To stay up to date with this series, make sure to follow the On My iPhone tag!

To be completely honest, I look forward to putting together this post, each and every month! I love giving you my recommendations for digital content, while also sharing with you my online favorites in such a format! August has been a hot month, and I have to say, I am so looking forward to fall being here already. Summer is nice, don’t get me wrong, but when you’re no longer in school, it sometimes feels meaningless. I am a grown up now and I can go on vacation whenever I want! I’m not on anyone else’s schedule, thank heavens! But the end of August always makes me miss going back to school, whether or not you agree, I believe it was one of the best times of my life, although at the time I would have said otherwise! So, for me, August is like a transition month between summer fun and buckling down, a mix between trying to enjoy what’s left and looking forward to the future. I’ve been doing a lot of that this month, and perhaps, in some way, that’s reflected in the items I am about to share!

Currently Playing, Splode: Splode has been one of my favorite iPhone/iPad games for a while now, but one that I often forget about when I am downloading the latest and greatest! I rediscovered it this month while doing some much needed organization in a few different areas of my life! It’s a quiet, calming game that reminds me of summer and always manages to put me in a good mood! And for only a buck, it’s worth a try!

Currently Reading, A Course in Miracles: What can I say about this book that would even do it justice? I know its not a read for everyone, although I do believe that everyone would benefit from reading it. Its a book about spiritual awakening and reaching your fullest potential, which is exactly what I am going for these days! If you are into new age philosophy, this is a must read, or if you are just a lost soul trying to make the best of your life, this may be worth the download!

Currently Watching, DigitalRev TV: Ever since I bought my new Canon DSLR, I have been an absolute photography junkie! In my quest to learn as much as I could about my camera and its functions, i came across this awesome, and very popular photography channel on YouTube and I have been laughing and learning ever since! If you’re a photography geek or just want to learn more about how to take better pictures, you should definitely check out some videos from these guys!

Currently Surfing, BlogLovin: My blog has been on my mind a lot this month. How to make it the best it can be, which sort of content I should be focusing on, and just the best ways to get myself and my writing out there! So, it’s important for me to make sure I am reading as many other blogs as possible! If you also use BlogLovin as your default blog reader, make sure to follow my blog as well! 

Currently Listening, Nat King Cole: True story, I finally just transferred my entire iTunes library from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Air. Yes, all 86+GB of data! Now that I have access to all my music, all I have been doing is listening to music! Especially, one of my absolute favorite jazz musicians, Nat King Cole! If you’re not familiar with that name, here is a link where you can catch up with his music. I highly suggest it as it brings me to my happy place!
