Have you heard of Tile? It's one of those things that I thought everyone knew about, but I keep finding myself telling friends how amazing these are so I thought I should blog about it. Basically, it's just a little bluetooth chip thing that goes on you keys or in your wallet or on other things you might lose often, and when you can't find it, you just pull up the app on your phone and you can make the Tile beep so you can find it. Jason is constantly putting the car keys in weird places, in our bed, in the bathroom, etc. I'm more likely to just forget which purse I had the keys in last. Either way, problem solved.
Added bonus, say you have your keys, but you can't find your phone, just push on the Tile and it works in reverse and makes your phone beep. I can't tell you how much time these have saved me!
This isn't a paid advertisement, Tile didn't give me anything to do this post, but rather, I see it as a public service announcement :) save time and avoid having silly fights with your S.O. about who lost the keys and put a Tile on it.
: A scrappy underdog type of story about the UW crew team who won Olympic gold in front of Hitler in 1936. So much of this book takes place within walking distance of my house, I loved reading about what my neighborhood was like in the 1930's!
, which it is not. 
over this one.
is so bright and cheery. 
and it really is a miracle worker. In the evenings, you'll find me watching Netflix and de-pilling my sweaters. 
, it's kind of a brick, but I'm enjoying it. If you're looking for a good fall read, I'd point you towards a few classics that I find especially great for the autumn months: 
(Anne has a couple of great quotes about fall and the depictions of leaves and fall scenes are enough to make anyone appreciate autumn even if just for a few minutes), 
by JD Salinger is a little more accurate to how I feel in the fall- depressed and questioning God and life, but maybe not quite as much as Franny :)
and 
, yes, it's expensive compared to a loofa, but unlike a loofa it'll last for years, cleans easily and dries quickly and is great for traveling. 
for the past couple of weeks and I'm sold. I'd wanted to be a Clairsonic person, but with traveling so much, I ended up giving mine to my mom. This is a much better fit for me.

. I have to admit, this has been on my "to read" list since college, I just tend to stick with fiction, so I never got around to it. I love that it's a fairly easy read and it's incredibly encouraging to see that people, non-profits, governments, all working together can make changes in the world, both big and small.
has been the soundtrack of my life this month, I find the tempo and her voice soothing, perfect for getting me through spring cleaning. (Can't quite place her? I'm sure you've at least heard 
album.
? This is the right way to make coffee.
, the third memoir Alexandra Fuller has written her childhood in Africa. If you haven't read her books before, I recommend starting with 
.
a go, I thought they'd be a easy airplane read, I have to say, the first was OK and I felt like it just went downhill from there. Sorry if you love these books, they just weren't for me.
is another memoir that I found super interesting.
and Liane Moriaty's 
have gotten me through many a flight.
feels like it was the soundtrack to my month. Most of the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis shows in Australia were a part of a festival circuit and Kaskade usually went right before.
kept my legs looking nice in shorts.
for his birthday and it's been so much fun to travel with. I love the added excitement of the anticipation of waiting for the photo to develop and I love that I was able to take a photo of a vendor at the fish market in Manila and give it to him, so he could hang it on the wall of his stall.
I'll have to remember they are available online when I inevitably wear a hole into this one.
