Monthly Favorites | September 2019

Hello friends!

September was a very tech-heavy, busy month for me!  I have a ton of new favorites to share with you all – plus, my biggest accomplishment to date of starting my own Podcast!  I also heard some great music & watched some exciting videos; hopefully you all enjoy like I did!

Podcasts:

What's New Around the Barn

What’s New Around the Barn?: Obviously one of my favorites for September is the brand new Podcast that I launched!  It’s a horsey podcast and the first episode is all about me and my horse experiences.  I’m beyond proud of this Podcast so I’m going to talk about it for basically the rest of my life!

“Horse Stories with Our Listeners Part 2, Sept. 25, 2019 by Horseloverz” Horses in the Morning: Not only did I launch my first podcast episode, I was also on one of my absolute favorite podcasts as a guest – Horses in the Morning! I got to share my experiences and play a little game with Jamie and Glenn and couldn’t have had a better time!

I Have a Second Website – Plus a Podcast!

Hello friends!

You might have noticed that I’ve been a little less active than normal these past few months – part of that was the fact that I moved, but I have a much more exciting reason for being a little MIA.

I started a Podcast!

What's New Around the Barn

I have dreamed of starting a Podcast for years, but I’d never really known what a good topic would be.  Well, since I’ve gotten back into horses lately I thought I could share what that experience has been like!

I totally get that horses aren’t really everyone’s cup of tea, but I’m so passionate and in love with everything surrounding them that I had to share!  I’m really hoping that you’ll give it a try and see what you think; stop by my website for more information on the Podcast, as well as my social media channels. I plan on sharing each new Podcast episode, any YouTube videos that go live, and other information I think is important for horse people to know!

You can find my Podcast on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts and more by searching “What’s New Around the Barn?”.

I hope to see you there; happy listening!

Podcasts I’ve Listened to Recently | Summer 2019

Hello friends!

I have listened to yet another four podcasts, and thought I should share them with you all!  One thing that I’ve really started doing is taking horses more seriously, which is why you see some horsey podcasts on the list!  I know they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but there are some other awesome podcasts that I definitely recommend as well!

I’ve been just devouring podcasts, so these were listened to between June and July – my current podcast has a ton of episodes, so that’s definitely slowing me down (in a good way!).

Podcasts I’ve Listened to Recently | Spring 2019

Hello friends!

I’m back to share the podcasts that I’ve listened to all the way through over the Springtime!  Unlike the Winter, the podcasts I listened to this season are much more upbeat and less scary (well, most of them) so those of you who don’t like listening to crime and horror will have some options!

As always, if you have any podcasts you listen to and love, please share them with me!  I’m always on the lookout for fun new things to listen to while at work.

Monthly Favorites | May 2019

Hello friends!

I blog about beauty a lot, and that is something that I love! But did you know that I have a lot more interests than just that?  I wanted to do a roundup of not only my favorite beauty items (if I have anything specific to share!), but to have a post where I can share the things that I’ve been loving that aren’t in my typical wheelhouse.

This month is going to be a little less in depth than any other because I hadn’t decided to do this until the actual end of the month, so expect more from now on in these!

Podcasts:

Science Rules: Episode 2 “The Right Drug for the Right Bug”: I have become obsessed with listening to this podcast because Bill Nye was a big part of my childhood!  There’s only a few episodes out, but so far this one has absolutely been my favorite. It has to do with antibiotics and your microbiome (the bacteria in your body).  I always find this fascinating, and they talk about something very relevant to us today: the rise of resistant bacteria and what we can do to help prevent that!

Video Games:

Biffa Plays Indie Games: I found this channel randomly and I am in love with it!  He plays a game called Cities: Skylines which is a city simulation; basically you get to build a city and do whatever you want with it!  He has a series that he does where he fixes his viewer’s traffic, and for some reason it has me completely captivated.

Horse Isle 3: On of my favorite things to do growing up was play an online horse game called Horse Isle, and even though I’m definitely not the standard demographic, I can’t help but be so excited to be playing their newest iteration!  It’s like an open world game where you catch horses, explore, and build your ranch up while socializing with other players.

Podcasts I’ve Finished Recently | Winter 2019

Hello friends!

One thing that I absolutely love about my job is that I get to have my headphones in.  That means that I get to listen to podcasts, and I’ve worked my way through quite a few of them!  Below I’ve shared the podcasts that I’ve listened to from the first episode up until the current one.

This time there is definitely a trend of some dark podcasts – true crime and scary stories.  I promise that it won’t be that way forever!  These are just what I’ve listened to for the longest & what I’m totally caught up on.

In no particular order, here are the podcasts I’ve listened to recently!
