MONTHLY FAVORITES | AUGUST

august favorites by Nicole Dianne | www.nicoledianne.com

The Olympics: Ohh this makes me sad to even type because I don’t want to believe they’re over for another four years. I was really invested this year… as in: makes no plans between the hours of 8pm – midnight, every night for two straight weeks, invested. I love the Olympics.

Not Another Happy Ending: This movie streams on Netflix and though it’s not my all-time favorite movie, it’s a super cute watch if you’re in the mood for a light-hearted film!

    Weekend Links .03

    cabo-san-lucas-photo_0020

    You guys, THE WEATHER! The weather in Sacramento has finally started cooling down and it’s all I can do to keep from wrapping my self up in a scarf and buying a pumpkin. I’m read–eeee for Autumn. The cool mornings, mild afternoons and cool evenings are everything to me. These are fun things I found on the internet this week:

    I started listening to Amy Schumer’s new book on Audible and it’s probably the funniest thing I’ve ever listened to. It’s certainly not for everyone, but if you’re into her humor you’ll be into her book.
    I think we should ALL use these while traveling to normalize them.
    I want all of these pots.
    Police hand out ice cream instead of tickets on hot day.
    I could look at these home renovation before and afters all day long!

      Weekend Links .02

      Another week in the books, guys. Women’s beach volleyball is over and women’s gymnastics is over and now there’s an Olympic shaped hole in my heart…but we move on. This weekend I’ll be assisting my sweet friend at a wedding, celebrating my other sweet friend’s birthday and doing our weekly grocery trip. So that my friends is what you call an exceptionally normal weekend with exceptionally normal humans. I wish you an exceptionally normal and perhaps exciting weekend as well. Links for you to enjoy, below.

        Three books that every creative entrepreneur needs to read!

        books-for-creatives-1

        A couple of years ago, when my YouTube obsession was just getting started, I remember hearing Shay Carl say that he reads books because “Successful people read books,” and he wanted to be successful. That may or may not have been his exact quote, but the lesson remains the same. To be successful, you must first learn from others. Well, it’s really no secret around here that I love to read which makes it a bit easier for me to take Shay’s advice. I make it a priority to sit down and read every single day, whether it’s 10 minutes or an entire hour (if I’m lucky), it’s something that I believe in. Over the last couple of years I’ve come across three incredible books that I think every creative entrepreneur needs to read.

        Growing up I remember both of my grandmothers decorating their homes with beautiful Persian and Oriental rugs, all of which are still there today. Because of this, these types of rugs feel both nostalgic and classic to me. I love the juxtaposition of a vintage rug paired with modern finishings in a home. I feel like it really screams, “I have my life together with this sophisticated yet relevant taste in home furnishings.” The only drawback is these vintage rugs sometimes come with a high price tag. So, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite, online vintage rug shops that I’m hoping to make a purchase from in the coming months!
