Good Morning!
It’s the last Wednesday of the month, so that means it’s time for Bliss!! I had some crazy things happen over the past week or so that I’ll discuss in more detail tomorrow, but one of those things will be about my phone dying… legit dead, no phone, for a week & a half because my contract is up next week! I had been taking pictures throughout the month for my Bliss post, but those are no longer available to me at the moment. Hopefully they can be recovered when I upgrade next week so I can share some of those for Bliss next month, but for now I’ll make do with what I have.
You may be asking, What is Bliss? Bliss is a link-up that me and one of my all time favorite bloggers co-hosts. You come on the last Wednesday of the month to share your favorite things from that month – these can be products, people, moments, other bloggers or blog posts, basically anything that brought you Bliss this month! You can share one thing, you can share a thousand things (although, that’s probably unlikely), but whatever it is – we want to hear about it! See what has brought me Bliss this month and link-up with us below!
I recently tried a new recipe for Raw Apple Crisp. I got it from Whole Foods and fell in love! I followed the recipe exactly for the first time, but now that I know how easy it is and how many variations I could probably try, I’m excited to test out some different nuts & spices to change things up. I’ll be making a lot of raw apple crisp for the fall, that’s for sure!
- Passing my Series 6 Test
I get really stressed out when I take tests and I was so nervous about taking the Series 6 test for work, but thankfully I passed it!! It was definitely a highlight of my month! I’ll be taking the next test, the Series 63, on Friday. I haven’t had as much time to study due to the current events going on in my life (that I’ll explain in more detail tomorrow), but hopefully I can pass the 63 also. This will get me investment licensed in the state of Mississippi. I’m so thankful for the people who encouraged me, helped me study, & prayed for me. Nick’s sister-in-law, Kathryn, sent me some awesome encouraging pictures the week leading up to the test and if I had a working phone, I’d share some of those with you right now.
This has been the greatest savings account! Your typical savings account will get .01% interest, a Capital One 360 Savings, get’s .75% interest. It’s easy to transfer and it doesn’t cost any money. I’ve been extremely pleased with it this past year and I’m thinking about opening a 360 checking account as well. (Disclaimer: I do not get paid to mention Capital One 360 Savings, but if you sign up for an account, I’ll receive $20 and then you’ll have your own referral code to receive $20 with when you refer a friend, family member, or even another blogger!) Capital One constantly has promotions for their members to earn bonuses & rewards. I’ve been very impressed!
- Big Brother
I have loved this season of Big Brother and I’ve been keeping up with it all summer! The season premier is tonight and I’m excited to see who wins. My money is on Derek, he’s played an incredible game! Victoria… oh Victoria…. how in the world did you survive this long? I can assure you it’s not due to your endurance or brains. Victoria thinks that she has played this house so well to get as far as she has, but the truth is… everyone can beat her, so why dispose of someone you know you can beat in the end? I hope I get the chance to play Big Brother one day! This has been a fun season to watch. I loved seeing Jeff & Jordan get engaged too, they are my favorite players from seasons past! I hope Nicole wins Fan Favorite, she’s been my favorite this season.
