My August Favorites

Hi, everyone,

Ok, I promise I will write another blog entry that is not a favorites post, but I did want to share a couple things that I was really digging last month.  (Does anyone say that anymore?  I do.)

First ... Good Thins sweet potato crackers.  Oh. my. goodness.  I'm obsessed.  I get these any time I am at the grocery store.  The actual cracker is savory sweet potato but there is also some sort of sweet coating that is crazy addictive.

Second ... the podcast Bad With Money with Gaby Dunn.  I became aware of this podcast when an episode popped up as a recommended video for me on YouTube, probably because I watch Just Between Us, which also features Gaby Dunn.  I started listening before I realized that there was already a second season, and after a few episodes I was hooked.  This podcasts covers everything from taxes to student loans to medical bills and contains a lot of good information on what 20-somethings (and 30-somethings ... and 40-somethings...) should be doing with their money.  It is also super relatable.  Five stars.  In addition to YouTube, you can find this podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts.

(Speaking of which ... does anyone have any recommendations for a good way to listen to podcasts on an Android phone???)

Third ... audiobooks.  Super generic, I know, but I just recently started listening to audiobooks in my car again.  We always get an audiobook on CDs from the library for road trips, but I hadn't been listening to them while driving in town.  I realized I was doing a lot of complaining about wanting to read more and could actually utilize this time to accomplish that goal.  So now I am listening to my book club book from this past month (oops) and I have Think Like a Freak by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven Levitt on deck.

So that's it for now.  Stay tuned for another blog post soon!  In the meantime, let me know in the comments what your favorite thing was from August.

Until next time,
Amy
