Flickerwix June Monthly Box – Wicked Fun

So I discovered Flickerwix about a year ago.  Full disclosure I am a rep for this company, but these are my own opinions.  Not only are the candles amazing, but Katie is truly the sweetest person!   Every month Katie releases a box.  The boxes are themed and include one 4oz candle, three 2oz candle tins, and so many other goodies you won't know what to do.  The June box was Villain themed,…

Vacation Reads

Summer is upon us and for many of us, that means vacations. In all honestly, summer usually does mean I change my reading habits, I'm not sure why, but I do find myself reaching for “beach reads” as the days get hotter and longer. I am actually going on vacation next week, where I will conveniently be sitting on a beach, so I thought I would share a few of the books I…

The Fake Relationship

In my opinion, there is almost not better rom-com set up than the fake relationship! Unlike Enemies to Lovers, this trope is almost exclusively found in romance and is basically a Hallmark movie.  Let me tell you how it usually goes down.  Two characters meet somehow, perhaps through an ad, or just coincidence one or both of them need a significant other because of some variation of one of the following: 1. want…

2019 Reading Resolutions

First, let me start off by saying that I am one of those annoying people who prefer the word goal to resolution, but I also love alliteration so you see the conundrum.  Anyway, I have quite a few goals this year and I can't wait to start on them 1. Read 105 books In 2018 I read well over 100 books, so I am hoping to continue the trend in 2019 by upping…

Feature Friday: Bookish Gift Ideas from Amazon

I am apparently not easy to shop for or perhaps my loved ones are just too lazy to think of something to get for me because everyone seems to be asking me for a wish list.  Amazon is the easiest place to send them because most of my family have prime and trying to explain what I want from Etsy is just too difficult. The items below are all from my personal wish…
