What's the next backlist book on your TBR? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a huge fan of reading backlist books and this year, that has primarily come in the form of rereading my favorites 🫶🏼 I've finished my rereads of the Shades of Magic, Shadow and Bone, and The Hunger Games series - and I'm continuing my rereads of Six of Crows, Renegades, Strange the Dreamer, and All the Stars and Teeth 🙀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next up on my backlist TBR:
 ☕️ Legends & Lattes (FINALLY - been waiting for this library hold for what feels like a thousand years)
♾️ Stealing Infinity (I received a copy of this from Entangled but it's been sitting on my shelf far too long.. it's time to dive in)
🐍 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (after my THG reread, I'm ready to jump into this to prep for the upcoming film)
🎤 On the Come Up (I started craving more Angie Thomas after Concrete Rose so this was the natural next step)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? 👆🏼

For me, it was WE ARE ALL SO GOOD AT SMILING by @ambsmcbride 📖 I read this in one sitting and cried crocodile tears through 80% of it 🐊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book - whew - it's heavy and haunting and simultaneously so beautiful and hopeful ✨ I've truly never read anything quite like it and I know I'll want to revisit it time and again, especially when I find myself struggling with the negative voices in my head 🤎 (Please note the content warnings before beginning your journey into this incredible story)

Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎 My mom ca Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎

My mom can confirm that when I was younger, I was constantly gobbling up mystery books 📖 As I got older, I found that so many books labeled as “mysteries” for YA and adults were more like thrillers - focusing on suspense and fear, rather than sleuthing (not my jam) 🙈

Now, I’m realizing that I must have just been looking in the wrong places for good mysteries, because they’re definitely out there 🙌🏼 I absolutely devoured The London Séance Society - enjoying the way it blended historical mystery, a healthy dose of suspense, and wild fantastical elements into just over 350 pages 🔮

Have you read this one yet? 🕯️

Getting Ready With My Bridesmaids

Getting ready with my bridesmaids on my wedding morning is something I’ll never forget.

My transformation into a bohemian princess began at eleven in the morning, and while it ended on a more rushed note, overall the process of getting ready was truly wonderful. My bridesmaids helped calm my nerves (even getting me to eat donuts for the first time in a couple of days) and kept me level-headed before walking down the aisle to marry the love of my life.

Honestly, I’ve never felt as beautiful as I felt on my wedding day. The mother of a bestie of mine from high school did my makeup, and a dear friend of mine styled my hair. One of my blogger babes came before the wedding photographer to capture the “getting ready” process, and I couldn’t be more grateful for these photos of the more candid moments with my bridesmaids and mom.


Details

My biggest tip to brides-to-be is to take your time on your wedding morning.

If I could do anything over from my day, it would be giving myself an extra hour or two to get ready. The beginning of the day started off peacefully, and we enjoyed a fun brunch and took lots of pictures. However, crunch time really began when we realized that only one of the bridesmaids had her makeup done (I was the one who was supposed to be the “makeup artist” for them) and I was about to do the first look with my dad in ten minutes. YIKES. So my incredible bridal makeup artist took over for me and made my bridesmaids glow with their stunning makeup. I am extremely grateful for her help, but it was challenging for me to not complete the task myself.

After a snack-y brunch provided by the mom of one of my childhood friends, we sipped on our BABE Rosé, and changed from our sweats into our Wedding Favorites satin robes. From this moment on, the day was an absolute blur. I remember looking over and seeing my girls doing each other’s hair while others chatted and got to know each other. It was honestly precious to witness all my best babes becoming friends before my eyes. By the end of the wedding, several of them had really hit it off, and the group chat was blowing up with pictures and fun stories the next day. THIS is what made my “getting ready” time so memorable.

Bridal Party Details // The Dress Reveal

In those final moments, right after my dress had been buttoned up by my mom, my best friend came and wrapped her arms around me while we looked at my bridal style in the mirror. She whispered, “you’re about to marry Brandon.” And all the insane nerves that I had been feeling moments prior just seemed to melt away. Another tip for brides-to-be: cherish the little moments. You’ll never forget them.

So many brides go to the extreme on their wedding morning. And maybe that is the perfect way to start their day. However, I believe that simplicity is key. The less going on, the better. Take your time, savor the minutes with your best friends, and hug your family. Having my mom and sister such an integral part of my morning was so special, and I’m really glad that this start to my wedding day was on the calm and quiet side.

If you’ve gotten married or been in a wedding, what was your favorite part about getting ready for the day?

    These photos are absolutely beautiful. Before the wedding, I had so many people tell me that the morning goes by so quickly. But, I had the exact opposite feeling. The morning felt so slow, peaceful and calm. It was such an awesome feeling to not have any stress while getting ready that morning. I enjoyed having that slow time SO MUCH, and it gave me the time to reflect and enjoy every single part of the day.

    Very pretty photos! I loved getting ready in the morning before my wedding. I put together a fun playlist, so we all sang along and did each other’s hair and make-up while drinking apple cider mimosas. So much fun!

    I remember my getting ready morning, and I definitely remember it as starting off calm and slow and then there was a big rush at the end. I thoroughly enjoyed everything, but I wish we had gotten up earlier to give us some more time.

    These photos are absolutely beautiful. Before the wedding, I had so many people tell me that the morning goes by so quickly. But, I had the exact opposite feeling. The morning felt so slow, peaceful and calm. It was such an awesome feeling to not have any stress while getting ready that morning. I enjoyed having that slow time SO MUCH, and it gave me the time to reflect and enjoy every single part of the day.

What's the next backlist book on your TBR? 📖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a huge fan of reading backlist books and this year, that has primarily come in the form of rereading my favorites 🫶🏼 I've finished my rereads of the Shades of Magic, Shadow and Bone, and The Hunger Games series - and I'm continuing my rereads of Six of Crows, Renegades, Strange the Dreamer, and All the Stars and Teeth 🙀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next up on my backlist TBR:
 ☕️ Legends & Lattes (FINALLY - been waiting for this library hold for what feels like a thousand years)
♾️ Stealing Infinity (I received a copy of this from Entangled but it's been sitting on my shelf far too long.. it's time to dive in)
🐍 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (after my THG reread, I'm ready to jump into this to prep for the upcoming film)
🎤 On the Come Up (I started craving more Angie Thomas after Concrete Rose so this was the natural next step)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? 👆🏼

This book - whew - it's heavy and haunting and simultaneously so beautiful and hopeful ✨ I've truly never read anything quite like it and I know I'll want to revisit it time and again, especially when I find myself struggling with the negative voices in my head 🤎 (Please note the content warnings before beginning your journey into this incredible story)

Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎 My mom ca Recommend your favorite mysteries! 🔎

My mom can confirm that when I was younger, I was constantly gobbling up mystery books 📖 As I got older, I found that so many books labeled as “mysteries” for YA and adults were more like thrillers - focusing on suspense and fear, rather than sleuthing (not my jam) 🙈

Now, I’m realizing that I must have just been looking in the wrong places for good mysteries, because they’re definitely out there 🙌🏼 I absolutely devoured The London Séance Society - enjoying the way it blended historical mystery, a healthy dose of suspense, and wild fantastical elements into just over 350 pages 🔮

Have you read this one yet? 🕯️

How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do YOU cure a book hangover? 🥴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever since I finished my reread of the Shadow and Bone trilogy, I've found it so hard to get into anything else and all I want to do is just drop my entire TBR and continue rereading the rest of the Grishaverse 🫶🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Y'all, the S&B obsession is so real (again) for me right now and I don't know if tomorrow's premiere will help soothe me or make things even worse 🙈 Oh, who am I kidding? 😅 It’s gonna make me a thousand times more insufferable 🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've never been in a reading slump and I've only had a book hangover a couple of times, so I'm thinking that continuing with comfort reads of the same world/genre is going to be the most beneficial 📚 Off to open up Six of Crows next 🖤

GOSH, I could not be more excited for season 2 of the show to premiere on Thursday (I even rebooked a dentist appointment for this - and gave myself the day off work 🙈) And I think I’m somehow even more excited since Daisy Head gave me a shoutout on the Netflix IG page and Ben Barnes replied to my Q&A comment on Reddit 😱 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You all know Genya would be the first on my guest list, but of course, I'd also want to invite Alina, Jesper & Wylan, Tamar, and probably Inej as well 🙌🏼 And yes, yes, I'd love The Darkling to be there (if he can... behave himself? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or maybe even if he can’t 😏)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're looking for all the Grishaverse goodness, peep my blog for everything from merch (like my Sun Saint candle from @janzywaxco ☀️) to themed drinks (the Jurda Parem is my favorite 🍹) to a full dissection of The Darkling's character 🖤 And make sure to let me know what you're most excited for this season! 🫶🏼
