If you don’t like murder mysteries, this is not the novel for you. If you’re a psychological thriller junkie like I am, you should add it to your cart. Full disclosure, I received this book for free as part of my InfluenceHer Essentials Summer Box, which you might’ve seen me mention on my Instagram. I […]
Everyone has their own morning routine. Mine consists of pressing snooze about seven times and then finally panicking and shooting out of bed. I throw on clothes, brush my teeth and fly out the door—this all usually happens within a six minute period. And you thought I was high maintenance! Once I get to my […]
I’m bubbly, feminine, and bright. But I also love stories about murder and dark secrets. Go figure. I’ve been interested in this stuff for as long as I can remember…even though I was also afraid of my own shadow for many years. Since my commute to work has increased again, I’ve gotten back into the […]
Sometimes you just need a couple of days with an old friend to center yourself. Lucky for me, my friend Kate came to visit last weekend and we had the best time. I haven’t had a chance to post about it until now, but I definitely didn’t want to skip the recap because there are […]

My soon-to-be sister-in-law gave me this one after hearing glowing reviews from her students. The novel by Angie Thomas is narrated by Starr, a 16-year-old black girl straddling the line […]

I’ve been talking about going to Paris for the last couple of years, but for one reason or another it never worked out. I had been with my family as a kid, but I was too young to fully appreciate it. Earlier this fall, I finally said YOLO! I asked my best friend from home, […]

Dim the lights, burn a candle, and get ready for a séance Netflix binge. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Netflix I was a huge Sabrina the Teenage Witch […]
