July proved to be another strong month of reading for me!
I didn’t break my record (looking at you, July 2020), but I managed to squeeze in seven books this month featuring a good mix of fiction and non-fiction choices:
Malibu Rising
Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable
The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba
The Rejection That Changed My Life
The Maidens
I Was Told There’d Be Cake
People We Meet on Vacation
Let’s get into those reviews!
I love the idea of acupuncture.
As someone that carries a lot of tension in my shoulders and upper back, the idea of being able to release that tension while also experiencing other physical and emotional benefits sounds incredible in theory.
But there’s a big problem… I don’t like needles.
That’s why I’ve been intrigued by the idea of acupressure mats for some time as the mats feature plastic massage nodes instead of needles. So, a few weeks ago, I finally made the plunge and bought one.
Between a recent career change and a vacation with only very limited Wi-Fi, I’ve had more time to think lately about my relationship with the internet, especially social media. I can easily waste HOURS (literally hours) just scrolling through Instagram and I know I’m not the only one.
I hope everyone is having a good summer so far! Between a vacation (finally!!) and just relaxing, I’ve been a little late in getting my June reads posted. I had a good mix going on this month with both fiction and non-fiction included.
After talking about my recent obsessions in the June 2021 round-up, I felt like the Clean & Clear Lemon Juice Toner has earned its own review blog post as it has quickly become a staple of my daily skincare routine.
In this post, I’m sharing my experience using the Clean & Clear Lemon Juice toner and the impact its had on my skin.
With summer right around the corner, I’m sharing a new round-up of my current favorite things and obsessions.
From skincare to Netflix, this latest list is all over the place (hopefully, in a good way)!
Check out it and let me know what you’re excited about ahead of this summer!
May was another weird month of reading for me.
I don’t know if I was being really picky, but I had a hard time getting into some books this month. Some of the plots felt very slow? Maybe, I was just distracted?
That said, I still managed to squeeze 5 books in:
1. Pretty Little Wife
2. Girls of Brackenhill
3. Beartown
4. The Midnight Library
5. Tell Me Lies
Let’s get into the reviews…
After last year’s complete disappointment of a summer (#thanks2020), I’m looking forward to this summer and the potential for travel!
So, when Cassey Ho of Blogilates launched a Hot Girl Summer Sculpt workout plan, I immediately signed up! (I’m completely obsessed with FREE workout content on YouTube… so it didn’t take much convincing.)
In this post, I’ll share my experience with the program and whether it’s worth the 14-day commitment.
You know the quote, “The bags under me eyes are designer”?
It’s what I think of every time I use Trader Joe’s Supreme Hydrating Eye Cream.
In this post, I’m sharing my experience and thoughts on the eye cream and whether it’s worth a repeat buy.
I feel like I was all over the place this month in terms of reading!
I read a bizarre mix of fiction and non-fiction covering a range of topics and genres.
Here’s the list:
1. House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
2. A Promised Land by Barack Obama
3. Before She Was Found by Heather Gudenkauf
4. Risk Forward by Victoria Labalme
5. The Hidden Lives of Trees by Peter Wohlleben
In this post I’m breaking down which of these NEEDS to be on your reading list ASAP.
