HAPPY MONDAY, HAPPY NOVEMBER & HAPPY IT’S OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS SEASON!!! I’m already loving the cozy feels on TV and the cozy feels here in Florida ’cause the temps have been in the 50s to the low 70s all week. What a perfect introduction to the Holiday season. YAY US!!!!
ALSO… November’s “Amazon First Reads” are up! Which one did you choose? I took “Artificial Truth” (AI psych-thriller!! Eeeeeeep! Anytime we can learn about the scary things to be possibly be prepared for, I’m in!)
11:33am —> P.S. I’m still working on today’s list as we speak (I had a Drs appointment this morning – so a later start) but feel free to hang out, or keep checking back, as this list will grow. 😀
Three things:
1.) In fact, the Florida “fall” has been amazing for my garden. Green beans, cucumbers, radishes, and of course… all my bell peppers are thriving!!! It’s so fun having so many hobbies. I’m never board and most of them require the coziness of my own home. LOL!!! Plants, gardening, and reading. Pure, relaxing happiness, and all sorts of things to research in the process, which I love!
2.) I do wish I could get back to my more physical hobbies. Kayaking was something I did a TON (but I don’t have the vehicles to carry them around) and also paddle boarding was amazing. Remember when I was doing that? It really forced the fitness and it was so much fun. Also archery. I really just… should get back to at least one of those.
3.) I’m going to show you my latest and greatest skin care routine (and products) that, I guess we could say is my other “hobby” since I’m obsessed with researching all things “Korean skincare“. My skin is looking amazing, dewy and the routine is relaxing and something I look forward to every evening. That whole “skin flooding” and different layers of various products that do different things. I can cater it to my needs, change it up depending on the day and how much time I have, and it’s all unscented (which I LOVE). Fermented things, lactose things, barrier things, dandelion things, milky things, rice water things… I LOVE IT ALL!!!! Oh!! You know what I haven’t tried yet? The whole PDRN thing (salmon sperm??) Anyway… tee tee!! I use this Black Rice toner (who knew toner was important??? I NEVER used toner, it was always the thing that would go unused, in kits), I use this snail mucin serum, I also use this hyaluronic acid serum (it’s the first serum I layer on) & then I use this face cream (<— I also use the barrier cream in this brand but for some reason Amazon doesn’t sell it) – but here’s a popular barrier cream (I use one as my last layer), and this is my perfect face wash that I WISH was back in stock (the ingredients are incredible and my skin loves it cica, lacto, dandelion stuff etc etc.).
Okay now… time for BOOKS THAT JUST WENT LIVE!!!

Why did I do it? Because I had no choice. The Red Army was knocking at Dresden’s door, and the Jewish family hiding in our cellars had been marked for transportation to the camps. So we stripped the yellow stars from their clothing, hid our identity documents, and struck out west through the chaos with nothing to eat, nowhere to stay, and no plan at all...”
