  Nina Riva had lived a difficult life for how young she was.  She and her siblings never had it easy despite who their father was, but at least they had each other.  And one thing that stuck was their party.  It has started off when they were young, just locals attending, but had continued once Nina found her fame and now it was the party to be at.  This year would be no different, but none of them would be the same by the end of the night. This was the perfect, quick, summer read.  It's been rainy here so I think I read it in 3 days.  I loved the story and loved the format, hour by hour.  I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.

  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 ...

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.
