What I’m Reading, Watching, & Listening To

February 17, 2021 By Ann Marie Scheidler Leave a Comment

It’s been a different kind of busy over here in the Scheidler house since the weather has been too cold to be outside, so I thought I’d let you know what I’ve been reading, watching, and listening to in my AirPods to keep myself from going stir crazy.

What I’m Reading

A friend of mine who tends to like the same books I do suggested I pick up Oona Out of Order by Margarita Monitmore and I’m so glad she did (Thank you, Sarah!). I started reading Oona Out of Order on the plane ride home from Florida last week and I’m almost finished. In a nutshell, the main character, Oona Lockhart, is celebrating New Year’s Eve 1982 and the eve of her 19th birthday, but at midnight she passes out and wakes up as a 19-year-old trapped in the body of a 51-year-old. Thus begins Oona living life out of order—every January 1 going forward, at 12:01 a.m., she wakes up as herself in a different year of life. Each year brings its own challenges of piecing together her accomplishments, friends and lovers, and mistakes. So many times I’ve said I wish I could be 25-years-old again with my 50-year-old brain and this book is giving me a little peek into what that life could be. It’s super fun–highly recommend!

What I’m Watching

Framing Britney Spears

This unauthorized documentary–Framing Britney Spears— on her conservatorship is so compelling. To be honest, I didn’t know how a conservatorship works (in this case–a court-appointed legal guardianship under which Britney’s father, Jamie Spears, holds complete control over her assets, finances, and estate)–much less how an estranged parent could continue to execute one over his almost-40-year-old daughter. I wish this had been a six-part series because I was left with so many questions after this 75-minute show was over. However, I’ve heard that Netflix has something in the works that Britney herself may be involved in. Stay tuned!

Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy

One episode into this six-part series–Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy–and I’m in love! Award-winning actor Stanley Tucci revisits Italy, a place where he lived when he was a young boy. Filmed prior to the pandemic ravaging the world, Tucci explores all parts of Italy through its cuisine. Filmed like a movie, this series is a feast for the eyes!

What I’m Listening To

Even the Rich

I know I’ve talked about this podcast before, but I have to mention it again! Wondery’s Even the Rich is one of the smartest, best produced, pop-culture series I’ve ever listened to. On my many treadmill miles this week, they’ve covered Harry and Meghan, the Kardashians, John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, and Chappaquiddick. I have yet to listen to one where I haven’t learned something. I hope co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams keep churning out more and more episodes.

Jackie, Ethel, Joan: Women of Camelot

After listening to the Even the Rich series about Chappaquiddick, I downloaded one of the books they referenced Jackie, Ethel, Joan: Women of Camelot by J. Randy Taraborrelli. It’s a little more behind-the-scenes of the wives of the famous Kennedy men. Who knew that Ethel was the one all newcomers feared? Very fun listen.

I’d love to know how you’re keeping yourself entertained these days! Please let me know!

Happy Wednesday! With the weather being so sunny t Happy Wednesday! With the weather being so sunny this week, I really believe that summer is in sight (thank goodness!). So later today, I will be sharing my warm weather skincare routine on the blog, very similar to my winter one with a few little tweaks. But the one thing that I think has been the biggest game changer has been getting more sleep! 😴 This old lady now heads to bed about 9:30 p.m., with lights out not long after 10 p.m. These days, I'm getting about 8 hours of sleep and it's crazy how much better I feel, how much brighter my skin is, and how much clearer I can think. 💤 

How about you? How much sleep are you getting?

P.S. Cute PJs can definitely help you sleep more soundly. It's a fact! 😉 This cute set is from @printfresh and you can get 15% off with the code ANNMARIE.
Good morning and happy Monday! After eating all th Good morning and happy Monday! After eating all the things this weekend, and after eating ALL THE THINGS on spring break, I woke up feeling like my diet needs a reboot. If you're in the same boat, today on the blog I share some plans I've used in the past to get my eating back on track. Let's go!!⁣

It’s hard to believe that we’re more than a ye It’s hard to believe that we’re more than a year into the pandemic. Yet even with all of these months behind us, each new development in dealing with it–from Covid tests to getting the vaccine–takes a lot of learning. That’s why we’re so lucky to have people like Lake Forest’s Nicole Phelan in our community who just jump right in and figure things out. Today on the blog, I share the work she's been doing with some faithful volunteers to get our local seniors their vaccine appointments.⁣
⁣
I'm so excited to share this story because Nicole is one of those amazing women who sees anything being possible. She had a vision over the holidays to light her entire Meadowood neighborhood with luminaries and she did it! Nicole truly does the most selfless things with such kindness, and this got me thinking....⁣
⁣
The local school board race has been really heated, especially going into this final stretch to election day on Tuesday. At the end of the day, regardless of who you are supporting, these individuals are VOLUNTEERING to serve our community. I think it would help everyone if we assumed from the jump that we are all coming from a good place and doing the best we can--even if we don't agree. ⁣
⁣
As we head into this holy weekend of Easter, I'm reflecting on something Mother Teresa once said: "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.”⁣
⁣
Have a great weekend! ❤️
We had the best spring break! ☀️ It was short We had the best spring break! ☀️ It was short and sweet and involved absolutely no watching of the news or crazy checking of email. It was amazing!⁣
⁣
As a result, I actually finished a couple of books, watched a few new shows, and binged some podcasts. Today on the blog, I round up everything in case you're looking for something fun to do this holiday weekend. Happy Thursday!⁣
