THE PLAN: Read 1 book every 1st of the month and the second book on the 15th of every month! If I finish the 1st book early I am totally able to just move on to the next one specifically if it's a longer book! March is the only difference with the Hunger Games Trilogy being Read but the books average to a good amount of pages. So it would just be 1 of the trilogy books per 10 days, March has 31 days this year so it can be achieved ☺️🌟 it's a way to stay motivated AND I picked these books out of sampling over 500+ books on the first 3 pages of each all of 2025. I SPENT THE ENTIRETY OF LAST YEAR SAMPLING BOOKS FOR THIS REASON LOL the last thing I want is a silly reading slump 😌✨️💓 so made sure of that not happening. And I have a Youtube Channel where I will be personally reviewing all the books at their assigned month + a yearly wrap up with updated ratings and thoughts.

If it is not 100% a 5 star read for me it will not be making it to the list. I wouldn't want someone to waste my time and so I won't waste yours either. Only amazing books here.

I've been drawing [seriously & frequently] since August of 2018, as of right now it's been 7 years as of September of 2025. I've tried many marker pens, fountain pens, brush pens, regular ball point pens, fancy pens, etc. I love them all no doubt they're all great, yet I always prefer to draw with these specific BIC pens. BIC has many lines of pens, some look very similar to the "ROUND STIC M" ones, but these *almost* foggy looking tube ones are my chosen ones BECAUSE of an artistic decision I made very early on. Since the beginning of my art journey, I have built this philosophy on why I chose to stop using an eraser or erasable pencils to draw altogether... long story short... This special line of accesible pens are [ IN MY HUMBLE OPINION] the closest to a very forgiving "pencil" yet it is still AN INK PEN. When I use them with the slightest of hands they can go very faint and barely ever have that blot of ink at the start when you put any pen down because their ink is slightly "dry" and that is PERFECT for a pencil-buildable looking effect. They're very forgiving in my opinion and I can always build the pigment up, and I can just lightly dab any excess ink off at the start JUST TO MAKE SURE. I almost never need to AND the pen rarely ever skips ink. Listen I know that everyone's opinions may vary, everyone's experience might be different and sometimes people may get a batch that may for whatever reason be filled with 1 or 2 odd pens that aren't perfect 100% of the time. Even the most "fancy" pens have come out a bit off BUT at least in my opinion these pens have never failed me. They last soooo long and are light to carry everywhere, they're nice to hold and best of all they're VERY ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE. I always thought they could easily be expensive if they were covered in some fancy packaging but I am so grateful that BIC continues this line of pens because they're the best TO ME. I do have a stack of these and I continue to collect them every time I can buy more just in case & with the amount of pens I have now I will probably have enough for another 10 years haha 😌 ☺️ 😅 If you also want to start drawing in pen or just don't like carrying erasers and pencil sharpeners or too many tools then my way of drawing might just also be perfect for you. I wish you the best of luck on your Art journey AND your personal growth ✨️

I love it when I unintentionally or intentionally find a beauty product I love that also LASTS FOREVER! Products that I don't have to worry about refilling fast because a little bit of product goes a super long way. I don't love buying a bunch of products that do similar things, I often do extensive research on quality, results, lasting power, color, and how it sits on the skin. I am a QUALITY over QUANTITY girly everything because I like investing in products that are staples. Regardless of the price if it is GOOD (PERIOD) I will recommend it. Before I buy anything I watch HOURS of tutorials and reviews and then try them myself, I have found a few products by chance that I both love the quality over time AND that are long-lasting. I hope you have tried some of these yourself and can confirm in the comments 🌟🥰👑😃😇🌙💖😊

As a medium skin-toned girly this has always been my #1 choice for a lip liner for quality, lasting power and price. I've tried many high-end lip pencils. Charlotte Tilbury & Mac are some of my favorites too but every time I wear this nyx pencil in the color "EVER" I get THE MOST compliments. I can't help but want to gatekeep the color just so it doesn't get completely wiped since I already struggle finding this shade because it is so good. If you have tan skin and want a not-nude, not-brown but still noticeable "my lips but better" type of color that actually looks good on the lips and allows you to over-line your lips without it looking silly I highly recommend this one since it is creamy to matte. ✨️👋😊👋✨️

The MOST entertaining self improvement books I've read. I have hundreds of books in my self-shelf. I have a very overactive mind and get distracted easily so I was shocked when I read a book that holds my interest AND MAKES ME CRY? Self improvement isn't always very fun to read or emotion driven but this book [THE POWER OF HABIT] has some amazing stories of people who been able to fix their habits and how. Anyone from an over eater, to alcoholism, hoarding, nail bitting, and even NFL teams becoming an actual team. I am not big into football or even consume alcohol but I was surprised that both stories about it in the book were the ones that actually pulled at my heart strings and the book itself is teaching me what to do to CRAVE reading again. My life has improved so much since I started reading and it got my out of my life AND reading slump. If you're creative and business oriented I have many books I love but if I had to choose 1 book for your habits to go from automatic to intentional it is this one book and I will be re-reading it forever. Every recommendation I make is extremely thought-out and intentional. Every item here I've tried and loved myself, plus done exhausting research on similar things and picked them as "THE BEST CHOICE" 👌 for me and some of these items I've sat on FOR YEARS. Many of these items I've also personally read at Barnes or through a friend and eventually decided if it was something I wanted to truly buy for myself and the answer is always yes 😊, I hope you grow to like and trust my recommendations because I own every item in this list myself.
