July Favorites

Beauty· Uncategorized

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing my July favorites with y’all. July is always bittersweet because I know August is just around the corner and that means school starts back. Today is my last official day of summer. Can you hear me crying? 🙁
July’s favorite book was Eight Hundred Grapes. You can see my thoughts and the rest of the books I read this month in my July Book Review post.

Another Tree Hut product has made it into the monthly favs, y’all! I am obsessed with their body scrubs. They are wonderful! This one smells amazing, too!

If I were a body wash, I’d be this one. This is hands down the best fruity smelling body wash I’ve ever tried. I LOVE the smell of this!!!!

This toner has been around forever and a day and it’s always worked well for me. I forgot I had it and then remembered when I found it in the back of my cabinet. I love using this after I’ve cleansed my face. I feel like it gets any leftover makeover that I might have missed. I also love the way it makes my skin feel. 

Have y’all ever tried Bath and Body Works’s gel lotion? You must! I LOVE this line and this Pink Lemonade Fizz scent is my favorite. 

I’ve been off on my candle game recently since I’ve taken to my Scentsy warmer, but I fell in love with them again after purchasing this one. Pink Apple Punch is the perfect fruity scent for late summer. Can y’all tell I’ve been into fruit lately?? 🙂

July will forever be one of my favorite months this year because this was the month I received my very first Erin Condren Life Planner! 

I am obsessed with watching planning videos on Youtube, but I haven’t quite mastered the art of planner decorating. I’ve ordered a bunch of Etsy stickers though and I hope to start sharing my weekly spread with y’all!

I’ve been loving this Bare Minerals lipstick this month. It’s the perfect amount of pink without being too sticky. I often navigate towards matte lipsticks, but I’ve made an exception for this one! 🙂

    I've never even heard of a gel lotion! It sounds very odd to me but I'm going to look for it next time that I'm in their store.

    I love your weekly planning in your Erin Condren, I would love to see more! & the gel lotion from B&BW is one of my favorites, I picked up a tropical scent to use while at the beach this summer & it felt so good on sun-drenched skin!

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

November reading wrap up Yall, I’ve been so bad November reading wrap up

Yall, I’ve been so bad about posting my monthly wrap ups 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s definitely a goal for the new year because I miss them so much!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for the tagged publishers for the gifted copies!

Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
