I was looking for a spring read with lots of vivid imagery, and Anne of Green Gables did not disappoint. Over the years I have seen so many quotes from this book, and a lot of book vloggers were recommending it as a good spring read, so I ordered a gorgeous copy of the Puffin [...]
Today I’m talking about a book I recently finished, “The Storyteller” by Dave Grohl. This was a phenomenal autobiography with lots of emotional intelligence and class while still showing the real side of life as a super famous rock ‘n roll musician. Judging by videos of him and this book Grohl is a super down-to-earth [...]
Hello, I have returned! I have been extremely busy as a full-time work-from-home mom. I have been focusing on spending the little downtime I do have reading, with my daughter, and on my own. I honestly was struggling to think of where I wanted to go with my blog, so for a year, I posted [...]
I was a brownie scout for a brief time as a kid, so Girl Scout cookie time is nostalgic for me. I also have a huge sweet tooth so I can’t resist getting a few boxes -- to fulfill my craving and help young girls find a place of belonging. This year I only bought [...]
Disclosure: I was gifted this matcha for a free and honest review. As a Japanese Green Tea Co. affiliate, I will be compensated for sales made using my discount code. Happy matcha Monday! I don't know why I decided that now was a good time to go cold turkey on the coffee, while working and [...]
Hello, friends! I hope you are all safe and well. It's been an eventful -- albeit odd at times -- year. I once again have gone a long stretch without posting, but in mid-June, my daughter was born, so I have been focused on caring for her. I can't believe how much she's grown in [...]
I wish I could say I've been super productive throughout this quarantine. I should've done more blog posts, started a new hobby or something to that extent. But it's been really mentally exhausting at times, since I've continued working full-time, my belly has kept growing and I've been trying not to worry too much about [...]
Amora Coffee recently reached out to me about trying their new teas. The company is known for their coffee but recently added a tea line, so I was interested to see how the blends were. While I usually sip loose leaf, these bags were rich and flavorful. The teas are all pure and organic, and [...]
I design Tribune Publishing newspapers for my day (night) job, and when I was working on the Aurora Beacon News a couple months ago, I read a story about Calla Lily Tea Room in Aurora and knew I wanted to try it. It looked like a really cute spot, and I have been searching for [...]
When Estee Cheng from Esteas reached out and asked if I wanted to try her teas, I was excited, especially for the Duck Shit Oolong. I'd seen it around and have always been curious what all the hype was about, and where the name came from so I looked forward to tasting it. I [...]
