| Some of the highlight favorites from August 2024. |
Favorite Music: Up All Night by James Bay ft. The Lumineers & Noah Kahan- this was one of the most coolest collabs I've heard in a minute and it's catchy, too! I'll link it- https://youtu.be/SZibRnf5ZSE?si=iVd8GizxUdq8eiWV
Favorite Coffee and / or Tea (the brand Punk Bunny Coffee is a coffee branded founded by the rock band Green Day and the fact they do coffee is really cool- they offer two other coffees on their website you can check out too- both coffees featured are excellent if you make your own at-home cold brew coffee- I can attest to that theory):
- Punk Bunny brand Last Ride In Ground Coffee- the name is synonymous with a track from their 1997 record Nimrod however this coffee is smooth and has a surprise citrus hint that makes the coffee enjoyable to drink. It's a medium-dark roast coffee if you were curious. I'll link it-https://www.punkbunnycoffee.com/products/last-ride-in
- Punk Bunny brand Soundcheck Ground Coffee- this coffee is so bold and so smooth for a dark roast. This one definitely I'll keep (hopefully) in my coffee rotation. I'll link it-https://www.punkbunnycoffee.com/products/medium-dark-roast
Favorite Book(s) I've Read:
The Wedding People by Alison Espach (my August 2024 Book of the Month pick): This was a book of self-discovery, humor, and picked up all of the summer vibes within the book.
