I receive a lot of emails on any given day asking me if I’d like to review books that cover a wide array of genres, and usually, I can tell from the email copy if I’m interested. If you've been around my blog for a while, you know I love gardening and flowers and books- most especially, books about gardening and flowers! so of course I happily agreed to review and host a giveaway for a Garden for Grace, which is simply one of the sweetest books I’ve read in a long time.

My husband and I were recently invited to a unique, in-person screening of the latest Marvels Studio film: Thor Love and Thunder, and I will say right from scene one, we were entertained! I’d love to share some of my thoughts (no spoilers), before it opens in theaters tomorrow July 8, 2022.  

Thor Love and Thunder!

Things are heating up now that July is here my friends! My family and I are gearing up for a fun Independence Day weekend, so before I sign off for a little celebrating, I had to share this hot July giveaway. I've teamed up with the awesome Review Wire Media Team again to bring you a $200 DoorDash gift card giveaway! Just think of all the lunch and dinners you won't have to cook with that!

Summer is officially here and you may be looking for a low/no-tech activity for you or your kids. Why not try your hand at sewing? I learned the basics of sewing during a semester in Home Economics and from my Mom, but I am by no means a seamstress. I happily said yes when I was asked if I’d like to review The Ultimate Illustrated Guide to Sewing Clothes by Joi Mahon because I'd like to learn to sew.

As a blogger and digital content creator, I have the opportunity to try lots of new products that might not normally show up on my shopping radar. June has been bountiful in this department, so I thought it would be fun to start a new (to me) blog series Friday Five! Each month I’ll share five new products I think would be helpful to you as well. This month’s Friday Five is fun foods for summer. I hope you enjoy this new series and these product recommendations. 

 Even though it's officially Spring for a couple more weeks, it sure feels like Summer here in the Nashville, TN. area, so I'm keeping the summer good vibes going with another giveaway this week as part of the Review Wire Media team. Let's talk brows and skincare friends. I'm always open to trying new beauty and skincare products and sharing them with you and I think you are going to like what you see from Joy Beauty. Read on to see how to have brows that wow the Joy Beauty Brow and serum Duo. There will be two winners on this one! 

Recently, I started using coconut oil as part of my hand and nail care routine after receiving a big container of it from Viva Naturals, along with their MCT oil, which I wrote about here. I’ve used coconut oil in the kitchen for years, but for some reason, I hadn’t ventured into adding it to my self-care routine, but after seeing and feeling the moisturizing results of just a bit of this delightfully scented coconut oil on my hands and cuticles, I wanted to find more uses. Today, I’m sharing four ways to use coconut oil in your self-care routine, so you can enjoy a little TLC at home as well.
