10 Things That Make Me Happy!


.


With so much happening in the world right now, I'm happy to say the state I live in is (slowly) opening back up. 

I managed to get my nails, hair, and eyebrows all done! I had been looking ROUGH! 

However, I know many of you are still on lock down and it sucks! Yes, we are all still trying to be safe and healthy, but it still sucks! 

So, I thought about what makes me happy? It helps me keep my mental health straight! And who doesn't need THAT right now!

I want to hear from all of you about what makes you happy, too! Please sound off in the comments and let me know! 

My list:

1) Obviously, my family!

2) My friends. Even though I don't have many, the few I have all have special places in my heart.

3) Chicago Blackhawks. What? Did you think I would not add my favorite team?

4) Books! All of my books. It doesn't matter if they're hardback, paperback, or on my kindle. Books make me happy!

5) Podcasts. Many of you know I'm a true crime junkie! Legit! I listen to numerous podcasts and they all make me happy. My favorites are: Crime Junkie, True Crime All the Time, True Crime All the Time Unsolved, Cold Case Files, and the list goes on and on!






6) Cooking. I love to cook! I'm not the greatest baker, but I can cook, and I love too!





7) Makeup. O...M...G! I love makeup and have WAY too much of it. I have been watching Tati Westbrook for YEARS and she really taught me on how to put on makeup correctly. I adore her and if you haven't watched any of her YouTube videos, check them out. Click HERE!





8) Office supplies, especially PENS! Oh, you can't even understand my love of pens. I have more pens than anyone person should own and - I may have -purchased more! I can't help it. Don't even get me started on Post-its. 







9) My Planner. When a new year rolls around, I get excited when all the new calendars/planners come out. Oh, there are no words I can express about how much I love to shop for a new planner. Sure, I could move into the 21st century and get a digital one, but NOPE ... I want a big, fat, full of stickers/notes/markings planner! 


10) My readers. I love hearing from you all and (it doesn't matter if it's good or bad) what you think about my books. The mere fact you take time out of your busy life to read my books, mean more to me than I can every tell you.

Now, tell me yours!

My favorite movies and why I love them so much!

Image
I love to watch movies! Probably too much, but I love to watch movies. Like books, they can touch you in some way and impact your way of thinking. Some make you laugh; some make you cry; some make you think, and some bring back the best and/or worst memories.  Let's begin with my list ... 1) Harry Potter    I have loved Harry Potter since the day I read the first book, in the early 2000's. A friend had recommended it to me and from the first chapter I was hooked. I even have a HP tattoo! When the announcement came regarding the movies, my heart sank. Come on, we're all Boo Nerds and sometimes the movie just ruins it. (Need I remind you about Percy Jackson  😒😒😒 ) However, when the first movie dropped, I was there with my overpriced popcorn ready to be transported to Hogwarts! Needless to say, I love them. Yes, there are changes from the books to the movie, but not enough for me to really complain about. And I still watch them to this day!  2) Gone with

Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

    It seems like forever since I have written a book review. Do I even remember how to? Let's give it a shot!!! I received this book from my Book of the Month pick and am I happy I did. Wow, this book is a true page turner. I read it in one sitting.  What I loved: Taylor Jenkins Reid truly knows how to keep a reader engaged. I figure this book was going to be an Elizbeth Taylor knock off, but O...M...G... I was wrong! She shows us what one woman, Evelyn Hugo, has to go through to make it in the Hollywood world of the 1950's until present. It's not the hard work, the deception of others and Evelyn, the lies, the secrets, it is all the above. In this book there is a SERIOUS twist that I didn't see coming and truthfully ... I loved it. Evelyn has a lot of secrets and truly hides who she truly is. With each husband, you see Evelyn grow, mature, cry, love, hate, and continually push herself further and further.  What I didn't like: There is a jump in the timeline wi

Announcement of a New Series...

Since I started writing I get a crazy idea in my head and I jot it down on a post-it. (FYI: I love post-its!!!) Anyway, this one idea kept creeping up and wouldn't leave me alone. So, I brought it to my publishers attention and they agreed for me to publish it.  It's a series that deal with female issues. By that I mean, typical issues that I've lived through and others that I know.  Before I go to far in depth let me tell you about book 1. The titles will be 'different' but that is the point, right?! Book 1 will be called: I'm the Real Paige Crosby I know its a mouthful, but there is a purpose for it...promise! The series will be called: I'm Real Series .  Book 1 will deal with self-esteem issues. A small overview of the book is that Paige Crosby is overweight, and receives a big job opportunity. However, she doesn't think that she deserves it and hides in the shadows.  There is more to it, but that is just a quick note about
