Fossil Haul Review
I recently went on a little shopping spree on Fossil’s website because they had a massive sale… on top of their sale! It was an additional 40% off on their sales/clearance prices so a lot of their inventory was very affordable. For those who don’t know, Fossil is a well-known retailer of affordable and nice…
Product Review: Rowenta X-cel Pocket Steamer
I fell into the linen craze this summer and purchased 5 linen dresses. What I love about linen clothes is two things: Unfortunately, my linen dresses came out extremely wrinkly from the dryer and when I put one on, I felt instantly embarrassed and knew there was no way to leave the house wearing a…
Monthly Reads | June 2023
New segment alert! I absolutely love reading but writing dedicated review posts for every single book I read is not my forte. I figured a monthly round-up is the way to go with brief reviews of the book! All links directs to Goodreads. Artificial Condition (The Murderbot Diaries #2) by Martha Wells Rating: 3/5. An…

After selling my Nintendo Switch, Dan and I thought it’d be nice to treat ourselves to a dinner out. We settled on…
Dior Book Tote Review – Good for Travelling?
Last year for my birthday, I decided to get a Dior book tote! It was a bag that caught my attention but I never found a pattern that I loved enough. I could’ve gone with the classic oblique or Toile de Jouy design but I knew it wouldn’t spark joy. I eventually found the small…
Product Review: Burt’s Bee Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm
This review is not sponsored by Burt’s Bee. All opinions are my own. Guess who finally finished her first Burt’s Bee lip balm?! I ended up going to Target to get a new lip balm but unfortunately, they ran out of the peppermint one that I used last time (yellow stick above) so I ended…
Reviewing 8 Top True Crime Podcasts (October 2021)
I’m a huge fan of true crime. Not sure how or where it started, but I loooove a good true crime book and podcasts. Am I the only one that enjoys cleaning the kitchen while learning about how Bob murdered a family of 6? There are so many seasoned and new true crime podcasts that…
