quite a hit in Mississippi and has been featured in several publications and broadcasts, but this year he has expanded and the results speak for themselves. He usually yields over 500 lbs of tomatoes alone, and that's just one veggie!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: "raleway" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Working through cooperatives and social enterprises, their artisan partners improve the quality of life in their communities in a number of ways, including literacy workshops, business training, and health programs. Women artisans are often able to work from home while caring for their families, and they can use the extra income to send their children to school. </span></div>

When I think of summer fashion, I am instantly drawn to nautical looks. It just screams summer prep. I'm loving these ensembles found on Pinterest!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

I don't have the waist for culottes, but these are effortlessly chic!<br />

I would have chosen a different shoe perhaps, but I love how she layered the dresses!<br />

<br />
<br />
Not a fan. It is too water-y and doesn't blend well. I will be sticking with my NYX <a href="http://www.target.com/p/nyx-born-to-glow-liquid-illuminator/-/A-14711294#prodSlot=medium_1_2&term=nyx+illuminator">illuminator</a> for now.</div>

<br />
I went to my local Sephora in search of a new foundation. The make up artist there tried several options on my face, and this is the one that I ended up purchasing. I really like this foundation! If you are looking for full-coverage, this is the one for you. It's creamy and long lasting, one I will definitely buy again. </div>

<br />
She also used this concealer with the foundation, so naturally I had to have it too. It's one of the best concealers I have ever used. </div>

<br />
I have finished off my favorite Tarte palette and was looking for something new. I really like this one, but it doesn't beat out my Tarte. I probably won't be buying this one again.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Tuesday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today we are linking up with <a href="http://www%2Cshullfamily.blogspot.com/">Shay</a> and <a href="http://www.tabanderika.blogspot.com/">Erika</a> for their newest series - "STRANDED!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each month we are showcasing three things we would take if we were stranded on a deserted island, and for May it's my favorite - books!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, narrowing it down to only three books is ridiculous. Thank goodness this is rhetorical because I could never choose only three books to be stranded with!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what I came up with:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/512jgDlYZJL._SX309_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Christy-Catherine-Marshall/dp/0380001411/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1462911867&sr=8-2&keywords=christy">Christy</a><br />
<br />
I absolutely LOVE this book. I started reading it one day after my mom finished it for the bazillionth time, and I got hooked. I've probably read it a half dozen times or so, and it never gets old. And don't let the cover throw you. It may be historical fiction, but it's not a romantic anything. In the year 1912, nineteen-year-old Christy Huddleston leaves home to teach school in the Smoky Mountains and comes to know and love the resilient people of the region, with their fierce pride, their dark superstitions and poverty, and their yearning for beauty.<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61UAcfOo4LL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Selection-Box-Set-Elite-One/dp/0062402668/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1462912061&sr=8-2&keywords=the+selection+series">The Selection</a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, so The Selection is a series. I'm cheating. Like I said, I can't chose three books! I love this one for so many reasons. For 35 girls, the selection is the chance of a lifetime. The chance to live in a palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous prince. But for one girl, being selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her real love who is a caste below her, leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. There's murder, betrayal, suspense, and general girliness that I can't get enough of! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51zYOKapvzL._SX494_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" height="400" width="396" /><br />
<br />
<a href="http://smile.amazon.com/Twilight-Moon-Eclipse-Breaking-Dawn/dp/B0087OUJCA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462912280&sr=8-1&keywords=twilight+books">Twilight Saga</a><br />
<br />
Another series, another cheat! If you don't know about this series, I assume you don't care or you've been living under a rock the last 10 years, so I won't even bother to recap this one! (Grin!)<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course if I'm going to survive on a deserted island I have to have God's Word! This is my favorite study bible out there. It uses the inductive study method designed to allow God's Word to become its own commentary. Readers are guided along with the help of study tools and questions that enable them to make the most of Scripture. I can't sing the praises of this bible enough!</div>

Today I am linking up with <a href="http://www.momfessionals.com/">Andrea</a>, and we are talking about our personal style! </div>

I spent years trying to decide what I looked best in. Honestly, it's still something I struggle with from time to time. I'd like to think I fall into the <b>feminine/classy/preppy/trendy </b>category.That should cover it! Anyway, I like to look nice and I LOVE color. And sparkle. </div>

I have spring fever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's finals week for me, so I'm busy studying for tests in Old Testament, Counseling and History of Christianity. I can safely say I'm ready for this semester to be finished! I was so proud of my 4.0 last semester. This time...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Like I said. I'm glad this semester is over! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I mentioned in this post that I was working on a special project that I am excited to share with all of you. I've been hard at work creating a website specifically for my writing and speaking ministry. It will be launching July 6, so stay tuned for more info about that. I have bared my heart and soul in my writing, and I know that God will be glorified through my work. I hope it will touch each of you in some way. </div>
