What do I like about June? Well, for sure, I like the sunny weather. And the second thing I like about June is the flowers blooming in our yard.
Before this year, I didn’t pay much attention to the plants we have. But staying home in the past few months gave me the opportunity to appreciate the pleasant view we have. When I need a mini-break from doing whatever I am working on, I’ll walk to the backyard and look at the roses, peonies, and water lily. It’s amazing to see their transformation from tiny buds to fully bloomed colorful flowers.
Below are five of the many things I am doing in June.
New Nails
The salons in our area are now open. Although I miss my beautiful gel nails, I still prefer to staying home to be safe. So I did my own nails again.
I used bright pink nail polish as the base color. I put blue and pink glitters on most of my fingers. On my ring finger I used gold glitters just for fun. Overall, I am actually very happy with my own work.

Cooking
I love to eat any kind of pasta. I’ve been craving for spaghetti carbonara and found the recipe online. I was surprised at how easy it was to make it from scratch. All I needed was the garlic, bacon, Parmesan cheese, egg, and spaghetti.

New Toy
I haven’t played piano for a long time. I learned how to play piano when I was a child and I quit when I was 13 year old. In the past year, I was contemplating on the idea of getting a piano and playing again. But I was afraid that I might not be able to remember how to play the piano. I finally bought the piano and have been playing it everyday.

Beauty Products
I really enjoy using Charlotte Tilbury’s beauty products. For June, I am going to try her Goddess Cleansing Ritual cleaning products to see if it does really hydrate, clean, and give my skin radiant-looking complexion. As always, I know I will have fun trying new products.

Reading Material
I always enjoy reading biography. I find it interesting to read other people’s life story, how they get to where they are today, and how they overcome the obstacles in their life and the lessons they learned along the way.
The new book I am reading is called “The Ride of A Lifetime”, by Robert Iger, the Chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company. I am only on the first chapter of the book and I am already looking forward to reading the rest.
