Why You Need A Book Jar

Posted on August 10, 2020August 10, 2020by Caroline

So, I have a confession. I love books. Phew. It feels good to get that off my chest. Growing up, my parents rarely denied me a book. The Book Fair at school was the best! {Especially when my mom worked at the school…I got discounts AND got to go every day.} Over the years, my […]

Whatever magic Lucinda Berry was born with, we are lucky she is sharing it with the rest of us. About Lucinda Berry Dr. Lucinda Berry is a former clinical […]

The Safe Place by Anna Downes

Posted on July 14, 2020July 6, 2020by Caroline

Happy Pub Day, Anna Downes! Tremendous thanks to you and St. Martin’s Press for the advanced reader copy of The Safe Place! Superbly tense and oozing with atmosphere, Anna Downes’s debut is the perfect summer suspense, with the modern gothic feel of Ruth Ware and the morally complex family dynamics of Lisa Jewell. I’ve kind […]

Reading Roundup: Second Quarter 2020

Posted on July 2, 2020August 23, 2020by Caroline

Thanks to coronavirus, I am well on my way to reaching my goal of 75 books in 2020. When I set that goal, I honestly thought it was a reach and would be difficult to achieve. However, like most things, if you prioritize, you can definitely reach your goals. Granted, some of this quarter’s books […]

Patience is a Virtue

Posted on June 27, 2020June 27, 2020by Caroline

Patience is something I don’t have too much of. Generally, I read the last page of a book because I don’t like not knowing how it ends. The Bachelor/Bachelorette? I almost always look up the spoilers to see who wins. Now that I don’t have cable, I can’t mentally afford to get involved in shows […]

If you know Olivia, you know how wiggly she is. I If you know Olivia, you know how wiggly she is. I have had a crazy idea for a photo grid of Olivia on a wall in my house, so my dad came over and took an absurd number of photos. Yes, part of her is blurry in almost every single picture, but that’s who she is. I mean, LOOK AT THIS SWEET FACE. 😍

This isn’t an ad, but it totally should be. I st This isn’t an ad, but it totally should be. I started adding Collagen Peptides to my morning coffee about a month or so ago, and I can absolutely tell the difference! My hair is getting thicker, my nails are healthier, and so many other benefits I won’t go into here. (For the record, I have also price compared everywhere, and Costco definitely had the BEST deal, even when it’s not on sale.)👏🏼

Today marks 50 days in a row of dripping sweat exe Today marks 50 days in a row of dripping sweat exercise. Now, that’s not a big deal for a lot of people, but it’s the most consistent I have been with working out since I stopped dancing. 💃🏼 Today, I had big plans for “showing up” in a cute outfit to take an #influencer style photo, but today was not my day. I woke up in the worst kind of mood, and leaned in to those dark feelings. However, I still needed to workout, and I feel so much better now. Just listening to kind words from @elisejoanfitness in the Barre Blend class today settled my heart and my mind. So, here’s an unfiltered, sweaty photo of me after 50 days of exercise with my ride or die who has been there for every workout. 😁
