HAPPY MONDAY!!! WHAT A FUN & EXCITING PRIME DAY WEEK. I definitely took advantage of the deals (as I do every year)but this time I focused on skin care stuff (and makeup that I’ve been wanting). I was even boring and practical and bought my favorite laundry stuff, like the Lysol Laundry disinfectant & Tide scent at an amazing price. How could I not? 😂 I’m actually shocked I didn’t buy any plant stuff, but I feel like I’ve got everything covered for now, on that. If you missed outdoor forgot to get something, here are Amazon’s Lightning Deals going on right now.
Three things:
1.) It took all day yesterday, but I put together this AMAZING post. I’m thrilled with it. 29 books and I’m adding more as I get recommendations:
2.) This weekend I watched some tried-and-true horror movies like Rosemary’s Baby (4 stars!! I was surprised it was in color – I always thought it was in black and white. Good creepy story but some characters were annoying!! Loved the ending), Smile 2 (5 star excellence!! Even better than the 1st one but I think the 1st was scarier – however the ending of Smile 2 rocked my world!!) & Talk to Me (OH YESSSS!! Excellent & unique story, my FAVORITE kind of trope – using an object to summon spirits and creepy as hell & this one hit it out of the ball park for me and that ending!!! Whoooooooo!!! 5 STARS!!). I already saw the last two, but they were even better the second time around now that I could pick up on all sorts of things. P.S. now you know where I got my horror addiction from. My mom used to hate watching scary movies alone, so she’d have me hang out with her while she watched them. She said the first time I ever kicked (when she was pregnant) was during a horror movie. I think it was “Carrie”.
Maryse: Right now I’m watching Rosemary’s Baby. Can you believe I’ve never seen it before?
My mom: That makes 2 of us lollll
Maryse: I’ve been your horror movie partner since I was little, and what fun it has been!
My mom: It sure has! I read the book Rosemary’s baby but I also have never seen the movie!
Sherry: I can’t watch scary movies, but I can watch crime documentaries and creepy videos on YouTube all day and be fine

3.) Today… while I work on tomorrow’s big list, I’m binging the Black Dagger Brotherhood series on Passionflix. I’ll let you know what I think. 😉 YAY ME!!!

The career she had planned was suddenly ripped from her grasp through no fault of her own, so she made her way home to Oceanside, the place that held such fond memories of her childhood. Reconnecting with her best friend was amazing, but their reunion was shorter than she would have liked due to an extended honeymoon her friend had planned previously.
Dali was more than happy to stay in her home while she was gone, but she hadn’t planned for that to include falling in love with the man across the hall...”
