Inspired Beauty Products for the Harry Potter Lover in Your Life

By

Last year, my mum and I packed up some clothing and toiletries, and crossed the ocean. We went to Ireland and England with a pretty clear goal: Harry Potter. The trip was originally so we could go to Leaky Con, mashed with the vow that I made to myself while finishing the Potter series; I will be in England when Harry brings his kids to King’s Cross. While not everything worked out to a t (I was still in Ireland as the Hogwarts express pulled out of Platform 9 3/4), we did get to see a lot of Potter stuff, including Leaky Con. I came back with some phenomenal items, but some of the most practical are the beauty and cleansing products I bought.

The Princess Saves Herself in This One: Book Review

By

I’ve been reading a lot of fiction. It’s my favorite genre, and is usually easiest for me to read, because escaping into books can be truly wonderful. But sometimes, I need a little dose of nonfiction; a moment to live in someone else’s story. I picked up The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace not knowing what exactly was in store, but I’m glad I checked it out.

Top 9 Tips for Your First runDisney Event

By

As of writing this, I’ve run seven runDisney events. I have done two in-person half marathons, an in-person 10k, three virtual 5ks, and a virtual half marathon. Those three half marathons are the only ones I’ve done, and I did them all this year. Running is relatively new to me; I discovered my love of it about 2 years ago, and I’ve been doing it ever since. But there is truly nothing like a race through Walt Disney World, so I’ve got some tips to help you through your first runDisney event!

A Conjuring of Light Review

By

There are some books that you can read through, and be satisfied. There are others that we lovingly call page-turners. But, there are few books I’ve found that grab you by the shoulders and demand that you continue to read. These books that keep readers from sleeping, or doing other normal things like eating and showering are some of the most powerful creations to me. And V. E. Schwab has written at least three of these books. A Conjuring of Light is one of them.

Four days after the Essen Tach, Kell is in another London, chained, with his magic seeping out of him. Osaron is searching for a new host, and travels to Red London, attacking and using everyone. While I don’t want to get too detailed, I need to talk about this book, so let’s go for it.

A Gathering of Shadows Book Review (Spoilers!)

By

Oh my goodness, A Gathering of Shadows has me thrown. I absolutely adored the first book, A Darker Shade of Magic. And I actually took a break between reading that and this, the sequel. It was less than a week. But, I still felt like I was seeing old friends again, as I started this.

If you haven’t read the first book, I suggest you do so before “reading more,” because I’m about to spoil literally everything.

At the end of Darker Shade, Lila (our Grey London gal) was leaving. She and Kell had just saved Red London, killed the king and queen of White London, and shipped Holland’s seemingly dead body off to Black London with a super dangerous piece of magic. They had saved Rhy, Kell’s brother (and Prince of Red London). But, only by binding his life to Kell’s. This book starts four months after that.
