This week seems to have gone by in a blur and that’s all thanks to it being a shorter work week! Since last weekend was pretty jam packed, I’m looking forward to a bit of relaxing. I wanted to share a few things that had me smiling this week! It’s a bit of a hodge podge, with some book recommendations at the end as well!

We were blessed with two absolutely gorgeous days here in the city! 70’s, sunny and perfect! Of course it was just a tease because following the “heat” we got snow! Perfect reminder that it’s still February and still winter! Has me looking forward to our trip to Florida in April even more now!
New Primer ||
New Primer ||
I spotted this primer in Sephora a couple weeks ago and I had never heard of the brand before. I’m a sucker for packaging and really liked the price so I asked for a sample and used it for a couple of days. After seeing how much smoother my makeup looked, I picked up the full version from Amazon! I’ll have a full review in a couple of weeks, but based on all the other reviews I’ve read I don’t think I’ll be disappointed!
A few recent reads ||
A few recent reads ||
Now That You Mention It || Kristan Higgans normally writes more lighthearted romantic comedy like books and this was a bit of a departure from her norm. With that being said, I really enjoyed all of the characters, especially Nora the main character and doctor from Boston. After having a brush with death, she decides to head back home to Maine to recuperate in more ways than one. There’s plenty of backstory given to explain the strained relationship with her sister and mom & most of all the author still gives me the the romance that I crave! I definitely recommend this book!
69 Million Things I Hate About You || Based on Nadine’s recommendation I decided to read the two book series by Kira Archer. Personal assistant Kiersten wins the lottery, but instead of just quitting her job for her sometimes overbearing, but incredibly good looking boss, she decides to see how far she can push her luck before he fires her! There’s more than a bit of chemistry between the two and there was just enough passion without being raunchy or dirty! I definitely enjoyed reading the book and thought the banter between Kiersten and Cole was fresh, but not unrealistic!
The Billionaire’s Unexpected Baby || The second book in the Billionaire series and I actually liked this one more than the previous book. Brooks is the playboy who is never ready to settle down, but he meets Leah who is pregnant and of all things a teacher at a catholic school! They make an arrangement to get married so that she can keep her job and of course what neither of them was expecting was to actually like being married to each other. Of course there is the issue of the baby daddy and what will happen if he comes back in the picture! I really liked that the characters from the previous book also made a lot of appearances in this book so you got more of an epilogue from the first book than you were expecting! Fun, flirty and easy read! Perfect if you’re headed on a vacation!
Hope you have a great weekend friends!
All these books sound so fun! I sure wish I’d win the lottery- ha! I’ll definitely be checking these out. Have a relaxing weekend!
The weather was so nice here in DC this week too! It's hard to believe we hit 80 in February! Of course, now it's raining and cold haha! You always have the best book recommendations — I will have to check these two out, too! They do sound like good vacation reads. I just downloaded Wasted Words so I'm looking forward to reading that! Enjoy your relaxing weekend, Biana!

That Primer is a really good price! You always find the most interesting books! Those all sound good. Have a good weekend, girl!
I thought about you when I heard how beautiful it was this week in Boston. That Kristin H. Book sounds so good! Enjoy a sweet and laid back weekend!
I'm glad y'all have been having beautiful weather. Can you send some to Texas please? I'm about a day or 2 away from building my own ark.
Those last two books sound right up my alley! And I am excited to read your review on that product – I have no idea where to start when it comes to primer, and would love a good rec! Happy Friday!
Thanks for sharing girl! I'm really interested in that primer! sounds amazing!

That first picture is gorgeous! It has been raining here for a full week and it's just so depressing! I'm ready for those 70's temperatures that are our month or so of Texas's "spring!" 🙂
Looks like you guys got a really beautiful 70 degree day! Ya the snow snapped me right back into reality lol. I keep adding more Kristin Higgins books to my reading list because everyone is recommending them! Have the best weekend relaxing girlfriend!

I always need new primer recommendations! Can't wait to see your review on it. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I need a new primer! Looking forward to seeing your review on that one!
We had two nice days like that, too, and I soaked them up for sure! Okay I must try that primer! Can't wait for your review!
I always forget to try primer – I may have to add that to my Amazon list
The weather is crazy down here too! It was warm when I left for work one morning this week and when I went outside to leave it was in the 50s! Talk about crazy! Hopefully the spring weather will be back in full force soon! I hope you have a great weekend!
I am glad that you were able to enjoy that beautiful weather!! Hopefully it returns soon for you too! Then maybe it can make its way here haha. That first book sounds really good and I am looking forward to hearing your review on that primer. Have a great weekend!! 🙂
I actually forgot that Monday was a holiday and that this was a short week. It felt short at the start and then by today Im like, Oh it was short??? haha. Such is life at work! GLad you've been finding some cute books!
Ahhh I am so glad you read and loved the Billionaire series. That girl knows how to write some characters, right??? I am adding Now That You Mention It to my list. You always have good recommendations. That packing for that primer is SO CUTE. And at that price, I am willing to give it a try. I feel like a lot of primers are way over hyped and I have never found one I loved so much that it became a regular in my arsenal, you know? Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
We have had the best weather in NC this week too! I hope y'all have a great weekend!
The warmer weather sounds awesome! It's been warm where i live too, and it's the best.

I know! The weather was absolutely amazing! I had Aviah out all day long on both days and she was loving it, lol! Now we’re back to cold, rainy weather. But, it makes me hopeful for the glorious weather we’ll have soon enough. I’m glad you ended up liking that primer, I can’t wait to read your thoughts. As for the books, that last one sounds like a great read! Thanks for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you have a great weeekend!

The weather has been SO good! We've been walking every night… maybe that darn groundhog was wrong after all! 50-50 chance he's right, you know what I'm saying?! 😉 XOXO, R
The weather was nice here too for a few days! Now we are back to cold and rainy lol…but it was nice to get a glimpse of spring 😉

It was so warm here, too, for two days! It rained most of the time but we still enjoyed it!
As always, thank you for the book recs since we are heading away Sunday – I’ll be downloading all of these I’m sure. Hope you have a relaxing weekend, girl!
Please send some of that warm weather up my way, please! 🙂
Such a tease with the weather earlier this week! I'm ready for it to come.
So glad y'all got some nice weather! Such a nice break. Have a nice weekend!
I always love your pictures by the water! It's so beautiful. Come back nice weather, we all need you! Sierra~Beautifully Candid
I needed some new books to read. Thanks for the recommendations!
I'm always looking for a new Primer ! The one I have I like but don't love it ! I may try and get to Sephora soon and try this one out ! Have a wonderful weekend !
Yeah, I was definitely jealous of those warm days… and then it snowed. Absolute craziness. It rained all week here and I definitely felt the sunshine withdrawls in the worst possible way, lol. I don't know how you kids make it through winter.
Beautiful weather in Boston is the best especially since it was a winter wonderland only a few weeks ago! We were so blessed with sunny and cool days while visiting except the last day which was cold and crummy but we were heading to the airport so it didn't matter so much! Dying to visit again but so many more places are on my travel bucket list. xo Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
Thanks for Sharing this wonderfull post with us…we are waiting for your another post
