Friday Favorites [7.29.22]

Happy Friday! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some of my favorites that have helped me get through summer so far!

When e-readers came out, I fought and fought against one. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love reading and my dad insisted on getting me one for every holiday but I kept saying no. It wasn't until I traveled abroad and had limited space in my luggage that I gave in and tried one. I haven't looked back once! Ten years later and I got a new Kindle....the Paperwhite. The balcony at my apartment is finally finished and decorated so I've been sitting out on it more and knew I had a couple of beach trips planned and reading on the Kindle Fire is difficult with the glare from the sun. The Paperwhite makes reading outside so easy and the battery lasts forever! I didn't have to charge it once when I was in Mexico!
I discovered this sunscreen last year and am OBSESSED! I've always known Trader Joe's was great for food but who knew their sunscreen would be so amazing. It goes on nicely and is easy to rub in. It doesn't leave any sticky residue and you don't even realize you have it on -- even Stephen wears it without putting up a fight and he usually prefers spray sunscreen. As soon as I got back from my trip, I ran to Trader Joe's and bought two more since we used up my whole bottle at the beach.
I first saw these towel clips on my cruise and immediately came home and ordered some. How have I gone 31 years without knowing about these or using them? Gone are the days of the wind blowing my towel down anytime there is a slight breeze -- these clips keep the towels in place! I have enough for everyone during my next beach trip and I can't wait to share the love with everyone.
I recently had my friends over at Inkslingers make some hats for my travel agency as well as a friend who is a travel agent. I love how it turned out and I wear it all the time! I already have more merchandise I'm sending their way for them to customize. They do great work, are very meticulous and so easy to work with! They do all sorts of things from screen printing to embroidery and everything in between!
Did you see my July book review yesterday? It was such a good month of books and I'm looking forward to my last month of summer to try and mark some more books off of my TBR list. Speaking of TBR, what else should I add to my list?

Friday Favorites [8.5.22]

  It's Friday again and I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for some more Friday Favorites! Remember how last week in my book review I said that I read The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy in about three days? I followed it up by watching the series on Amazon Prime and it is definitely a favorite. The show is so sweet and seven episodes was not nearly enough for me! I'm really hoping for a second season and it can't come soon enough! This Nashville-Style Hot salad is DELICIOUS! It's the Target brand good & gather and it's my absolute favorite. It has cornbread croutons and dill flavored dried cucumbers...I'm getting hungry just describing it. Plus it has the tastiest spicy ranch dressing that really makes the salad. When I buy these, I always pick up two because I love them that much. My Cricut has been a lifesaver over the last couple of weeks. Last week I had Covid and was going stir crazy being stuck in my house. Enter my Cricut. I made SO. MANY. st

July Book Review

I thought June was a good month for books, but somehow July was even better! This month saw seven books including a memoir, a YA series, some historical fiction, a beach read and suspense novel. Grab a glass of iced tea and open up your Goodreads account so you can add some of these books to your TBR list! My first read of the month was Over the Top  by Jonathan Van Ness from Queer Eye.  I was at the library looking for a different book when I saw this one and picked it up on a whim. I love the show and listened to Tan France's audiobook last year so I was excited to learn more about JVN and get some inside scoop on the show. That being said, I wasn't that impressed with the book. It mostly talks about his wild days and I do appreciate his vulnerability speaking out about mental health issues and how left untreated, it wasn't healthy -- or safe. I think I just went into the book with different expectations but that being said, I'm glad I read it. Next up was Not a Happ
