August Gift Guide

 Are you in need of a gift this month? Well let's do some gift shopping.......

If you need a gift for the beauty lover, check out this beauty bag

Rosmax Beauty Bag is the perfect organizer for the friend (or you) who has a lot of products to organize.

If you need a home gift, try the 

Echo Show - I think the quarantine has made this even a more fun thing to own.  

You know what else we have needed while spending more time in our homes?

This 

Extended Charging cord and it's this month's idea for the guys on your list.

For kids on your list consider this

This paracord comes in several different color options and will be perfect to help carry around that hydroflask.

And lastly for that girlfriend who has a birthday this month

Apple Watch band......this one comes in several color choices, but I think this pink would be fun to give.

Hope that gives you some great ideas for you or a friend.

See you back on Friday!

July Book Review

Welcome to this month's book review.  Three good books for you this month.  It was a decent month with three good reads.  Let's get started

First up, 

A Good Marriage by Kimberly McCreight.  Essentially, there are a whole bunch of couples who interact with each other because of their kids, their jobs or mutual relationships.  Each admires one thing or another about the other's marriages.  But they all have hidden secrets, checkered pasts and some weird quirks.  When one of the moms is killed in her own home, the investigation will bring a lot of those things to light.  It is a twisted tale of connections that have all gone awry.  

Next up


The Light Over London by Julia Kelly.  I really enjoyed this one.  An estate sale leads to the discovery of a small box and journal.  This find identifies a small town girl who becomes one of the women helping with the war effort.  She has good friends, meets and marries who she thinks is her dream guy, and learns a lot about herself and about her misjudgment of other people. It has love, loss, more love.....an enjoyable read.

Lastly, this month



All Adults Here by Emma Straub.  Well the title says it all.  This family which consist of a mom and two adult sons and one adult daughter are making their way through life and encountering absolutely everything that could possible come up.  This is not a morally upright read, so just be prepared.  However, it is not overly descriptive in a graphic way.  I always need a character or two to resonate with and pull for.  This book has that, so I was able to enjoy the read. And it gave me an appreciation for those I call family.

Hope you are reading some good stuff too. 

Make it a great week!
