This pool bag essentials list will change the game for your next day spent by the water! Read more
Another month, another I-can’t-believe-all-these-books-were-read-in-this-same-month feeling. Haha, but seriously that always happens to me. It feels like ages ago that I read some of these from the beginning of June.
This was a pretty good and diverse month for reading. I knocked out some titles that have been on my radar for a good while, and that always feels nice.Read more

I had to go with a patriotic blue for this month, and the Taylor Swift lyric I chose is one of my favorites. I just love that I can get super niche with these and go full in on the Taylor Swift lyrics, and from what I see of the ones you all usually pick, the TS versions are the most popular each month.Read more

Another great month of reading! I know I start all these posts this way, but reading has just been so good for me in the past five months.
I felt like I hadn’t read much that this month, and a third of the way through the month I think I had only read seven books- which I realize is still a lot, but for me it’s not up to par with my usual 10+. I finished at nine, which I am still really proud of.

Every now and then I notice an uptick in my spending patterns, whether it’s because of an upcoming event, a season change, etc. Whenever this happens, I love to roundup everything here on the blog for a grab bag post of sorts.
