I can distinctly pick out a few books that have done this for me in the past year: 
💥 the entire RENEGADES trilogy by @marissameyerauthor
🎼 the audiobook version of DAISY JONES & THE SIX by @tjenkinsreid
👗 A DRESS FOR THE WICKED by @autumnsarahstory
🌳 obviously my fave INTO THE HEARTLESS WOOD by @gamwyn
🖤 all of the SHADES OF MAGIC books by @veschwab
🏖 my arc of THE LUCKY ESCAPE by @laurajaneauthor
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are the kind of books that create a strong desire to do nothing BUT read (and I love it) 🙈

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now that I have the gorgeous, signed hardcover copy (SWOON 🤩), I feel like I need to "break it in" (but like... you know... GENTLY) ✌🏼 If you haven't gotten to read this beautifully haunting and epic tale of tree siren monster girl, Seren, and cinnamon roll astronomer boy, Owen, then you're TOTALLY MISSING OUT 😳 You better get your hands on it right away! 📖

How to Maintain Hydrated Skin During the Colder Months


This post is in partnership with Physicians Formula. As always, all opinions are my own.

Achieving hydrated skin during autumn and winter can be tricky. The cold weather tends to be harsh. That’s where Physicians Formula‘s Organic Wear line comes in!

You would think that someone who has combination skin wouldn’t need to worry about moisture or hydration – but that’s a common misconception. In fact, combination and oily skin still needs just as much care in that department as dry skin does! I’ve seen a lot of acne-prone women forego their moisturizer because they think that drying out their skin will decrease blemishes. However, that only causes your skin to produce additional oil and therefore, it causes more acne! So, my fellow combo/problematic skin gals, this post is for you too!

After testing out the Organic Wear line by Physicians Formula over the past month, I’m sharing my thoughts on the products, letting you know why they’re so perfect for the fall and winter, and giving helpful tips for usage.


shop the post
(all products c/o Physicians Formula) Silk Foundation Elixir | Sculpting Bronzer | Dewy Blush Elixir | Dewy Highlighter | Brow Gel | Precision Liquid Eyeliner | Natural Origin Mascara | Tinted Lip Treatment | Mineral Primer | Nutrient Mist Facial Spray | Lip Polish | Double Cleansing Oil | Purifying Cleansing Stick | Bright Booster Oil Elixir

The Organic Wear collection provides the greatest beauty products for glowing and hydrated skin.

I’ve been dealing with a ton of pesky maskne spots recently, and after attempting all of my typical “cures,” I turned to the cleansers and elixirs in this collection. It has transformed the way my skin has responded. Yes, I’m still getting acne, because it really is unavoidable right now. However, it’s healing quickly, and the texture of my skin is much softer and actually feels clean without being totally stripped of essential oils. On my no-makeup days, I apply only the Bright Booster Oil Elixir and the Nutrient Mist Facial Spray to heal any blemishes and keep my skin supple and smooth.

My favorite products in the entire line are the Dewy Blush Elixir and the Brow Gel. I also adore the Tinted Lip Treatment. They add color where it’s necessary and brighten up my entire face. On days where I’d like some additional coverage, the Silk Foundation Elixir comes in handy. Side note: this product is not full-coverage, but it does help combat redness and dark circles. Pro Tip: apply the Dewy Highlighter under the eyes and use your ring finger to blend out to your cheekbones for additional brightness! I’ve been wearing these few products even when I have my mask on because I have hyperpigmentation, and if I go without any makeup at all, I can look splotchy and uneven. These have been my holy-grail items because they’re wonderful when I’m out and about and when I’m working from home!

My skin is quite picky, but I have only seen positive results from utilizing the Organic Wear line by Physicians Formula. I’m really impressed with these beauty products, and highly suggest them if you’re looking for additional hydration in the dryer months. Pair the skincare with the makeup for the ultimate hydrating beauty routine!

    Beautiful photos and the brand sounds really nice! Oh my goodness, already dreading what’s to come for my skin… I live in Scandinavia and here the weather really is the biggest threat and enemy for your skin. On the other hand, we also have loads of skincare brands and products that are focused on natural ingredients. But I do switch my moisturizer to a thicker version when the weather gets cold, I’ve got no other choice.

    Whilst I have quite oily skin, my partner’s skin is super duper dry. It makes NO sense considering how much greasy food we eat; I honestly thought our skin would reflect that, but NOPE! Super flaky and irritated all the time. When he actually uses products on it, it becomes far less noticeable, he just needs to develop a good ROUTINE, so I’ll have to save this post for a later day, and keep in mind all the different products that are out there and see what things will benefit him the most.

I’m most intrigued by the dewey highlighter, as it seems under my eyes is always one area that needs some help. No matter how much I sleep I still seem to get those dark circles!

    My skin is always super dry, even in the humid summer, so winter can be a real struggle to find a routine that really moisturizes! I haven’t tried any products from Physician’s Formula, but this line looks like it has so many useful products. Maskne is real, and even though I only wear mine when I leave the house on weekends, I’m glad to hear there might be a good solution!

Figured that the best time to share #MyAgeInFacts Figured that the best time to share #MyAgeInFacts is on my BIRTHDAY! 🥳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. I've been a full-time blogger for almost 6 years - previously fashion/lifestyle and recently rebranded to books!
2. My husband and I literally had a meet-cute at a wedding
3. I did musical theatre for 6 years and ballroom dancing for 3
4. When I was 16, I auditioned for the American Idol Experience, and somehow wound up singing to a full theater + broadcasted to the park (on Christmas Eve)
5. I was home-educated all the way through HS graduation
6. I didn't go to college, but I was accepted into a fashion merchandising program at VCU after high school
7. I nearly went to a makeup artistry school in Chicago
8. Clearly I love fashion/makeup but now I prefer to live in comfy clothes, makeup-free
9. I'm a total introvert and homebody and love that I work from home
10. I have a gastrointestinal chronic illness called gastroparesis (which is part of why I work from home)
11. I'm allergic to a TON of really bizarre food and can't eat any of Thanksgiving dinner
12. I listen to more audiobooks than music, but I still adore some good jazz or anything Taylor Swift lays her hands on
13. I don't have a favorite color
14. I've only ever had cats and my kitty, Luna, is my BFF
15. The library is my happy place and I cried when I got my first library card as a kid
16. I collect cute coffee mugs
17. I've only been off the east coast one time and barely remember it because I was so young
18. I have a super overactive imagination and can't stand anything remotely frightening
19. My hair is naturally auburn but I've been coloring it every shade of red since I was 18
20. Right now, I'm realizing I'll have to finish these facts in the comments because I'm way too wordy for my own good 😂

What are some of your favorite dystopian novels? 🔥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was one of the first questions I asked when I joined bookstagram, but I wanted to revisit it because this community has grown and I'm curious to see if I'll get any unfamiliar responses! 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently began reading Escaping Eleven (big thank-you to @entangledteen for sending this copy my way) and I'm really enjoying the Fallout-meets-Divergent kinda vibes 🏢

Controversial question time: is A Court of Thorns Controversial question time: is A Court of Thorns and Roses (the series) really worth all the hype? 😳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is something I've been considering a lot since joining bookstagram 📱 Up until last year, I didn't even know this was a popular series at all - let alone possibly the MOST popular series (in the bookish world) 🤯 And it's not just popular because it's loved; there are a lot of mixed thoughts on this fandom as a whole 🧚🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the past few months, I took it upon myself to read all the books leading up to A Court of Silver Flames and I'm getting BRUTALLY HONEST on the blog with my thoughts regarding this fantasy series 🤭 If you're curious, head to the link in my bio to check it out 🔗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SIDE NOTE: Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out to me with care and concern for my sweet kitty, Luna 🥺 Your encouragement, prayers, and positivity have been invaluable during this challenging time and I feel so blessed to have this supportive community in my life 🤎

What's the last book that made you SQUIRM? 🥴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been looking forward to reading THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS, primarily due to the amount of mixed reviews (I love forming my own opinion on super hyped books 🙈), but I guess I didn't read those reviews very well because I was not expecting for it to make my HEART RACE 🫀 BLOOD PUMP 🩸 and SKIN CRAWL 🐛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After a couple of chapters, I checked out the author's note on Goodreads and was grateful that she did, in fact, give content warnings 👏🏼 It's not for the faint of heart, that's for sure 😹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read this 1920's-Shanghai-gang-Romeo-&-Juliet retelling? 🗡

I knew from the moment I decided to join booksta that my name had to reflect what I wanted to photograph - and I desperately wanted to get creative with coffee and books! ☕️📚 I kept trying to think of interesting combinations that expressed what I’d be sharing but nothing felt satisfactory until... THE ESPRESSO EDITION popped into my head and I went OMG THAT’S IT!!! 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the prizes for my bookstaversary giveaway was a custom The Espresso Edition candle from @janzywaxco 🕯 There was just one problem: after the giveaway ended, I realized that I wanted one for myself 😂 Janzy is the BEST and made a second one just for me - complete with the PERFECT scent profile:

🍁 MAPLE SPICE
🎃 PUMPKIN
🥮 CARAMEL

If that’s not me in a candle, I don’t know what is 😱 Now is THE TIME to get one of her candles for yourself and you can use ESPRESSO10 for a discount 👏🏼

Do you participate in book clubs (or group/buddy r Do you participate in book clubs (or group/buddy reads)? 🤝
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had never been part of a book club until I joined bookstagram 😱 I've participated in a few virtual ones in the last year and now I'm HOSTING MY OWN 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday was the first group discussion for February's pick: Wicked Lovely 🦋 This is one of my favorite books/series of all time, so introducing it to my friends (and finding others who have already read it and wanted to reread) is SO much fun 🥳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Should I keep this virtual book club/group read going and pick a new title for next month? 📖
