How I doubled my Reading Goal last year!

Hi Dolls,

Reading is my favorite hobby. It's the perfect mental escape for me. I was able to double my reading goal last year, from 30 books to 60. Thanks to Goodreads for keeping score of my reading goal! If you’re looking for reading inspiration, here are a few tips that helped me and may inspire you:

Visit your local library: They have endless reading material and a variety of genres that will pique your interest. This is my shameless plug, because I work at a library. #librariesrock

Join a Book Club: I joined a book club last year. It’s one of the best reading decisions I’ve made. It has exposed me to reading genres and books I wouldn’t have gravitated to on my own.

Kindle Unlimited: If you don’t mind reading eBooks, Kindle Unlimited has an impressive catalog of reading material. Once you subscribe, they’ll send you suggested reads based on your reading history.

Net Galley: If you're a book reviewer, blogger or librarian, you can join and create a NetGalley account for free to review books, you’ll be sent free ARC’s (Advanced Reader Copies) for feedback.

If you're wondering how I find time to read, please read this previous post here. I share how I exchange my screen time for reading time.

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...
