  I like having a clock on my nightstand.  Do I need it?  Not really.  My phone is always near by, but I've always had one and just like having it there.  I never use it for an alarm.   I am a little embarrassed to say that until I recently got this I have had an old iHome as my clock.  Once upon a time I used it with my iPod as a speaker as well, but it has just become a regular clock for me.  I saw this clock on someone's Instagram story.  Maybe @alexajeanbrown? I decided it was time to upgrade. Super easy to set up and does have an alarm function if you do want an alarm clock.  The best part?  2 USB ports on the side so I can plug my phone charger into it.  The mirror look is so sleek and modern and you can change how bright you like your numbers.  There is also an auto brightness setting.  You can get it with a white or black base.  It's currently $20.59 on Amazon and there's a 20% coupon, so it's $16.47.  You can get it here .

  I was scrolling through Netflix one night and was looking at recently added and saw the trailer for Things Seen and Heard with Amanda Seyfried.  It looked good and then it said based on the book.  For me, it means I have to read the book first.  I went and found it on Amazon after some searching as the title is not the same, but boy am I glad I did. A young couple moves to a farmhouse in a small, quiet town.  They got the farmhouse for a very good deal, as the house had some unsettling history.  As time passes and Catherine's marriage falls apart, she also learns the dark history of the house. I don't want to write too much and give any spoilers.  I got through this pretty quickly.  I love a book with secrets and twists.  I have not watched the movie yet.  I will do a post once I do.  

  So last month I had a wedding to go and I had planned on rewearing a dress.  Unfortunately, when I put it on, I wasn't loving the way it looked.  I will be completely honest and say I am paying for being lazy during quarantine.  So I started hunting for another dress.  I absolutely love the way the tulip hem looks and found several dresses, but they were way more than I wanted to spend.   I decided to check Amazon and found this dress.  Adjustable straps and it was beautiful.  It was $39.99 and has a 5% coupon, so I ordered it.  I wasn't expecting much and was planning on it maybe not looking nice enough for the wedding.  I was so surprised.  It looked way nicer than I expected.  It fit me perfect.  I normally am a small or medium.  I ordered a small and just adjusted the straps. Ok so day of the wedding.  Super comfortable, looked amazing.  But the slit in the front is a true slit.  There is no lining under there.  And it was windy.  I had a small crossbody clutch and ended

For a few weeks I kept seeing people wearing this black swimsuit.   It honestly looked flattering on everyone and I've been in the market for a full piece bathing suit with good coverage.  I found it on Amazon for $32.99.  It had great reviews and it also had a ton of other colors and patterns.  To be perfectly honest, I am not a plain black swimsuit kind of gal.  I'm the one wearing lots of bright colors.   I found this option which was backordered at the time.  I waited for it though and am so glad I did. The rainbow straps give it just the right amount of flair.  The straps are a nice solid elastic and don't slip at all.  It covered just the right amount and I was super comfortable in it all day.  I ordered a medium in this.  I am normally between a small/medium, but I didn't want it to be too small in the wrong places. You can find it here .

  I have legit tried so many hair ties. I have thin hair and I never can seem to find one that lasts or that doesn't leave horrible creases in my hair.  I had most recent been using the plastic springy ones.  I'm not really sure what they're called.  But they always stretched out so easily.  I saw these on @ darylanndenner Instagram story and decided to give them a shot.  I'm hooked and I've gotten my sister hooked as well.  I got a 50 pack on Amazon for $6.99.  The only downside I will say is they only come in black.  I would have preffered brown or a blonde color.  But they last, I've only used like 2 in a couple months and it leaves a slight crease only if I put my hair in a tight ponytail.

  Get that expensive look for less!  I love the look of under counter lights.  I however am not very electrically inclined and I honestly didn't want to hire someone to come wire lights in.  I found these on Amazon with great reviews.  This is the 6 pack, but I believe you can get different sized packs depending on what works for you.  They simply adhere with a sticky adhesive included and Boom!  You're done.  You can either tap them to turn them on or they come with a remote.  They remote also allows you to dim them and put them on a timer.  Each light takes 3 AAA batteries and mine came with a set of batteries to start.  They are currently $34.99 on Amazon with a coupon for $10 off!
