I love monthly favorites! These are some of my favorite videos to watch on YouTube. So, in addition to this blog post, I’m sharing my monthly favorites over on my YouTube channel. This way you can see the products as well as read a bit more in-depth about them.  Each month, I gather some of my favorite products to share with y’all. These products range from beauty and lifestyle to clothing and food/drink. I think this style of blog/vlog is fun because it gives people ideas about different things to try. So, without further ado, here are my October monthly favorites.

You never want love again, no matter what kind it is, because no type of love will ever be worth living through the ugly love again.”  If you’re a book nerd like me (and even if you’re not) you’ve probably heard of Colleen Hoover. If you haven’t, where have you been?? Colleen Hoover is a New York Times best-selling author of twenty-two novels and novellas. Her work falls under the categories of New Adult and Young Adult Contemporary and Psychological Thriller. I’ve heard her name and a lot about her work, mainly via BookTok, but I only just read my first book of hers this week, Ugly Love . A few of my friends recommended thi...

Wellness, as defined by a quick Google search, is “the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.” The reality of wellness is so much more than that now. Wellness has broken the internet. A simple search will yield numerous accounts that all document the daily lives of individuals all seeking wellness in their lives, myself included. Good for us.  But here is an idea. Unwellness. Let’s take a step back from the cultural phenomenon that has us all wrapped up in clean chocolate brands, raw cheese, expensive skincare, and other items that we spend our money on and ask ourselves, is wellness causing us to be unwell?  My journey has taken me down a road of costly products that are promoted to enhance my wellness. Not that there’s anything wrong with these products. In fact, I love most of them! But it’s time to get back to the root of what wellness really is… Taking care of yourself. With that being said, I’ve composed a list of five things I’m focusing ...
