Pink Floral Maxi Skirt Outfit & June 2020 Month in Review
What’s New?
- I celebrated my birthday!! YAY!
- We went out of town for the first time in a longggggg time!
Health Updates:
- I just cut out wheat and so far, so good! I’ll update you in a few weeks on my progress 🙂
- I’ve also cut back drastically on sugar and sweets. The only sugar I’ve had is from juice.
What I Watched
TV/Streaming/Movies
I hardly ever watch TV but we’ve been watching shows/movies nearly every night since lockdown so there’s a lot haha!
- The Simple Life – Finished the first four seasons! Died laughing during ever episode hah! First time watching.
- Meet the Parents
- Accepted
- The Office – We watch this when we don’t feel like watching anything else lol!
- Clueless – a classic!
- Walk Hard – soooo funny!
- The Money Pit – my first time watching! I liked it!
- The Hills – I forgot how much I loved this show! I don’t normally watch reality shows or things that are overly dramatic but this is the exception 😉 Finished all 4 seasons lol!
- The Hills: New Beginnings – We watched the first 3 episodes and then the MTV app locked us out… just when it was getting good! Apparently, you have to have cable in order to view the rest, which we don’t.. but doesn’t having cable defeat the purpose of watching on the app?
- The Hunt – pretty good!
- Community
- Fools Rush In – my first time watching! Such a sweet movie!
- Knives Out – really enjoyed this one! It reminds me of Clue
- Charlie St. Cloud
- Instant Family – loved this one!
- Brittany Runs a Marathon – good movie about self-love <3
What I Listened To
Music
- Blinding Lights by the Weeknd is my jam! Hahah!
Where I Went
- Hiking in Sequoia! <3

Annual Goals Check In
You can find all of my 2020 goals here!
- Prioritize Health & Wellness – It seems like these days there’s always something going on in this arena but little by little, I’m discovering what works for my body and what doesn’t. For a while, ridding my body of problematic foods helped and I started to lose weight. Recently, the issues showed up again so I’m currently going through another elimination diet. Things are going well so far but with so many food restrictions, it can be frustrating sometimes. My husband and I can no longer eat the same foods so we end up making two versions of the same thing every single day. Luckily, I’ve found some great alternatives to my favorite foods like cheese, ranch, pasta sauce and most recently, tortellini so that’s certainly helped. And now I’m finally used to the taste of the alternatives and find myself quite enjoying them. However, I feel like I don’t have much of a variety. I’m constantly eating the same things to be “safe.” I’m so scared to try new things out of fear of getting sick. Another issue is being deficient in a lot of things. In many cases, I’ve had to completely eliminate full food groups so there have been issues presented with that. Some of my replacements do have the necessary nutrients but others don’t so I’m trying to navigate that. With the gyms being closed and my outdoor allergies at full-time high, I’ve been uninspired to workout. I hope that this is the month where I finally feel up to the task 🙂
- Be More Creative – A week ago, I took an entire day off just to think… and dream. I’ve been talking about making some changes on the blog and I made a plan.I’m so excited to be implement more creative processes into my content and start thinking outside the box a bit. More on that later <3
What I’m Looking Forward to in July
- My husband’s birthday!
- Hopefully, a cross-country roundtrip (fingers crossed!)
Hope you loved my June 2020 month in review!
What did you do in June?

Also, here is yesterday’s video – a highly requested mini closet tour and wardrobe declutter (along with tips for cleaning out your own closet). I cleaned my entire closet space – two closets and my cloffice lol! You guys have been asking me to share my closet for YEARS and I finally did it lol! Sorry it took so long 😉 I hope you enjoy getting a peek into my wardrobe! I will be sure to share more of this in the near future! On Monday, I’ll be sharing tips on here so be on the lookout! <3

Last week’s most clicked look was…
I love all the colors! The sleeves on the top are so fun too! Perfect for summer!

It’s great you were able to get out again! When things were relaxed here just getting to travel, even just the 50ks from our house, and meet family in person again was so good! 🙂 Life is pretty much back to normal now as the kids are back at school, except we are still working from home.
Thanks for the link up!
Hope you are having a lovely week! 🙂
Away From Blue
Aw that’s so great to hear! It was really nice to get out and I’m glad we did because our state is going back into lockdown 🙁 Can’t for things to go back to normal! Hope you are enjoying working from home though! It sure is different 🙂 Enjoy your week!
Thank you Shelbee! It was different but a nice day 🙂 I really liked Knives Out! We just started the new Unsolved Mysteries. I’ll have to check out Normal People! Have a great weekend!
I watched Knives Out this weekend and it was so good! I really enjoyed it. I finished Normal People and also just first season 1 of The Great. That was an amazing show! Have you seen that one yet?
Shelbee
I love Sequoia so that was a great place to go outside for sure. I hope you can get these food issues figures out soon. So sorry that it’s been frustrating. Thanks so much for the link up Liz!

It was so beautiful too! I was afraid we missed the wildflowers this year but they had plenty! Me too. I’m just taking it day by day 🙂
Share the tortellini!!! I cried during Instant Family! Knives Out is also really good. I reintroduced whole wheat pita and it made my stomach hurt. I might try again in the future since when I first reintroduced tomatoes and onion I couldn’t do it but when I tried again months later, I was fine.

Ooo Yes! I should actually write a post with all of my alternatives 🙂 I found the tortellini by mistake lol! It’s from a brand called Kite Hill and I got it at sprouts. So delicious! Oh wow, it’s so crazy how our bodies work. Fingers crossed for you! Instant Family was definitely a tearjerker!
I hope you had a lovely birthday Lizzie. I am in love with that skirt, the print and pleats are just beautiful xx

That’s great to hear!! I’m glad you’re feeling better 🙂 Of course! Your outfit is perfect! You too, Kellyann!

I love the fashion in Clueless! We just watched Knives Out and enjoyed it too! I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Will be looking at your video later today – I can’t wait to see your closet tour!
Jill – Doused in Pink
Isn’t it just the cutest! Thank you so much Jill! I hope you enjoy!
Oh I love Kite Hill!! I thought that contained gluten though? I remember looking at it once and there was something I couldn’t eat in it.
Loved the post LIzzie and Happy belated birthday! Glad you were able to get out of town and hope you have a wonderful July!
Thanks so much Grace! Great to hear from you 🙂 Enjoy your holiday weekend!
Knives Out was a great one! My hubby and I both loved it! Brittany Runs a Marathon and Instant Family were both really cute too!
I’m actually allergic to wheat! It took me so long to figure out what was wrong but once I cut that out, it was a total gamechanger. Good luck! And haha I said the exact same thing about Knives Out in my June round-up post – just like Clue!
Miles of smiles,

Oh my gosh, so crazy! I can definitely tell a difference so far! I can’t believe how many things include wheat! Yes, such a fun movie!!
It’s my first time trying any of their products – so far, I’m a fan 🙂 Not sure if it does but you’re probably right. Surprisingly, I’m not intolerant to gluten lol! Wild, right?
Didn’t you give up wheat though?
First, I love your video! The music is the best too! You have beautiful dresses and clothes and I know it take some cleaning out, I did that when we were first on lookdown. Happy Birthday! How nice you went out too. We jsut went out for the first time with my mom , last week.
Hope youhad a great 4th!

Thank you so much Jess! I love clothes and music so much so this video was a great match! I hope that you had an amazing 4th as well!
Happy birthday! Hope it was a good one! Good for you on getting your closet cleaned out, I need to do the same. And even better on cutting back on sugar! I keep thinking I’ll get back on track, but then, ice cream.
What a great June! I’m sorry you’re still having health problems. Hopefully you’ll figure out what’s going on soon!
Thank you so much Greta! I hope so too!
Omg my husband has been obsessed with listening to Blinding Lights too!

It’s so great!
Hope you enjoyed your birthday! Looks like the month is going good. These periodic check-ins are great for staying on track, love it! xoxo, Sarah
Thank you so much Sarah! I had a great birthday! Yes! I am so glad that you are enjoying my check in, and they do help me stay on track!
It is so hard for me to cut out wheat permanently (it’s literally in everything) but I feel so much better when I do so I’ve been trying to do that consistently too. Keep me posted on how you feel!
Clueless is one of my favourite movies. It really is a classic. Cher is my favourite character love her fashion sense. The Simple Life is very funny and I have seen all the seasons as well.. couldn’t stop laughing. The Hills was my favourite show growing up and it still remains a classic today to me. That and the spin off with Whitney Port in The City. Love your post it was so inspiring and fun to read 🙂 http://www.bauchlefashion.com/2020/06/reworking-classic-denim.html?m=1
It really is a classic! I just love it! Her fashion sense is the best – I totally want that rotating closet lol! I can’t believe I waited until now to watch it. I laughed so much!! Definitely need to start The City. Thank you so much Heather!
