Happy Manicure Monday everyone! Did you all see this week that a trailer was released for Scream 5?! (I don't think it will actually be called Scream 5, but it is coming out in January 2022!) If you haven't seen it yet, check it out - I love some of the little flashback older casts making cameos in new movie versions!

I'm actually a scary movie wimp (Nightmare on Elm Street and Candyman scarred me as a kid and I actually could not handle them); but, I have actually enjoyed all the Scream movies - it is my MAX limit of scary movie, so I will watch the new one when it comes out!) You might be surprised to know that I haven't watched some of the classic Halloween/scary movies because I'm too scared! 

Monthly Beauty Haul ~ September 2021

I always love these haul posts - it's a way to keep track of everything that I picked up every month. I don't always blog about everything I pick up (I try to), but if you ever spot anything in here that you really want me to talk about, let me know! 

Last year, I got a little crazy about trying to stick to a crazy budget and this year I'm just going to buy what I want and try and be reasonable about my purchases!

Five on Friday - July 31, 2020

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all have had a great week - we are back to the cabin tomorrow for a long weekend and I'm looking forward to it. Honestly, I get a little nervous on here when I say we are "travelling" but I want everyone to know that we are being very safe and respectful of where we are going and some of these little towns have "We Love Alberta" signs up because they get the majority of their visits from Alberta. We wear ours masks, stay socially distant and try and support local shops safely.

It's Summertime and I'm so excited to start diving in to my Summer reading list! (If you are a bookworm too and are on Goodreads, I would love to connect - you can find my Goodreads here!) I really love seeing what everyone is reading - I will read every genre and am always looking for more recommendations! I started the Summer reading lots of great YA books, but I've recently switched over to some romance books and they are just so easy to read and a nice break from some heavier content I have been reading too!
