Everything you need to go from a passive to an active reader.
She may seem like just a pretty face, but she is so much more. I made the mistake of rereading Twilight on my last beach trip and let me tell you, trying to hold that paperback open will definitely be a contributing factor to my future arthritis diag...
Botanical Page Holder
Are you a sustainable queen? Many of us are trying to avoid plastic where we can and find products made with natural materials. This alternative to the Botanical Page Holder I shared earlier on this is just that. All the functionality with the natura...
Wooden Page Holder
I love to annotate, its a new process and one that came with quite a bit of trial and error. Pretty much every highlight I tried would bleed through the page and just ruin my book. So I went to the bible girlies. Yep, I figure if they have a highligh...
Mr. Pen Highlighters
I actually discovered these in college and recently rediscovered them once I got into longer “deep dive” type non-fiction reads. I use these when I'm in a book club or discussion setting so I can write down key thoughts/questions right where I had th...
Post-it Transparent Sticky Notes
Mr. Pen, you have my heart. I don't just use thee for reading, I've gotten everyone in my office hooked on them too. They're great for long documents and planners (impromptu bookmarks in a pinch) and also for flagging different pages/passages in your...
Mr. Pen Self-Adhesive Transparent Index Tabs
One thing about the bible girlies, they are gonna find the PERFECT annotation tools. Once again, I found myself looking for a bleed-proof, smudge proof tool to up my annotating game and found myself back at their door looking at what they were using....
Sakura Pigma Micron Fine Pen Set
I am the kind of person that will buy a new planner and SWEAR this is the one that's going to change my life only for it to end up in the graveyard that is the bottom drawer of my desk. But I was gifted this when I first really got back into reading ...
My Book Club Journal
I know what you're thinking, those are for kindles and I'm a physical copy girl. Well, pump the breaks because so am I and let me tell you, I didn't want to like it but now I won't travel without one. I always take a book on the plane, but have had q...
Daisy Embroidered Book Sleeve
A slightly more versatile option for a book sleeve, this one allows me to include my book journal, highlighter and pen and keep it all in one place; safe from the rest of the projectiles in my bag.
Book Protector Sleeve
Okay, Okay last one I swear, but come on with a ZIPPER….add to cart!
Padded Book Sleeve With Zipper
I love when merch isn't TOO overt. Give me a reference, a little subtlety, give me something that makes the world feel real in a way. Every Paperback Princess needs at least a couple book marks, so why not find one that feels like a memento from the ...
Hunger Games Inspired Bookmark
Shameless plug - I own 3 of these and bought 2 more for my sisters. My personal faves are of course the tickets to the two shows, but the dragon snaps one is too good. Again, I love merch that feels like a memento/ references the IP without being too...
Coraline Inspired Bookmark
Okay, I also own these, but its because I'm usually juggling a couple of books at a time and these fit in my purse so if I start something new while I'm away from home, I can grab one and go. Plus they're personanizable, so if you're in a book club o...
Personalized Magnetic Leather Bookmark
If you are not about the Journal life but still want to keep a reading log this is literally perfect. It's cute and a little unconventional and makes the perfect opportunity to humble brag about how well read you are.
Library Card Bookmark Reading Tracker
I am an anxious girl, and sometimes that means late nights where I can't sleep and I need a calming (screen-free) activity to put me in the right headspace. Not only do I not want to wake my partner by turning all the lights on, but that would also m...
Reading Book Lamp
Self-Care Supplies
Because life is for living not just surviving. Reward yourself, you're worth it.
I am on my phone and laptop far more than I would like to admit. So when I'm reading, I'm trying to break the habit of sitting in that same “text neck” position. The best way to combat that? Tummy time. Yep. Like a giant infant, laying on your belly,...
Memory Foam Pillow Jumbo
I got these as a birthday gift about 5 months ago and I swear, these are truly a game changer. Loud trains, people clacking away on a keyboard, or even just a headache, I'm reaching for these. I'm not trying to kill my earbuds battery or wear my bulk...
Loops Earplugs
Ughhh life is so much better with a heat pack. Throw this baby in the microwave for a couple minutes and then wrap yourself in it for some DIY aroma therapy and relaxing heat. There is seriously nothing that can instantly relax me quite like sitting ...
Rosemary Lavender, Eucalyptus Peppermint or Unscented Heat Pack
This ever happen to you? You go to reach for your drink and miss only to spill it on yourself or worse on your desk and it just gets all over your papers. Well no more. I swear by Contigo, its available literally everywhere, is quite literally indest...
Contigo West Loop 20oz Stainless Steel Travel Mug Black
This has become part of my self-care Sunday ritual. Is she a need? No. Is she essential? 1000% Like I said, reading isn't just a hobby, it's an act of self care. So wash your face and get all 3 masks in one. A little face mask, a little eye mask AND ...
Eyes, Lips, Face Relax and Mask Kit
Take those socks up a notch by adding a repair balm. Skip the single use foot mask and instead use this. My go to in the winter especially, but also when I want to make my me-time a little more luxurious.
Foot Repair Balm
Adding to our self care experience, you can't beat a cozy sock. The added benefit here is that you are getting the benefits of the aloe and Vitamin E infused into the socks. Such an easy way to cozy-fy a night in.
