I slept in this morning and it felt so good. And by slept in I mean 7:30 because my body always naturally wakes me up early lol.

I want to open a little book shop that sells both books and flowers.📖💐🌷And there will be cats roaming around for the customers to cuddle with and enjoy while reading if they choose to do so.🐱 #reader #booksky

We can say we love God, but if we hate another or judge them as “less than,” we are liars. We can say we love God, but if we deem victims of abuse or people of another race or ethnicity as less than, we make it clear that we are liars, and the truth is not in us.

I see that Bath and Body works is already advertising their Fall collections.🍁🍂🎃It still feels really early but I’m not gonna lie, their stuff looks SO cute. I may have to get some.

Life hack: Replace your doomscrolling with reading a book.

10/10 reccomend. Your life will most likely improve.

Happy Sunday😇
One of my previous youth pastors shared this quote on IG yesterday that really stuck with me. It said, “People are really good at seeing your problems, but God happens to be really good at seeing your potential.”

Absolutely love it.🙌🏼

My husband and I got all our grocery shopping done (3 different stores) before 11 am today. I was so tired after that I came home, ate, then took a nap lol.🤭

I went to make our grocery list and realized that our grocery run this weekend is going to be so much cheaper than normal. We stocked up on so many items when they were on sale that for this run we won’t even need as many items as we usually do.🙌🏼☺️

I really need to start reading earlier in the evenings. Sometimes I’ll start reading before bed and I’m immediately dozing or unable to stay awake.😴Or maybe it’s just the fact that reading just relaxes me that much? lol.

Waiting on God is never done in vain🪻💜Waiting on Him produces growth, strength, and ultimately blessings. He is faithful.

I wish I lived in a city that has reliable and safe public transportation. Train, bus, subway, etc. Sometimes it just seems so much more convenient than having to drive everywhere and constantly sit in traffic.

I love living so close to a Kroger lol. It’s so convenient.

I’m watching my husband replay Hogwarts Legacy and I forgot how cozy this game was. It gives fall/winter vibes.🍂🍁☺️

It’s actually pretty cool how much my body has changed since hitting my upper 20s/lower 30s. All of a sudden, I’m able to hold on to weight and muscle mass easier? And I build muscle quicker? As a slimmer petite girlie, I love it here.🥹💕🙂‍↔️

Started rewatching Pretty Little Liars again.🙂‍↔️It’s one of my comfort shows.

Time to go on a book buying ban for a couple of months. Most likely until my birthday (mid August). I have so many unread books on my shelves and I really need to read those before buying anymore new ones.

My face is still looking and feeling so good from the facial my sister gave me this weekend.💅🏼🙂‍↔️

An ice cold room at night is the only way to sleep lol. Both AC and fan on.

I’ve been reading so much more lately and I really love that for me. #reader

My little sister came over today and gave me a facial🥰💗🌸It was so relaxing. My skin looks and feels so good now.

The book that I put in my local Little Free Library was gone when I visited it today. It makes me happy knowing that someone is getting great use out of the book I put in there.🥰 #reader

Book haul from the past couple of weeks.🫶🏼I got all of them on sale. All of them have fairly good reviews on Goodreads so I’m curious to see how much I end up enjoying them.

I think all of us readers can stand in solidarity and say that we hate when bookstores put stickers on books!!😅😵‍💫I bought some books this week and went to remove the price tags and it left an annoying sticky residue. Lowkey one of my pet peeves.

Due to today being a holiday, (happy Juneteenth, btw🤎) my whole week is about to be thrown off lol. I’m not going to remember what day it is.😋

Got up early and got our workout in before it got too hot.💪🏼☀️

Juneteenth stories to share with your young readers! 💙

In Christ, you are seen, known, and loved.♥️From one of my devotionals I’ve been reading each night before bed.

I was today years old when I found out that some airports have book vending machines.✈️ I love to see it. They need to make this a thing in all airports lol. #reader

Every time I go to the book store and I go to buy a book, I never buy the first book in the stack. I have to physically go through each of the books and see which one is in the best condition lol. I don’t like bent pages, marks on the cover, etc.🫣 #reader

I often think that the ability to easily explain suffering is the clearest indicator of never having suffered.
