    Velvet Pumpkins

    November 6, 2019 /

    While sharing some fall decor inspo on my Instagram stories I shared velvet pumpkins from Etsy and wanted them for myself! Hazards of sharing sales and inspo. The ones I originally saw, from the same shop, had more fall-like colors with mustard yellows and olive greens, but then I saw this set with more jewel toned colors like the emerald green. Since I doubted I’d be at my new condo by Halloween (and I was right) I thought the richer colors would be better suited for me since they could easily translate in to decor for the rest of the fall season and Thanksgiving as well. The pumpkins are so cute…

    Fall in Historic Bethlehem

    October 25, 2018 /

    Last weekend I met up with my friend and her baby in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to walk around, eat lunch, and catch up. It’s a halfway point for us and two years ago we walked around the Christmas market at the steel stacks in Bethlehem. This time we met up in the downtown, Main St. area which just so happens to be in historic Bethlehem. I only took a few photos, but I thought I’d still share them. The weather was perfect and everything was so nicely decorated for fall. When we walked down the side, residential streets pretty much every home was decorated so cute for fall! So many pretty…

    Getting Ready for Fall

    September 13, 2018 /

    Fall has quickly become my favorite season in the past few years. I don’t know why considering I associate fall with summer vacation being over and having to go back to work. However, there’s just something about fall that I love. The crisp, cool air. Apple cider donuts. Breaking out the cozy sweaters. Oh and ushering in the holiday season, of course. Since I’m in a new space (my townhouse), I picked up a few fall decor things. I didn’t want to go overboard with decorating, plus I don’t have the money to! So it was just a few things. First, I got this super cute leaf candle holder from…

    Pumpkin Planters

    October 25, 2017 /

    While browsing Pinterest (what else is new) I was looking for a fall decor craft/idea. I saw pumpkins being used as planters which I thought was a brilliant idea and really cute. However, I quickly found out that the one I originally saw was made using a plastic decorative pumpkin and when I tried to search for real pumpkin planters they were either done by real florists and elaborate or hot glued succulents on top of the pumpkin. But I didn’t see a reason why I couldn’t use a real pumpkin as a planter so that’s what I did! I went to my local farmstand and got 2 medium sized…

    Fall Wreath DIY

    October 11, 2016 /

    I’m back with a new craft post! If you know me, you know I like to attempt to craft but I’m not amazing at it. That doesn’t stop me though and I think I’ve gotten better and better. If you’ve been following me for a while you may remember last fall when I wrote about my fall door decor. I wrote in that post about how it was really hard to find nice fall door decor because I personally thought so many of the pieces available were not very good looking. I was able to spruce up one I found last year but I wasn’t completely satisfied. So this year, I…

    Fall Door Decor

    October 22, 2015 /

    An easy way to decorate for any season or holiday is by putting some decor on your front door. There are so many creative DIY fall wreaths and door decor pieces available online that I’d love to try in the future, but this year I took the easy way out and got a store-bought one. I did, however, tweak it a little bit. First off, can I just say that there are so many fall wreaths and decor pieces that are really not cute looking! I find that so many of them have the fake acorns and they are not good looking acorns in the slightest. Yes, they’re fake acorns but…

2 Fights by @nikkicastleromance is the second book 2 Fights by @nikkicastleromance is the second book in the Fight Game series and follows Jax and Hailey. We met both characters in 5 Rounds. Jax is best friends with both Remy and Tristan and Hailey is Remy’s younger sister. Glimpses of Hailey’s toxic relationship was seen in the first book and in 2 Fights she begins to realize how harmful her boyfriend has been to her mental health and self esteem. Jax helps her through it all and reminds her of her amazing she is. Jax has looked out for Hailey since she was a kid but is now seeing her in a different light and realizing how beautiful and grown up she is. Hailey had a crush on Jax when she was a kid but now is there something there? They have always had chemistry, but now with all the time they’re spending together they can’t nor do they want to be apart. 💕📚

The love between Jax and Hailey is really sweet. We see their relationship go from a loving friendship to a soulmate type of love. There is lots of good spice, but the real story is about Hailey’s healing from her past and how Jax helps her along the way👫. I loved the book! My obsession with them is a little less than with Remy and Tristan, but still loved the book. 

This is great for lovers of sports romance, friends to lovers, and sister’s best friend/best friend’s sister tropes. My full review is on the blog ✨

Things We Hide from the Light by @scorelucy picks Things We Hide from the Light by @scorelucy picks up right after Things We Never Got Over and focuses on Nash and Lina. Nash, our lovable police chief, is silently dealing with ptsd from almost dying and his shooter still on the run. Lina , our fiesty insurance investigator, is adjusting to temporarily living in the small town of Knockemout and surprisingly liking it. There was an instant attraction between the two and for some reason Nash can only feel calm and not anxious when she’s with him and Nash is the first person Lina has ever remotely considered a relationship with. 📖

 Can Nash be the one to change her mind about relationships? Can Lina help him through his PTSD and be happy again? Will Nash be okay when he finds out that Lina is in town because she’s coincidentally after the same guy who tried to kill him? 👀 💖

I loved this book! Nash and Lina were such great characters and I was happy to be back in Knockemout with beloved characters especially Knox, Naomi, and Way of course! 💕📚

Read this if you’re in the mood for a spicy contemporary romance with brother’s best friend and forced proximity vibes. Now I can’t wait for Lucian and Sloane’s book! My full review is on the blog! 📚✨

I loved Always a Princess by @clyverose a few year I loved Always a Princess by @clyverose a few years ago so when she sent me her follow up in the series, The King’s Mistress, I was so excited! The novel takes place a few years after Always a Princess and follows Lydia, Wil’s younger sister who is now at marrying age, and Valkin, Syeira’s brother who is a Romany king. 👑 

When Lydia finds out that her father has betrothed her to an old and mean Earl, she runs away to try to get to France to find safety in her eldest brother, Roger. But on the way she happens upon the Romany camp where Valkin, Syeira, and Wil live. Lydia claims she is the mistress of Valkin for protection. Wil and Syeira are away and Valkin does not recognize her after so many years. Unwilling to reveal her true identity in order to protect Valkin’s people, Lydia is comforted by the feeling of community and family (and the rekindling of her childhood crush on Valkin) until she is well enough to head to France. Valkin knows she should go for the safety of his people but he also doesn’t want to let her go. 💕

The slow burn, tension, and angst in this book was so good! I loved Lydia and Valkin and getting to see beloved couple Wil and Syeira and their growing family again. My full review is on the blog ✨📖
