Another month bites the dust. Dum-dum-dum. I'm very late posting this for many reasons. One, you guys already know, I was pretty sick for the last half of September and the first few days of October. I wanted to focus--instead--on posting reviews, blitz stuff, etc. September was mostly dedicated to this and going out with friends. Also, drooling over new makeup--in particular, Fenty Beauty. Which is kind of slaying the entire beauty game right now.

Two, I've been revamping the blog as a whole. That means, all of my past roundups for Instagram have been changed. ALL OF THEM. I've been very bored with my general look and oddly motivated to just change ALL THE THINGS. Which is good and bad. Good, because change is--gulp--fun. Bad, because it's kind of eating up my time but eh, what can you do? I'll include the links to past roundups under the cut. The downside to changing it all and making new posts (the old format was just too much to mess with) is I lost all those pretty comments you guys left me.

*Sniffles* Not that there was a lot to begin with. And not that that's tragic. I'm mostly just teasing. I am that boring. Which, you know what, who cares? I don't. You don't. We all good. I'm rambling again. That does tend to happen, doesn't it? Me, rambling? Whatever--point is, I CHANGED STUFF. And without further ado... let's look at my Instagram archives of September 2017.

*As always, I do not include images that are not square in dimensions for my roundups. I'd get too annoyed with format. You can find me here on Instagram. 

WOW! What a busy and fun month August was. Not only was it filled with Becca's visit, I also spent a great deal of time out and about--visiting comic shops, trying a donut that became the first donut I ever liked, attending my first soccer game, and other mundane (but fun) tasks. I really found myself happy--strangely enough--this August and while there were some massive downs here and there, it was still a great month.

Also, I recently became addicted to MTV's Laguna Beach-esque "reality" show Siesta Key. But, I won't admit that out-loud.

Just kidding. I totally will. What even is shame?

*As always, images posted in roundup are only square dimensions. You can find me on Instagram here. 

July is typically reserved for the red, white and blue here in the states. I like to refer to it as "That month where my hillbilly neighbors are always loud, drunk and blowing off fireworks" aka the number one most stressful months for my dogs. I was pretty much over the month before it even began and spent most of it comforting one of my dogs, who is positively terrified of fireworks.

A lot o this month was dedicated to library books and me cleaning the entire house, as the month came to a close. Just a few weeks to prepare for Becca's week long visit, after all! I also out of the blue decided to rewatch The Hills. What better way to blow off steam in the summer months than watch reality television of the past?

*As always, images posted in roundups are square dimensions only. You can find me here on Instagram. 

Honestly, I don't know what it is about June but it makes me so nostalgic. I think it's all the summer air that makes me think of middle and high school. Regardless, I get more than a little nostalgic in the month of June. Sometimes, places and settings and seasons and songs and books make you remember the past. As a whole, I must have a lot of good and bad memories associated with the start of summer. Who knows. June was a hit or miss month for me when it came to book photography (or photography in general) but I did start going to the library more (for the first time since high school) and had an old friend of mine drop in for the first time in almost a decade.

March is kind of--always--one of my busiest months of the year. Mostly because it's *the* birthday month of most of the people in my life (the runner-up is November) but especially because it's the birth month of my best friend and my father. I took a lot of photos this year as per usual but as you will no doubt be able to tell, it's not nearly as much as I did every other month of the last six or so. That being said, if you don't follow me on Instagram you can find me here.

*Yes, yes, if you're a longtime reader of my roundups you know this: I don't post any images to my roundup that aren't square in dimensions. Or videos.

February, also known as MY BIRTHDAY MONTH (February 15th) was full of makeup, literature and a hell of a lot of thrifting. Actually, come to think of it, that's an ordinary day in the life all year 'round. Well we'll just pretend that it was special or unique, won't we? If you don't already follow me on Instagram, you can find me here.

*As always, I do not post any of the images that are vertical/not squares. I also recently started to do more videos. I don't post those in roundups, either. 

I have to be honest: I went TOTALLY OVERBOARD with my Instagram in January. It's actually bonkers how much I posted. Which is why I'm keeping this introduction short. If you don't follow me on Instagram already, you can find me here.

*I only post square images to make the format even when I posted my roundups.

How the hell is it 2017 already?! I can't even begin to comprehend it. As far as final months of the year goes, December was pretty--ah--rockin'! And not just around the Christmas tree. From great books, to warm drinks, to snow, to various literature adaptations, and surrounding myself in friends and family, December was stunning. Minus the whole end-of-the-year cold, thing. Yarf. Overall, I had a great month and am--shockingly--looking forward to 2017.

If you don't follow me on Instagram, you can view my page here. I mostly post bookish related stuff because, well, nerd. But it is my personal account, too, so it's not an exclusive thing.

*In my roundups, I only post images that are squared/even because I'm picky like that.

Just like that, November has come and gone! What a month, though, what a month. I'll let my pictures tell the story--because really, what else can you do when you're rounding up your Instagram posts for the month? For those of you who don't already follow me on Instagram, I mostly post bookish stuff, and plants if I'm feeling ambitious, you can find me here.

*I only add my square images to my roundups to keep the format even. I'm so picky. 

That awkward moment when you blink and the month is literally over. October was a busy one for me! Aside from general autumn hijinks (i.e. Halloween) I was quite active over on Instagram. Here are my favourite posts I uploaded in October 2016. If you don't already follow me on Instagram, you can click here to view my page.

*I'm only including the images that are square in dimension because I'll get too annoyed with it being uneven.
