Book Review: The Retirement Plan

 I am way overdue for a book review, so let's get into the last book I read! I started this book back in the summer I think but didn't finish it until we were on our Las Vegas trip. I promise I didn't get bored of it- I'm just a bad reader these days! I loved this book! It felt very Desperate Housewives to me, and if you know me, you know how much I love DH! Without giving away too much detail, The Retirement Plan by Sue Hincenbergs centers around three wives who plan to cash out their husbands' life insurance.....in quite a creative way. This book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat, and I wanted to keep reading after it was over! I was like wait....there's no sequel?? Hahaha Some of the characters work in a casino, so I thought it ended up being perfect that I was reading it in Vegas! It was filled with both humor and crime, so that's where it felt like Desperate Housewives to me! Friendship, marriage struggles, dark humor....it has all the goods! I ...

Currently: February 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! It's time to link up with Amy for Currently! Today we are talking about the things we are currently loving, baking/cooking, watching/reading, planning, and savoring. Loving. Linen scent. I got this linen scented candle at Costco last summer, and I am really loving the scent right now. It obviously smells very fresh and clean, and I feel like that's the perfect scent for the new year! It's also close to being gone, so I am planning to use the votive as a flower vase. Baking/Cooking. I've been trying to cook more lately! We actually just got in a Hello Fresh box yesterday. I will update on how the meals were later this week or next! Watching/Reading. Watching Desperate Housewives and Schitt's Creek, and I have fallen off the wagon with my reading. Ugh! I need to step up my game. Planning. New York girls trip! Not sure when it's going to happen- may not even be this year- but I know what we're doing and where we're eating lol! Savoring. I...

Things I Find Incredibly Chic

 Happy Tuesday! Ok I have been seeing posts like this on blogs and Tik Tok, so I wanted to make my own! I am certainly no expert and do not do these things all of the time, but here are a few things I find incredibly chic! Matching PJ sets I don't know about y'all, but I feel so put together when I wear matching pjs. Like, I just imagine Princess Catherine wearing a matching set to get in bed....lol. My favorite brand is Lake! White tshirt under a sweater or sweatshirt Don't ask me why, but I just find this chic. I saw someone on Instagram do this and loved it. I think it mostly makes me feel like I have my life together. Even if no one else sees it, I know it's there. Mixing metals I am a metal mixer all day every day. I used to work in a jewelry store, so I saw people constantly either mixing metals or refusing to and I just felt like the people open to mixing where so much cooler. Lotion by your bedside Putting on lotion at night is one of my favorite things ever. Mo...
