Meet the journaler! A new prompt by @journalingyourway ! I had a lot of fun with this one & turned this in an intro page for my 3rd journal of the year I will be starting soon! ⁣ ⁣ 🖊🎨📒⁣ ⁣ How many journals do you all keep in a single year? I might be a bit excessive with mine 😅⁣ ⁣ 🖊🎨📒⁣ ⁣ #bulletjournalers #bujo #bujolove #bulletjournal #journalprompts #journal #journaling #bujoart #artjournal #doodle #journalingyourway

Bonjour Monday! Who out there adds a little dark roast to their flavored @coffeeovercardio coffee? It takes the flavors and richness to a whole new level! Also DM me if you want to try some samples of their six different coffees; I can get you a discount! They will soon have a seventh type & I can’t wait to see what it is! Hope everyone finds some joy somewhere today! 😋☕️ #coffeeovercardio #coffee #coffeeaddict #coffeelover #teamcoffee #beginnerfitness #beachbody #transform20

“But at some point you have to recognize that you have no control over anybody and you have to step back and be ready to catch them when they fall and that’s all you can do. It feels like throwing yourself out to sea. Or, maybe not that. Maybe it’s more like throwing someone you love out to sea and then praying they float on their own, knowing they might well drown and you’ll have to watch.” -Simone ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Taylor Jenkins Reid creates another addictive, show stopping novel with #DaisyJones&TheSix ! Her ability to construct a novel that reads like a live documentary in your head is undeniable! This story transports you back to an often talked about era where its all about sex (& gender politics), drugs, and rock & roll. The plot arc is magnificent in that you really feel the extreme highs and lows that are associated with the fast and loose lifestyle of a rock band. Also, so many great themes on challenging gender norms & public and private perception of an individuals image and how it impacts their livelihood, which in turns impacts their identity. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As far as characters goes I especially loved Karen, Graham, Camila, and Simone’s perspectives! I think as a reader one feels more like an outsider to the Billy/Daisy dynamic, which in turn operates to make you feel like someone in the band. And like members of the band, you are constantly being reminded that you are only on the peripheral of their greatness. Billy & Daisy’s characters were OK. I found myself kind of annoyed with them and their dynamic towards the end. I mean I think their function makes sense to further the story along, but I just didn’t feel it with them like I did with other characters. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This book is constructed in a docu-style, “tell all” way & I can see why it would be turned into a mini-series. Jenkins Reid also hits us again with some stellar one liners that zing your heart. She truly is a boss lady at that.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣ ⁣ @randomhouse @tjenkinsreid⁣ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bookblogger #bookblog #fiction #adultfiction #historicalfiction #daisyjonesandthesix #bookjournal #bulletjournal #bujo #journal #journaling

Happy Friday, friends!⁣ ⁣ 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻⁣ ⁣ I already kicked off my day early with a 2:30am workout. I guess I really need to stay fit & active to eliminate the lower back pain flair ups that seem to happen at ungodly hours. So I’m going to get back into the swing of things & aim for 30 days of working out in some capacity (starting today). Whether it be through the beachbody program or simply a 20 min walk with my pupper, I need to do this to strengthen my core and lose this tummy pouch to lessen this killer back pain. ⁣ ⁣ 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻⁣ ⁣ But in other news, I have my coffee & my weekend read prepared. I got Daisy Jones & the Six for my March book of the month selection, and the hype its been receiving on IG won’t leave be me. So I figured I would pick up earlier than I planned and see what its all about. Taylor Jenkins Reid blew me away with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, so I can’t wait to see more of what shes done! Also this premise—who doesn’t love to travel back to a time full of peace, love, & rock n roll?⁣ ⁣ 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻⁣ ⁣ What’s everyones weekend plans? Anyone else attempting #8inTwo this weekend? Whats on your TBR? ⁣ ⁣ 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻⁣ ⁣ @randomhouse @tjenkinsreid⁣ @25infive #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #bookblogger #bookblog #fiction #adultfiction #contemporaryfiction #contemporaryadult #historicalfiction #daisyjonesandthesix #taylorjenkinsreid #bookofthemonth #botm #balletinebooks #randomhouse #coffeeovercardio #coffeeaddict #coffielover #beginnerfitness #beachbody #transform20

“Living everyday in the presence of those who refuse to acknowledge your humanity takes great courage.” ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Pachinko was a beautifully written story full of rich descriptions, vivid characters, and complex thematic elements woven into the historical context. I felt so emotionally connected to this story that I was tearing up at certain parts, feeling the pain that the characters felt and relishing in their victories. The ending left me speechless, and I had to take a few days to digest the entire story, so I could write an intelligible review. I think this one is masterfully done & believe everyone should have it on their shelves! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣ ⁣ ⁣ @lee_minjin @grandcentralpub⁣ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookblogger #bookblog #fiction #adultfiction #historicalfiction #asianliterature #koreanliterature #worldliterature #diversebooks #readdiversebooks #readdiversebooks #grandcentralpublishing #minjinlee #readersofinstagram #bookjournal #bookjournaling #bulletjournaling #bujo #journaler #journaling
