Read, Relax, and Repeat with Book Sparks' Self Care Tour!




Hello, Dolls

By now, you've heard me talk about my self care routine. I like to add to the routine so that I don't get bored with it and to make it fun.  Since I love to read, and I also work at a library; reading will always remain in my self care routine. I found a great self care reading challenge from Book Sparks!

Book Sparks is just as passionate about self care as they are about diving into a good book! They have created a reading list that is perfect for reading, and great for anyone who wants to start, reignite, and continue their self care routine.

Book Sparks' boasts that this list will help you fall back in love with self care! If you're like me, and you're looking for new, diverse books to read...Book Sparks' list is worth a look. I've looked at the titles of the books, and the one that I plan to read is Joy Seeker: Let Go of What's Holding you back so you can live the Life you were Made For by Shannon Kaiser. It becomes available on October 29th. I'm curious to see how I will like it.

Interested in the Self Care tour?

  • Go to Book Sparks website, and sign up for the pledge! 
  • Once you're there, choose the titles you would like to read! Then, support your local library, by signing up for a library card, (if you don't have one already) and check out the titles. Or, you can support the authors directly, by buying the books online or from their site.
  • Once you have the books, start reading, relax and repeat!

Well-Being: A Better Night's Sleep

  Hello, Dolls A good night's sleep is something I've been chasing after for years. Like many people, my nights can be chaotic. Not to mention, I've been suffering with insomnia for years, yes years.     It takes me a while to unwind and fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up several times throughout the night. I’ve taken several sleep aids and remedies through the years. I've tried teas, linen sleep sprays, over the counter and prescription aids, and almost every lavender night time product out there. Some were helpful at first, but after a while, I think my body got immune to it. So, I was very curious when Highline Wellness gifted me a bottle of their CBD Night gummies. I was skeptical at first, but they’re really working for me.  The melatonin helps you to fall asleep, and CBD helps you to stay asleep. I’m able to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer. An added benefit is I don’t wake up the next morning experiencing grogginess like I’ve felt with ot...

Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner Review

After promising myself to take better care of my hair, I read in a hair care magazine that if you have breakage or dry hair (like my hair) to consider purchasing a leave-in conditioner, since you don't have to rinse it out-the conditioner keeps on working and conditioning your hair. This was perfect for me because I'm really lazy when it comes to styling and taking care of my own hair... usually I look for products that are easy and quick to use. I do use Creme of Nature's Detangling shampoo, so I figured I would buy their leave-in conditioner. FYI- Creme of Nature is a brand that specializes in hair care products for women of color, who have natural or relaxed hair. They mostly use natural ingredients in their products, which they call "Certified Organic." Product Claims "Pamper your hair with this creme-based formula to soften, detangle, and provide the ultimate conditioning.  Perfect for color treated hair, organic  Lemongrass works to tone and hig...
