What I Read in April 2023
April was a whirlwind of a month, just like March. I only sat down on the first of May to write this post but actually finishing in the first weekend of May–oops! Looking back at the below list, I liked all of the books I read in April! FYI because I was out of town and traveling most weekends, more than half of the were audiobooks. THE UNFORTUNATES by J K Chukwu – 4 stars This debut provides a unique experience. The Unfortunates is a story of Sahara, a sophomore at Elite university who is consumed by her depression, which she endearingly calls her “Life Partner.” The narrative is written…

My Everyday Makeup Recently
Hello, friends! In today’s post, I’m sharing about the makeup products that have been in heavy rotation for me. I would say about half of the products, I have been using for a couple of years and the other half are new-to-me products! First things first, I wear sunscreen every day (though I could/should be better about reapplying throughout the day…) and my current favorite is EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46. It truly feels like lotion on the skin. I love it so much I stocked up on it during Dermstore sale recently and got a couple of extras just to gift to my family. FYI I like the…

What I Read in March 2023
Happy April, friends! I had a lot of things going on during March, both at work and in my personal life so it was a relatively slower reading month but nonetheless, there were some books I loved. Here’s everything I read last month: THE LOVE MATCH by Priyanka Taslim – 4 stars This YA romance is everything you want: a refreshingly unique premise with a Bangladeshi girl who is graduating high school soon and working at a restaurant to support her family; and a plot that remains exciting and dramatic, with a love triangle AND fake dating trope. I personally did not know a lot about Bangladeshi culture prior to…

Wedding Planning Update #1
After getting engaged at the end of last year, Alex and I made the deliberate decision to save all wedding planning for the new year. By end of January, we were struck with the realization we should probably start planning and making some decisions. I feel like we have gotten a lot of things done in the last month and a half though there is still so much to do! We have almost exactly 6 months to get everything done so fingers crossed. 😉 What we have done so far: What is on our to-do list: I know the list above is still missing a LOT but the way Alex…

What I Read in February 2023
HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS AND UNFAIRLY CUTE by Talia Hibbert – 4 stars YA romance from the author of the Brown Sisters trilogy, I had high hopes for Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute and I was not disappointed! Ex-BFFs Bradley and Celine have not spoken to each other in years since they’re big falling apart. In order to win a scholarship for university, they are forced to spend a lot of time together while camping out in the woods. This book was PRECIOUS. Bradley and Celine are nerdy in the most adorable way, and the enemies to lovers trope paired with their innocence was wholesome. The two narrator-s for the audiobook were…
