Wednesday November 4th, 2020


I can without a doubt share that I've been practicing this consistently so far this week. Joined a gym for my health, hoping it betters both my body and the way I view my body overall. I took a bubble bath this week with a charcoal mask, two candles and a good book! I even indulged in using my newly purchased body scrubs! My recent choice in facewash has even cleared up my skin (thank you, work and KN95 masks).

This evening my S/O helped with hanging the last physical influence of my recently passed Grammy within my office. This beautiful wooden shelf, equipped with hooks and a carved out heart shape, hangs just above my middle bookshelf. It's now home to all of my Harry Potter pop vinyl dolls. Grammy had her various seasonal figurine neighborhoods on this shelf constantly and I deemed it only fitting!

After lining them all up, I've concluded I definitely need more (and always will!) Here, take a look!

They have the best view in the room and I can finally breathe knowing everything is where it should be in my comfortable, yellow office.

I took time for some leisure reading this afternoon as well. Accompanied by a cup of tea, white candle and soft background music. I intend to do more right after finishing this blog post!

Self love is radiating out of my pores and I'm embracing every moment of it! 🥰

An All Too Familiar House

          Not the usual suspense-thriller synopsis I've become accustomed to when reading Lisa Jewell's novels, however, I was entranced by this novel from the get-co. The House We Grew Up In centers around a mother and her four children over the span of a decade. The mother, Lorelei, has an extensive hobby of collecting items that harbor a memory of time spent with her loved ones. Each and every memory-- meaning each and every item she just happens to come across. Lorelei is in fact a hoarder and it does not get better with time. It gets worse. In addition to Lorelei's intense and overbearing lifestyle, her children forego their relationship with their mother and each other in order to gain a sense of normalcy within their individual lives. One of Lorelei's children committed suicide at a ripe age of sixteen and her other three were simultaneously impacted by the act tremendously. Her other son took to finding a thrilling lifestyle in all the wrong places...

Four-Walled Nightmare

I will always and forever say this - Lisa Jewell is the QUEEN of the suspense/thriller genre. I'm sure most who read her would agree with me in comparing her and/or referencing her written ability in crafting a phenomenal read to that of the infamous Agatha Christie in her time. Jewell's 2019 debut novel centers around a young woman by the name of Libby Jones, a competent individual with a safe, bright future ahead. Until, she receives a letter shortly after her 25th birthday informing her of a family inheritance worth a fairly decent price and then some . Jones is introduced to readers as the main character to follow, but other characters soon take stage in a plot-twisting novel where family ties don't always hold true with faith, love, and blood. Jewell has this astonishing ability to craft the perfect chapter, whether it be mere attention to detail, length of pages or strategic craftsmanship of paragraph and dialogue portions leaving the reader wanting more - causing th...

All Around the Ferris Wheel

  Megan Miranda's novel, "All The Missing Girls", was a thriller/suspense novel I was happy to inhale from my TBR pile - literally (two days of reading straight through). The storyline follows Nicolette Farrell's life, from ten years prior to drastically moving out of her hometown and present day. I believe anyone can relate when Nic's character spends time reminiscing about how things were during high school vs how much things can change when becoming adults. But, what happens when something you did ten years ago starts to repeat itself - almost too much? It makes you wonder, are we really any different than how we used to be? Or have we just gotten better at masking it? Miranda does an awesome job, in my opinion, by introducing this story in backwards timeline sectioning. Nic's return is broken up into two/three weeks worth of a story (with longer portions towards the end of the novel) but Miranda works backwards in showing the jump between past and present...
