The Summer I turned Pretty by Jenny Han

-

Image result for the summer i turned prettyJenny Han is currently most known for her book "To all the boys I've loved before" which is now a Netflix phenomenon. However, it isn't the first book of hers I fell in love with. "The Summer I Turned Pretty" is my all time favorite novel and leads into a trilogy I've read over and over again countless times! This is definitely my go-to for a romance that doesn't come easy, requires some crazy twists, turns and a whole lot of patience.

 The series starts off with a great breakdown of the summer context, families, friendships and never ending teen crushes. Little do readers know- I mean now you'll know- that those teen crushes are going to take you on a roller coaster of loss, pain, beauty, friendship, and A LOVE TRIANGLE YAS! The twists and emotions in her writing make me laugh and cry, even though I've already read the books fifteen times and know what's coming. 

 Anyone looking for a Summer romance that will take you for a wild and unforgettable ride, check out these amazing books, and PLEASE Netflix, give me a movie!!!!

 PS. I love Jenny Han in case you didn't notice.

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We didn't buy the

Low budget Fall (lockdown) date ideas

Hey gems! How is everyone doing? Recently I have had to get super creative when it comes to date nights especially with the new lockdown we are limited in where we can go. So of course date night often include walks because not only is it great to get fresh air but it helps with the mental components of being stuck inside. We get tired of them quick though and need to mix it up during the week so here is what I came up with! Turn TV into games: You can chose any show or movie you are watching and turn it into a game! For example, every time a certain character says their catch phrase you either take a bite, drink or do something silly that you both agree on! it can be something silly or answering any question! This basically gets as creative as you want to! Newlywed game (quiz) Basically any type of quizzing each other on how well you know each other! We did this with my sister and her boyfriend as a competition but it can be fun just between the two of you as well! This is super cute

Wedding planning

Hello hello beautiful people! My goodness it feels like a lifetime has passed since I last typed onto this page. I have had a tone of TikTok success and I won't lie, it took all my attention! Lately my life revolves around my full-time job, wedding planning and trying to save money... not easy considering the wedding planning.  Here are some high level updates as to our wedding planning and stay tuned for a tone more updates and wedding content coming! 1. The venue, the vendors and the plan are all set! I was pretty lucky that my fiancé and I had a very similar vision for our wedding- a big vision. Unfortunately, we were a bit naive as to what the cost of that would be, but we are certainly learning to plan and save money more than ever. It is also the first time we are in situations where we need to decline plans because they are simply too expensive. Overall, the quick first months of engagement were really successful in planning and locking in location, vendors and putting down
