Brown Girl Reading

Hey my friends!

I hope you all are having a great week! I know I am. Nothing particularly special about it (other than warmer temperatures, thank you Jesus), I just decided to be happier this week. I'm doing things I love and working out more. Notice how those two are not the same. 

One thing that I love and don't do enough of is reading. I have loved to read since I was a little girl and my mom took me to the library every Friday. Now that I'm older, I find other things demanding the attention that reading once owned. So while I still love it, I've found that picking up a book is something I do only every couple months. I've told myself to be better and read more than a few good books this year.

 Brown Girl Dreaming has become a favorite of mine. I picked it up in Barnes and Noble, read a couple lines, and bought it immediately. It's that good y'all. Jackie Woodson does a beautiful job of telling her life story as a young African American girl growing up in the South during the 60s. And she does it in free verse. I cried several times at how wonderful she is at capturing feelings with just a few words. Ugh, so good.

Are you reading anything good? Anything that moves you? Let me know!

Hey my friends!

I hope you had a lovely weekend! I feel like mine was super productive. I cooked, cleaned, bought groceries, and hung out with friends. It was the kind where I thought to myself "I'm becoming a responsible adult". This is unlike other weekends where I geek out about Harry Potter or something like that. Then I think, "Who am I kidding? I'm a kid forever!" 

This is what I wore yesterday to go to church and grocery shopping. It is soo comfy. Can Palazzo pants be a thing for a while because I love wearing pajamas. And that's basically what they are. Snaz 'em up with a cute top and flats and you are good to go for the rest of the day. #winning
