Happy First of August! I know I seem to say this every single week, but I still cannot believe how quickly this summer has flown by-it seems as though May just got here yesterday!

ONE

Is there anything better in the summertime than a light, fresh salad as a light lunch or snack? I think not!

I cut up fresh garden-grown tomatoes & seasoned them lightly with Greek seasoning, topped that with feta cheese, fresh greens, walnuts, and dried cranberries-no dressing needed, this salad was already packed with flavor!

TWO

The official countdown is on until we leave for Nashville & I couldn't be more excited!

I can't wait to visit some of our favorites (mentioned here in my Nashville Travel Guide) and find some new faves as well! If you have any suggestions for Nashville-please leave them below, I'm always looking for new places to eat, visit, etc.

THREE

I have a new guilty pleasure...it's Pretty Little Liars!

I tried to watch the show back when it started on TV & I just couldn't get into it-it was creepy & I honestly didn't watch too much TV in high school.

But now that it's on Netflix & I can have it on while I'm folding laundry, putting away dishes, etc. I love it!

I've also been watching Chicago Justice and Nashville on Hulu, since I wrapped up the current seasons of Heartland & Blue Bloods!

FOUR

Have you checked out last Saturday's post?

It was my Summer Book Review & I shared the four books I've been reading since my Spring Book Review and I really liked all of them, for different reasons.

I can't wait to finish the one I'm currently reading and I just ordered this one from Amazon.

FIVE

Did you know that walking is actually more effective at burning fat than running?

That's good news for me because as it gets cooler outside here in Alabama (the past two days have felt like pre-Fall & I'm so excited!) I'm going to start walking at our park and in our neighborhood again.

SIX

After taking a many-month-long hiatus from the Target Beauty Box I finally picked up the August edition because I was planning on purchasing the deodorant that comes in it anyway for $4 and the box was only $7.

I have loved getting these in the past & I highly suggest picking this one up-it looks like it's got a lot of great goodies inside!

EIGHT

Emily just wrote a great post on Creative Ways to Save Money for Travel and I absolutely love her ideas, especially since we're getting into the cooler months, which is my favorite time of the year to travel!

NINE

I was really, really bad with my June Goals and I never even attempted a July Goals...so I'm thinking I really need to start fresh with an August Goal list for this Saturday's post...what do y'all think?

The things I did accomplish for my June Goals?

-I did work on a Shutterfly book, but I want it to be perfect & not rushed, so I'm taking my time working on it.

-I did increase my instagram following, but I'm not quite at 950 yet! 

-I did enjoy my birthday month & celebrating birthdays for my mom & sister, and Father's Day with my daddy as well!

TEN

One of my parent's sweet neighbors brought them a sack of home-grown peaches & y'all best bet that I brought some of those babies home with me.

I had one last night & they are the juiciest, sweetest peaches-I'm obsessed & think they would be amazing in some ice cream!

Well that's all for this week-hope you enjoyed!

Let me know below what you're up to this week :)

Until next time. . .
