I’m a bit late to the party on this one, but I’ve been recently exploring the power of visualization, manifesting, and the law of attraction. Before you roll your eyes and close the tab, stick with me a minute.
I’ve long had my doubts that visualizing something you want could help actually bring it into existence, but a recent two-part podcast series made me reconsider my assumptions. Or at least give it a try.
Spring is still technically over a month away, but I’m already starting to feel the spring cleaning/home improvement urges sneaking in.
This weekend, I decided to tackle a project I’ve been putting off for years: replacing window screens.
Nothing about the project is particularly hard, I just didn’t want to do it. But after staring at ripped up screens day after day, I realized it was time. Now, I wish I had done it sooner!
After the extremely slow month of December, I feel my reading is off to a strong start in 2022!
I read 7 books this month, though to be fair, two were very short (like read in one sitting kind of short):
-Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
-Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw
-For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing
-This Year You Write Your Novel by Walter Mosley
-Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
-How Not To Diet by Michael Greger, M.D., FACLM
-Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner
As you can see, genres ranged from fantasy to psychological thriller to health & nutrition.
Let’s get into those reviews!
It feels like we just celebrated the new year, but somehow, we’re already nearing the end of January?! It’s bizarre, because I remember last January feeling like it stretched on forever. Time is weird.
While the end of January typically marks the end of people’s new year’s resolutions (some of mine included), I’m hoping a fresh surge of inspiration will help keep the momentum alive. For me, that usually involves sitting down with a book related to the goal I’m trying to accomplish. Whether your goal is related to fitness or creativity, I hope these books will help you as much as they’ve helped me!
So, you know how dermatologists say you should NEVER pop your own pimples or pick at other bumps on your skin?
Yeah.. that’s easier said than not done.
But for 2022, I’m making it a goal to establish some healthier skincare habits, which includes trying to leave my skin alone (for the most part!). As part of that goal, I’ve been trying out the Pure Daily Care NanoSteamer available on Amazon. In this blog post, I’ll be sharing my experience using a facial steamer for the first time and my thoughts on whether it’s worth the $49.95 price tag.
I’m having a hard time believing it, but my book journal is telling me it’s true- I read 72 books in 2021!!
While I don’t view reading as a competition, I was excited to see that I read more books in 2021 than in 2020: 72 books vs. 65 books. This was especially surprising after my sloooww month of reading in December.
This is my second year of actively tracking my reading, so it’s exciting to be able to compare the numbers and reflect on my favorite books of the year. Hopefully, you enjoy them too!
Between the holidays, traveling, birthdays, and more, this month has been absolutely hectic- though mostly in a good way! I hope you’ve been staying safe amid Omicron and enjoying this time with loved ones.
That said, this all has led to a slooowww month of reading for me with only two books making the list this month:
-Before and After the Book Deal
-Creative Calling
Let’s get into the reviews!
Well, it’s that time of the year again. Gift guides are ALL over social media, so I’ve decided to join in on the fun with a focus on our furry friends.
In this post, I’m sharing three things my cats are obsessed with and I hope yours will be too!
This time of year is always so hectic- mostly in a good way though! The holiday season has arrived and so have parties, trips, family time, and more. This also meant a slower month of reading, but I did still manage to squeeze in five books.
It was definitely a fiction kind of month with a mix of romance, horror, and fantasy:
-The Shining
-Blood of Elves
-Chasing the Boogeyman
-Dial A for Aunties
-I Let You Go
Let’s get into those reviews!
I did it!
I survived 13.1 miles– something I could have never imagined doing just a few years ago.
It wasn’t pretty or easy (thinking of you, side cramp at mile 12), but I pulled through and couldn’t be more proud of myself! Now that it’s all over and I’ve had a few days to recover, I’ve come away with three key lessons.
