Monday Muse (15)

Hey fam! Happy Monday! Or something - are Mondays ever really happy? Let's change that! Today I'm sharing another Monday Muse post, which features my hobbies other than reading.

I can't believe it's 2019 already! This is my first Monday Muse post of 2019. It has been a busy couple of weeks already!

I've bought my new Johanna Basford planner! It's for September 2018 to December 2019, so I have a few months of 2018 to color. I've not started coloring yet, but I'm excited about it!

In book news, I'm excited to tell you all that I'm not participating in a Goodreads challenge this year. Exciting, right? Surprising is more like it. I failed dismally in 2018 and I don't think my results will be much better this year. So I'm not going to be joining the 2019 reading challenge. Whomp whomp!

Somewhat book-related - from the holidays - my #TBTBSanta gift! There's a little bit of everything that I love. It's perfect - thank you, Tzivi!

In photography news, I've been getting really into photography. I especially love taking photos on sunrises. Typically I'll reach work just as the sun is rising, so it's a perfect time to take some photos before starting my work day. Here are some from this past week:

What's cool is that Udemy was having a sale - $9.99 for many classes - so I just signed up for a Photography Masterclass one! I haven't started taking the classes yet, but I'm excited. I can't wait to expand my knowledge in photography!

In fact, I bought some lenses for my phone - yes, you can get lenses to adjust the angle of your phone's camera! Check out a fisheye view:

(It's not my best shot, but I'm working on it!)

I'll leave you all by telling you that I'm currently in Florida! I scheduled this post ahead of time. I'll be back tomorrow. On my next Monday Muse post, I will post some photos of lovely southwest Florida. But if you want to follow my trip, check out my personal Instagram, @alyssasadventuresinwonderland!
