Life Lately August 2025

Welcome back to Life Lately, the August edition! I am excited to recap what I’ve been up to in July and share my plans for August 2025 and life behind the scenes.

As August 2025 unfolds, I’m making the most of the season with a few last-minute summer travel plans before transitioning into a more grounded fall routine. This month, I’m exploring Pittsburgh and focusing on slow travel and meaningful experiences. With cooler weather on the horizon, I’m also starting to prep for fall—refreshing my routines, planning cozy weekends, and setting intentional goals for the rest of the year. Whether it’s soaking up late-summer sunshine or getting organized for the autumn season ahead, August is all about balance, renewal, and thoughtful planning.

Currently Eating

My meals are all about fresh, seasonal flavors and light, nourishing ingredients. I’m currently enjoying summer staples like grilled vegetables, juicy peaches, garden-fresh tomatoes, and easy salads with protein-packed grains like quinoa and farro. Cold smoothies, watermelon slices, and malted milkshakes have been daily go-tos to beat the heat. Eating in tune with the season helps me stay refreshed and balanced as I ease into late summer and start thinking about fall meal prep.

Currently Watching

My TV lineup is a mix of late-summer favorites and new streaming releases that are keeping things exciting. I’m currently watching Sullivan’s Crossing and The Hunting Wives. With fall premieres just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to binge-watch some must-see shows and revisit comfort series before the new season drops.

I also cannot wait for Freakier Friday to come out, it’s such a classic early 2000s movie that brings back so much nostalgia. My favorite scene is when Jamie Lee Curtis goes through the makeover phase with What I Like About You playing in the background. I will most definitely be picking up my volvo and speeding through traffic to see Freakier Friday in theaters!

Life Behind the Scenes

Behind the blog in August 2025, life is all about balancing creativity with intention. While I’m sharing seasonal content—from travel tips to late-summer recipes—my days are also filled with quiet mornings, content planning sessions, and lots of behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything running smoothly. This month, I’m focused on refining my workflow and staying inspired by everyday moments. Life lately feels like a blend of hustle and calm, and I’m using this end-of-summer window to reset, refocus, and gear up for a productive fall season ahead.

You’ll also notice the blog got a new facelift, this is a project I have been putting off for several months. The website is more user friendly and easier to navigate!

Nala

Nala’s birthday was last month! To mark the occasion, I planned a fun-filled day complete with her favorite treats, a long walk at her favorite park, and a cozy birthday photoshoot. Nala has brought so much joy, loyalty, and love into my life. Sharing her birthday is a reminder of the little moments that mean the most.
