Welcome to round 2 of my journey with the 75 medium challenge! I did the 75 medium challenge at the beginning of 2024 and was so happy with my results and that it kick-started me into maintaining healthy habits that carried me through the year.

After reading 10 books in October, I should have expected that I wouldn’t be able to outdo myself again! I read 5 books this past month for us to chat about. We have a non-fiction, a literary fiction, a romance, a fantasy-romance, and the most insane ALIEN spicy romance (that I’m terrified to even share lol). Just for the Summer…

I love the primitive, natural look of decorating with dried oranges for the holidays! Whether it’s hung like garland, strung for ornaments, or made in to a cool wreath (like this!), I love it all. Plus it’s perfect for garnish in a holiday cocktail! If you’re trying to come up with an inexpensive gift exchange gift, you could add some…

I have had the opportunity to read some STELLAR romance books this year and I can now add Just for the Summer to that list! I reviewed The Paradise Problem about a month ago and it was a 5 star book like this one. I haven’t had such luck with romance books in a while, but this one is seriously…
