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.

After searching online, I found a blogger, Lollipuff , who posted an article on how to refurbish LV bags. Based on the recommendations in the post, I used the following products: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Blue Magic Metal Polish cream (tube) and Cadillac Boot and Shine leather conditioner. I also used laundry detergent and baby wipes. All of the products used can be used on any bag to spruce it up. Read on for the deets, to see how you can spruce up your handbag! Before At first glance, the bag had some sheen on the exterior. Most of the brass fixtures had green tarnishing (which happens with aging of brass). The leather handles were dull. The bag had lost some of its shape. The inside was the kicker! The red in...

Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face. ...
