Monthly picks by Julia Kulik

hi readers! here are some of my favorite things from this month.

Beauty Product: Vacation Super Spritz SPF50 Sunscreen Mist

source: Ulta Beauty

as someone with sensory issues, i hate spreading sunscreen on my face! this cruelty-free & vegan sunscreen mist is a lifesaver!

where to get it: Ulta Beauty, Target, Nordstrom Rack

Fashion Item/Trend: Grey & Black Stripes

source: Edikted

this may come as a little shock to some of those who know me, but i used to be emo! now, i experiment with a few different styles, but i still love a good black and grey stripe pattern. i recently bought this matching set from Edikted and i'm obsessed.

where to shop the trend: Edikted, Depop, ThredUp, Hot Topic

Song: "Romeo" by PinkPantheress

source: The Guardian

OMG!!! miss Pink's new mixtape has zero skips, and i mean ZERO. i'm absolutely obsessed with her & this song. so cutesy and catchy but also tells a little story. pls pls pls listen to the whole mixtape, you won't regret it!!

where to listen: Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, etc.

Food/drink: Grilled Cheese on Sourdough

honorable mention to Grilled Cheesus. source: Glee :)

it's a classic for a reason. you can't go wrong with a good grilled cheese. i prefer mine on sourdough bread with cheddar cheese. for extra cheesiness, add Swiss and American, a la Food Network.

where to get it: make it at home with ingredients from your local grocery store or get it out at Panera or Saxby's.

Wild Card: The Real Housewives of New Jersey

source: Peacock

being that i live in jersey, it was only fitting that i started this show at some point. immediately i was hooked. total guilty pleasure.

where to watch it: Peacock, Hulu (with a premium subscription), YouTubeTV (with a premium subscription).

hope you find your new obsession! stay tuned for more monthly favorites.
