A friend asked me the other day how I found myself enjoying fantasy and I told her that it started when I read THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA with my family at 6 years old 🦁 It was a popular genre on the bookshelves in our home, so it came as no surprise that a few years later I was picking up THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS πŸ’ I never really knew life without fantasy novels and I'm really grateful for the fact that my parents always encouraged my desire to read as many books from as many different genres as I could get my hands on πŸ“š

What are your ultimate ESCAPE reads? 🌌
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of the reasons I love fantasy so much is because it is the furthest thing from reality! πŸ‰ Since reading IS my escape, I appreciate books that take me somewhere else entirely - another world, another dimension, somewhere magical πŸ’«
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite escape reads are:
♠️ CARAVAL - Remember, it's only a game... or is it? 
✨ THE STARLESS SEA - Follow the clues: a bee, a key, and a sword.
πŸ— THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY - Secret doors written into existence. 
πŸ¦‹ STRANGE THE DREAMER - A moth, light upon the brow, can transport you into the dream.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Honestly, just typing out these titles gave me a little shiver of delight because I just love them all so much! πŸ₯Ί Have you read any of them? πŸ“š

Do you enjoy reading classic literature? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'll admit, I've never been the *biggest* fan of classics πŸ™ˆ I feel as though that's an abomination for a bookworm, but it's just the truth 🀭 My exceptions are anything by Louisa May Alcott (specifically Jo's Boys), The Chronicles of Narnia, and Anne of Green Gables πŸ“š I think I enjoy these because they're nostalgic for me - they're the books I grew up with πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

I found myself stating, "I need to read that again," on a regular basis, so I put together a list of some of the books and series I'd like to revisit in 2021 πŸ“ Now I really can't wait to dive into some old favorites and even different formats of recent reads πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
RENEGADES is one of the first ones I added to my list because I flew through this trilogy in a week last year and I'd like to take my time with it when I reread so I can really indulge in the incredible story πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ I also added THE LUNAR CHRONICLES (on a Marissa Meyer kick, clearly) as well as some of my comfort reads from high school like PAPER TOWNS and DELIRIUM 😱

One of my recent favorite quotes was this:
"Do you know how you live three hundred years? she says.

The One Where Stephanie Wore a Friends Tee


What if I told you I found 20 Friends gifts you gotta add to your wishlist. Would you believe me?

If you said yes, then good – because IΒ do have 20 Friends gifts in this post that you’ll want to add to your wishlist – or buy right away! I’ve watched every episode of this show more times than I can count, and I’m pretty devastated that Netflix is removing it from the index. I guess it’s time for me to start collecting all the seasons on DVD for safe-keeping, huh? Maybe I should have added those to this product round-up!

My friend, Kaylyn, recently got me this top and skirt before our trip to DC and I knew I had to wear them together while playing tourist in Georgetown. Both pieces are so insanely comfortable, and even though it was about a bajillion degrees outside, I was still comfortable from my head down to my sneakers. And even though I was just in a casual graphic tee, I still felt super cute because of the addition of my skirt and blush backpack. This is what I call a winning combo! It made me realize that everyone needs some Friends merch in their life, so if you keep scrolling, you’ll find 20 gifts to get for yourself or a friend!


Outfit Details
top (sold out, but here’s theΒ sweatshirt version) | similar skirt | similar backpack | sneakers | necklaceΒ | sunglasses

Here are the 20Β Friends gifts you’ll want to grab for a friend (or for yourself) right now!

Which one is your favorite? I wanted to include products that work for both guys and girls, so you can refer back to this at any time for birthdays, holidays, and more!

    I love Friends!! Those tops are just so cute! And paired with that adorable pink backpack + those white sneakers?! Yes 🙌🏽 I love the episode of Friends when Rachel has a baby shower thrown for her 🤣 and Monica is obsessed with trying to please Rachel’s mom lol

    I am heartbroken that Friends will be leaving Netflix, but I guess this gives me an excuse to watch it on repeat, every single day until it’s off, RIGHT??? Love this t-shirt so much.

A friend asked me the other day how I found myself enjoying fantasy and I told her that it started when I read THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA with my family at 6 years old 🦁 It was a popular genre on the bookshelves in our home, so it came as no surprise that a few years later I was picking up THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS πŸ’ I never really knew life without fantasy novels and I'm really grateful for the fact that my parents always encouraged my desire to read as many books from as many different genres as I could get my hands on πŸ“š

What are your ultimate ESCAPE reads? 🌌
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of the reasons I love fantasy so much is because it is the furthest thing from reality! πŸ‰ Since reading IS my escape, I appreciate books that take me somewhere else entirely - another world, another dimension, somewhere magical πŸ’«
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite escape reads are:
♠️ CARAVAL - Remember, it's only a game... or is it? 
✨ THE STARLESS SEA - Follow the clues: a bee, a key, and a sword.
πŸ— THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY - Secret doors written into existence. 
πŸ¦‹ STRANGE THE DREAMER - A moth, light upon the brow, can transport you into the dream.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Honestly, just typing out these titles gave me a little shiver of delight because I just love them all so much! πŸ₯Ί Have you read any of them? πŸ“š

Do you enjoy reading classic literature? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'll admit, I've never been the *biggest* fan of classics πŸ™ˆ I feel as though that's an abomination for a bookworm, but it's just the truth 🀭 My exceptions are anything by Louisa May Alcott (specifically Jo's Boys), The Chronicles of Narnia, and Anne of Green Gables πŸ“š I think I enjoy these because they're nostalgic for me - they're the books I grew up with πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I found myself stating, "I need to read that again," on a regular basis, so I put together a list of some of the books and series I'd like to revisit in 2021 πŸ“ Now I really can't wait to dive into some old favorites and even different formats of recent reads πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
RENEGADES is one of the first ones I added to my list because I flew through this trilogy in a week last year and I'd like to take my time with it when I reread so I can really indulge in the incredible story πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ I also added THE LUNAR CHRONICLES (on a Marissa Meyer kick, clearly) as well as some of my comfort reads from high school like PAPER TOWNS and DELIRIUM 😱

I don't like to mark my books in any way, but I do want to remember the quotes that impact me as I read ✍🏼 I'll update my Goodreads progress, jot down a note in my phone, or sometimes I'll even take photos of the book and "highlight" the photo πŸ˜‚
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of my recent favorite quotes was this:
"Do you know how you live three hundred years? she says.
And when he asks how, she smiles. "The same way you live one. A second at a time." - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (aka quite possibly the most quotable book I've ever read) πŸ’«

When I read Instructions for Dancing, it made me miss ballroom dancing, which is something I did for 3 years in high school! πŸ‘  I haven't danced like that in so long, but reading this inspired me to begin practicing some again (even if it's in my room, by myself πŸ˜‚)
