A day late…but hopefully not a dollar short. Happy reading, friends! Colorfully yours, Haley We Are the Brennans by Tracey Lange—3.5/5 I obviously had no choice but to read this. Not only do I share a last name with the characters, but my dad has always said the phrase “We are the Brennans” when he […]
I was hoping to get this posted while it was still February, but I feel like one week into March basically counts. Happy reading! Colorfully yours, Haley All the Money in the World by Robert Anthony Siegel—2/5 Friends have been telling me to track my books on Goodreads for a while now. But, I like(d) […]
Yup, you read that right. The most expensive item on my list of everyday makeup? $12.99. Plus, you can get all of the below products at Ulta or Amazon—those are the two places I’ve linked to make your shopping easier. After all, who wants to buy from five different sites and rack up shipping costs?! […]
Do I talk too much about books? Probably. Am I going to keep doing it anyway? You betcha. Here are my reviews of the books I read this month: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig—3.75/5 You may have noticed that this was my first virtual book club pick of the year. As I discussed via […]
I’m always trying to up my protein intake…and always in the mood for a sweet treat. I have Pinterest boards full of lightened-up dessert and snack recipes that’ve been collecting proverbial dust for years. I finally put two of them to good use and was pleasantly surprised with the results. First up are these Banana […]
Nana. Nan. Virginia. Vee. Ma. You went by many names, but the one I feel luckiest to have called you is “friend.” Lots of people are close with their grandparents, but it feels like a rare privilege that I was able to call my grandmother my friend, too. Nowadays, people in my generation seem to […]
Just in the nick of time, I finished my 50th read of the year! I didn’t have an initial goal in mind, but I decided to count a few weeks ago and realized how close I was to that milestone—so why not reach it?! Don’t forget to catch up on Part 1 and Part 2 […]
Since my initial 2021 book review post (“Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021“), I’ve knocked 25 more off my to-be-read list, so I was long overdue for a part two. To keep this post manageable for both me and you, dear reader, I’ve kept it to about half that and plan on posting a […]
You probably know by now that I have a *bit* of an addiction to buying wall art. I’m close to running out of space for it in my small apartment, but that hasn’t stopped me yet. So, when Mapiful reached out to tell me about their new LineArt prints, I couldn’t resist. Here’s a snippet […]
I moved into my “new” apartment five months ago…but I’m just finally getting around to sharing it with you. To be honest, it took me a long time to get it exactly how I wanted it—from waiting on backordered items to moments of indecision and pure laziness, this apartment was certainly not built in a […]
