Hello beauties! How’s life? How was March? I’ve been sharing weekly curated bookish links in our Bookmarked series, but I wanted to do a check in that’s not all related to books and reading.
March Highlights
☆ I ran a Spartan Trail race at the end of February and it was just the best! I love running on trails, but the energy at Spartan events are just next level! The next weekend (first weekend in March) I ran another 10K which was also a road race in a new nearby neighborhood.
★ Probably my favorite thing this month was going on vacation to Jamaica! We stayed in Montego Bay (at Hyatt Zilara which is a fun hotel – 2nd time there), then went to Kingston to visit with my family, and ended the trip with a weekend in Ocho Rios at Couples San Souci (for a quieter, intimate, romantic vibe). It was a much needed and relaxing break.
☆ Did you notice us getting back into blogging this month?! I missed writing online. This is my first full month back to being somewhat consistent with a weekly Bookmarked post with curated bookish links I’ve found interesting + monthly Reading Challenges and Events.
★ And in case you missed it on the blog, 12 Recommendations for The 2024 In Case You Missed It Backlist Reading Challenge.
March Faves
❤ My current daily word game habit: Wordle – Daily Waffle – Quordle – Connections – Deluxe Waffle (Weekly). I’m not much of a gamer, so this is it right now. Any recommendations for games to play on my phone (Android)?
❤ We don’t use real candles in our home but these LED battery operated flameless candles (with remote/timer) have been giving us a warm cozy glow in the evenings over the Winter. They use 2 AA batteries each, and you can set them to be on for 4, 6 o 8 hours. I originally bought them to use during Christmas, but they now stay out all year long.
❤ In an effort to use our air fryer more, I’m trying at least one new recipe a month. The latest is this Crispy Air Fryer Red Potatoes Recipe and ooh it was so simple, and so good!
❤ Bath & Body Works Hand Soap Refills are my new fave. I only buy BBW hand soaps for the bathrooms in our house, and I can’t believe I only just realized that they have now started selling refills in carton sized containers. I bought Japanese Cherry Blossom, Kitchen Lemon and Fresh Cut Lilacs.
❤ What are some of your food subscriptions? I only have one – to get in more protein in my day, I drink Orgain Plant Based Protein Shakes (I’m lactose intolerant). This is delivered monthly. I’m pretty sure I could optimize my life by getting a few more things delivered – so share yours!
