It has been a while since I shared a few images and links of products that I have posted on my Instagram over here on the blog. If you are not following me on Instagram you will see many more daily looks, reels, and other things that I love in the moment on stories. I want to do these monthly recaps so you can easily find product links to previous posts as well.
The books I read in a year are some of my favorite posts to share! I genuinely enjoy reading as a way to slow down and relax. It is my favorite way to connect with others who I know read as well. This past year was a busy one so my goal for 2023 to give myself at least 30 minutes per day to read was not as successful as I hoped. But, I am still going into 2024 with the same goal!
I am excited to introduce you to Ashley the creator of Black Girls Have Anxiety Too Podcast. She created this podcast a few years ago to create a safe space for Black women to talk about their mental health journeys. This podcast is insightful and helpful to know that you are not alone.
Happy New Year!
Goodbye 2022, hello 2023!
This year I am proud that I have read more than one book! Being in grad school, focusing on content creation for my blog and IG, working full-time, etc I did not prioritize my reading time like I used to. I finished up 2022 reading nine books of all different genres from personal finance to fictional summer reading.
I feel like it goes without saying but kindness does go a long way. We can change the course of someone’s day by just doing one simple act. This holiday (but really every day) challenge yourself to brighten someone’s day whether it is a stranger, coworker, or family member. Small acts can be the most meaningful gifts.
I can’t believe Christmas is already one week away! Here are some holiday cocktails that are easy and different to try with friends and family. I have my eye on the recipe for the Nooku Bulldog cocktail. Cheers!
I am a huge fan of gifting books for the holiday. They are a great way to provide a resource for a friend or family depending on the genre, or it can be a fun read that they can enjoy!
There is no better feeling than being able to kick up your feet after a long day or enjoying a slow summer day with a good book. I look forward to reading easy, fun books with entertaining storylines. I am sharing some books I enjoyed reading during the summer!
