All the products I have discovered and loved this month! From beauty to books and snacks! This was a great month for new things to be obsessed with.

My favorite lighting that creates the coziest environment in my home!

For nights when you really want to pamper yourself…which should be often! Cozy, luxurious, and serene!

I am very picky about my scents. I don't like smells that will give me a headache. I tend to gravitate towards beachy, earthy, citrusy scents. I basically want to smell like a mermaid, or what I imagine a mermaid would smell like.

items from Etsy that I have bought and LOVE! Some are my home favorites, or make the perfect gifts! All are well made and truly unique.

what I have been wearing every single day this summer. I am obsessed with all of these products!

All the skincare I've used, loved, and am obsessed with. A lot of these are perfect for people with sensitive skin as well. I am very conscious of what products I put on my skin and always try to find brands with good, clean, and non irritating ingredients.

if you need a perspective change look into these! These have all made me think much more deeply about life, nature, and humanity.

if you are lost and confused in your twenties this list if for you!

The fantasy I read HAS to check very specific boxes and all of these do! I don't find these cheesy, or too tropey. The writing is great, the plot is amazing, the worlds are very fleshed out!

My favorite new releases so far this year

Books that changed my life! No big deal! I have lived these characters. I have mourned them. I have loved them and they live in my heart forever.

A very hard list to narrow down but nonetheless these are my top reads of the year!
