My Search for Camping Gear for Summer 2026- How the Search is Going and Changes in Plans

Earlier this year, I wrote two posts about my search for and desire to buy camping gear, specifically camping chairs and a tent or canopy. Since I wrote those posts, the time I consider the peak summer time period (Late May through mid July) has passed. Because time has passed since I wrote those posts, I want to write an update post about my search for camping gear.

Skylar Boardwalk Delight Fragrance Review (With The Summer I Turned Pretty Limited Edition Packaging)

It’s fall now, except if you’re waiting until the fall equinox. Then it’s the very last days of summer! Anyway, no matter what season you consider it, I still have one last fragrance to review from Skylar Clean Beauty’s The Summer I Turned Pretty limited edition packaging.

In my previous Skylar Clean Beauty fragrance reviews, I reviewed the other two fragrances with The Summer I Turned Pretty packaging. (You can read them here and here) The packaging was in honor of the second season of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Now that season three is out, it’s time to review the last fragrance in Skylar Clean Beauty x The Summer I Turned Pretty collection.

Bath and Body Works Fireworks Pop Shower Gel and Fine Fragrance Review

The 4th of July is next week. For me, this time of the year means I’m usually staying inside to escape the heat of summer! Even though I normally stay inside whenever possible, I still try to celebrate the holiday and summer in general no matter  if I’m inside or not.

One of the ways I tried to celebrate the 4th of July is by using certain beauty and self care products. I isn’t much, but it is something I notice and enjoy. One of my favorite beauty product to use for this reason is Bath and Body Works’ Fireworks Pop Shower Gel. I noticed I never publish a review post about the shower gel, so I decided to write a review post about one of my favorite beauty products for summer. I will also talk about the fine fragrance version of it.

Skylar Capri Summer Fragrance Review

I have many beauty brands I love and highly recommend. One of them is Skylar. Skylar is a clean beauty fragrance brand. I discovered it many years ago while searching for new beauty companies to try. I was specifically searching for brands with hypoallergenic products. Skylar was one of the one I discovered.

After trying it for the first time, I quickly became a fan of the brand. I still enjoy their fragrances and enjoy the relief of using a fragrance that isn’t going to aggravate my allergies.

Summer has started and it’s time to bring out my favorite summer fragrances. Since I’m in a summer state of mind (Fragrance wise) I wanted to review one of my favorite summer fragrances from Skylar: Capri Summer.

Book Review: What Happens After Midnight by K. L. Walther

When I read K. L. Walther’s novels for the first time, I felt very conflicted. The first novel I ever read by her was The Summer of Broken Rules. I wrote a review about the book here.

The Summer of Broken Rules was, and still is, a book I feel conflicted about. On the one hand, I like her writing style. On the other hand, I hated the amount of Taylor Swift references, which is what it is famous for. When I heard Walther wrote another novel, I was curious about it. I was hopeful I would enjoy this novel more and here writing style would shine through more. With this hope, I decided to read it.

AQUA x The White Lotus at Bloomingdales Collection Favorites (As a Non Fan of The Series)

As you have probably read by the title of this post, I’m not a fan of the series The White Lotus. When people describe themselves as “not a fan” of something, it can me different things. For me, I didn’t watch The White Lotus, so I think it’s dumb of me to to claim to be a fan of a series without actually watching it.

Despite this, The White Lotus is popular and currently has three seasons. In honor of the release of the third season, clothing brand AQUA created a collection inspired by The White Lotus. It is also available only at Bloomingdale’s.

For the past few weeks, I received emails from Bloomingdale’s about the collection. Since I don’t watch the show, I initially passed on looking at the collection. Recently, out of curiosity, I decided to browse it to see if there were things I’d want to own if I was a fan of The White Lotus. Much to my surprise, I did find clothing, shoes, and accessories that caught my eye and would wear no matter if I am a fan or not. I decided to compile all my favorite items in the collection in a post to talk about what I like about them.

Bodycology’s Cozy Fireside S’mores Collection

Earlier this month, I discovered Bodycology released a limited edition collection for fall. I originally saw it at Walmart beside the seasonal Softsoap fall collection, but it was moved to the Bodycology section of the store. I saw it again after it moved and discovered there is an additional product in the collection that wasn’t available the first time I saw it.

5 Things That Remind Me of Summer

It’s summer time and everything is reflecting it. The summer temperatures are here, pools are open to swim in, and school is out. Even though it is summer, it is also a time when certain things are more common than others. Like many people, there are certain things that remind me of a certain season. Even though they are common in other seasons, they remind me of summer more than other time of the year.

To celebrate this season, I created a list of five things that remind me of summer. Certain things are also common in other times of the year, but these are the ones that remind me of the warmest time of the year!

My 2024 New Summer Home Decor Lemons “Theme”: What I’m Doing, How I’m Doing It, and Why I’m Doing It

I’m not someone who likes to follow trends unless they work for me. This is especially true when it comes to home decor. I like what I like and if I spend quite a bit of money to surround myself with these things, I want to keep them for a long time. This is why choosing a new “theme” for this year’s home decor was abnormal for me. Especially since the them is lemons!
