Apart from books, I accumulated a lot of beauty favourites in 2017. Last year, I discovered new companies, and new products, that have become instant favourites of mine. I feel like 2017 was the year I became the most comfortable with the makeup I wear. Throughout my life I felt self-conscious about what makeup I wore, but last year I always felt confident in all the looks I did. Throughout this year of beauty, here is what I fell in love with.

Another year has started, which means another year of books to read! I always have a difficult time picking books to read because I own over 100 books I haven’t read yet. Yup, that’s right, over 100. In a reading year, I read a lot of books I haven’t read yet, but I also reread books too. So, adding that into consideration, it becomes very hard for me to choose what books I feel like reading month to month.

I can’t believe it’s already December! I feel like 2017 went by faster than I thought. Last month, I decided that I wasn’t going to complete my 60 book reading goal. A lot of the books I read this year felt rushed. I wasn’t enjoying my reading as much, and I felt like I needed to finish a ton of books to be satisfied. I have now reduced my reading goal to 52 books, which I’ve already almost completed. I feel better taking my time with books, and giving them the time they deserve. I typically read about 50 books in a year anyway, so already reaching that a month before the year ends is pretty amazing. Continue reading
Every once and a while, it happens to the best of us. A reading slump. It’s not something we want to happen, but it almost always does. I’m an avid reader, and I usually read about 50 books a year. So how do I get in a reading slump? There’s many reasons, actually. I sometimes become bored with the books I read, or I’m just not in the mood to read at all. GASP! I know, shocking. Although this happens, there’s always ways to jump back into reading. After a little bit of thinking, I gathered a few tips and tricks to get back on the reading train. Continue reading
Last month, I had the pleasure of reading the second poetry collection by Rupi Kaur. The Sun and Her Flowers was everything and more of what I wanted to read. In a similar organization to Milk and Honey, Kaur divides her book into sections to emulate the different themes she discusses. Her book is divided into Wilting, Falling, Rooting, Rising, and Blooming to depict her struggles and growth. I think this organization structures her poems to allow a better understanding of her work.

After a little break from my blog, I am back to regular posting again. Woohoo! To start things off, I created my November TBR pile which I really want to complete this month. With only 2 months until the end of the year, I really need to take the time to read if I want to succeed in my reading goal. Continue reading
I read a lot of books every year, and with that, I get a sense of what I like in a book. Unfortunately, I don’t like every book I read. Sometimes, dare I say it, I hate certain books. With the book community on Instagram, and Goodreads, we all tend to rate our books in between 1 to 5 stars. I use the same type of rating, but each number may differ to what is stated on Goodreads. In my rating system, I rate from 1 to 5 stars, the higher the number, the more I liked it.
