Dear Gilmore Girls theme song,

I enjoy you and sing along frequently, but must you be so much louder than the rest of the show?! Quit yellin' at me, Carole King. You're better than this.


Dear $5 movie bin at Wal*Mart,

Thank you for helping this college student fill the gaps in her movie collection without breaking the bank. You're worth the extra few minutes of fishing through the scary movies with creepy covers. My most recent finds include The Intern, Skyfall, and The Vow. Blessings.


Dear family vacation,

GET HERE SOONER!! (I'm sorry I yelled. Just incredibly excited over here.)


Dear Everything, Everything,

My gosh you were a pleasant surprise. You're just the sweetest movie! Thank you for not breaking my heart with a tragic ending like I worried you would--I really appreciate it. Can't wait to buy you on DVD! (Your soundtrack is stellar, too.)


Dear Garth Brooks,

I understand you're a legend, but why can't your music be on Spotify?! You and Trisha are worth about a gajillion dollars at this point, so please please please let me listen to your amazing songs for $5 a month on Premium. I just don't think it's too much to ask. 

Love,
Meagan

"MORE PERFECT" PODCAST BY RADIOLAB

I geeked out while listening to this podcast every time I was cleaning the house or driving my car--I got through it so quickly. This series, a spin off from Radio Lab, examines landmark Supreme Court cases through the years and how they came to be so influential. Though there are only six episodes, they really delve deep into the before, during, and after of each case and how they've affected the law ever since. I learned so much!

GIMME ALL THE DRESSES

The summer heat is here & my favorite way to stay cool but chic is to wear a dress (or skirt). One piece and you're done! As my girl Ina Garten would say, "how easy is that?" I loved this blue scalloped shirtdress from Banana Republic so much that when it went on sale I got it in white, too! The quality is incredible, it can be dressed up or down, and it has pockets. Need I say more?! I wore it most recently for Father's Day (see right). I wear dresses on the daily either with sneakers or wedges, depending on my mood. It's easy breezy yet I still feel put together. Now that's a fashion motto I can support!

AUDIOBOOKS VIA OVERDRIVE APP

I've shown my inner nerd excitement about my library card on the blog before, and this is just an extension of that. Enter: the Overdrive App. It's the app associated with public libraries where you can download and access music or audiobooks that you've checked out! It's easy to use and I most recently listened to The Magnolia Story by Chip and Joanna Gaines and 

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain. I certainly recommend both.
