Over the past few days I read book 3 in the Married to Magic series by Elisa Kova, A Duel with the Vampire Lord. Off the bat, I will say I definitely liked it more than A Deal with the Elf King, but I’m not sure if I like it slightly more or less than A Dance with the Fae Prince. All the novels in the Married to Magic series are standalones, but are set in the same world so there is a little mentioning here and there in the books of the other characters/kingdoms. In the previous books, it is mentioned that no one has heard from the vampirs…

I’m not exaggerating when I tell you I’ve had You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle on my tbr for over a year. I’d heard some mixed reviews on it, but I still wanted to read it and I’m glad I did because I loved it. The novel follows engaged couple Naomi and Nicholas. They are set to marry in a few months, but have never been more out of sync and irritated with each other. Naomi can barely stand being in the same room as Nicholas. But with an overbearing future mother-in-law who has taken over the wedding planning, it is understood that whoever calls off the wedding will…

If you’re looking for a splurge item for yourself this holiday season or to gift someone, you should consider the Foreo Bear Facial Toning Device. I was sent the Bear recently for review purposes and I’ve used it a few times in the past few weeks so I can’t give a full on review of the device or long term results, but I thought I’d just tell you about it! Here’s how Foreo describes the device: What it is: An FDA-cleared full-facial toning device with advanced microcurrents to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. What Else You Need to Know: The exclusive anti-shock system automatically adjusts the microcurrent…

Happy Friday! This has felt like longest and slowest week so far this school year. Today will be another long day with a full day of parent/teacher conferences. All of my time slots from 8am-4pm are booked and my only break is lunch. Hopefully it goes by quickly. As for today’s post. I shared this floral babydoll dress during the summer, but I wore it last weekend and threw a denim jacket on over it to make it more fall appropriate. I also wore white slip on sneakers instead of the tan sandals I wore over the summer. I figured I’d snap a few photos because it shows how the…

Sometimes I like looking at Amazon for staple closet basics that I don’t want to spend a lot of money on. I was looking for a couple t-shirt dresses and went searching on Amazon. I ended up picking up 2 of the same dress in different colors and coincidentally wore them both over the weekend. I got them in a mint green color and grey. I’ll be sharing the grey one another day soon, but first up is the mint green. I think the side tie detailing on this t-shirt dress is so fun and makes it different from the typical t-shirt dress. The dress is comfortable and a great…

There are two things that are quintessentially summer in terms of dresses – white and floral. I love this white dress with small floral print all over and the tie in the back. The tiny floral print is such a sweet design and there is french dot detailing as well. The puff sleeves can be worn on the shoulder or off the shoulder. I wore this dress with pink bow sandals for photos with Lauren. And I wore the dress to my friends’ baby shower last month. It’s such a pretty summer dress!

If you don’t have a Peloton, then you may not know that there are a ton more things you can do with your membership than just ride the bike. There’s a lot of types of classes I haven’t taken yet and want to, but of the non-spin classes I have taken, I’ve really enjoyed them. I’ve done yoga, stretching, full body strength, core, and one glutes & legs class and one meditation class. There are a ton more that I want to try like barre and pilates but I haven’t done them yet. I got resistance bands from Target recently, but that came in right before I got sick so…
