We need it. I'm also pinning this for the fact that someone said we need it hahahaha

So that's as close as I come to hugging anyone right now. It's kinda sad, actually. (Curse you, CVID-19!!)

I like this one
From "The Craziness of Moriah Snell"

I think I'm going to start using this sentence. It's literally awesome. Wander what would be a good way to hand letter it? MMmmm...

Anywhooo....

I'm stuck at home and bored. There's nothing toooo ddoooooooooooo!!!!!!! But here's what I'm up to.

Buy here

I actually picked this up at my local 5Below, and I love it!! I've used it multiple times. Though I was worried about clogging my pores, this has been great for my dry skin. I just rub in into my skin before bed, and my skin feels amazing when I awake up. (Yes, I sleep in it.)

The Ruins of Gorlan: Ranger's Apprentice, Book 1
Find it here

I don't have access to this series at the moment, but I'm craving the characters so bad right now. Does anyone else do that? Crave the comfort and personalities of favorite characters? (Please tell me I'm not alone!!)

I give this entire series five stars. I recommend for everyone. GO READ THEM!!! Warning: this is a 15-ish book series and also has a companion series.

Find it here

I picked this lovely edition up at Costco around Christmas but didn't start on it until the beginning of March. I have another book by David Day, also about Tolkien, and I enjoyed it a lot. I give props to Day for being an OG Tolkien fan, and his books seriously show that love to the point of nerdiness.

The only negative I have for this is I really wish Day had a better grip of multiple mythologies. It's nothing major. I just feel like Tolkien had such a deep understanding that any author attempting to write about Tolkien needs to know their stuff.


And to finish this up, here's a short list of my fave youtubers
  1. Kayley Melissa, your friendly neighborhood hairstylist. She's been on youtube for 10 years and does really cute hairstyles for both long and short hair.
  2. Hello Future Me, no shame, is a nerd channel. However, he has an excellent format and a lot of writing related videos.
  3. Shayda Campbell is one of the sweetest youtubers I follow. She does amazing watercolor tutorials, and I adore her bullet journal videos.
  4. Peter Hollens is an a cappella artist, the husband of another talented youtuber, father of two boys, and a huge disney fan. His videos are just spectacular!! 
So if you're bored, maybe go look so of them up. Most of them have a TON of content.

Stay healthy and safe, y'all, okay? The world's an even bigger mess than normal right now, and I'd hate for anything to happen to y'all.

    I've seen that Tolkien book at Costco too! I've thought about getting it...maybe I will now. :D And I'll have to try out that gel mask too. I've been getting more interested in skincare lately, because I've almost entirely weened myself off of makeup--except mascara of course. :)

Via Pinterest I've been playing the "how late can I sat up reading?" game for a couple nights now. It's going to get me in trouble. It really is. And I have work tomorrow, so.... Via Pinterest But anyway, today I'm writing about my favorite books. I promise to limit myself to about five or so, but cut me some slack, okay? Words are pretty much my favorite of all time. Via Google The Book Thief  by Markus Zusak Set in World War Two, this is the story of an orphan, a fist-fighter, and the power of words. But no one can know Max the fighter lives with Liesel's family. If they are found harboring a Jew, all will change. In this time of chaos, Max and Liesel both find hope and refuge in books and writing. Via Google The Children of Hurin  by J.R.R. Tolkein A story from before Lord of the Rings , a man is forced to watch every member of his family fall to tragedy and madness. Captured by Morgoth, Hurin sits and watches hi

From "The Dragon Books" Annnddddd........ We're back for a Teaser Tuesday!!! For anyone who doesn't already know, The Dragons' Stones  is the novel I completed last year. It's synopsis is  "Princess Ciara must retrieve the fabled Dragons' Stones or face life imprisonment. Aleksander hopes that by helping her with this quest, he will make peace with regrets from his past." From "The Dragon Books" No, I'm not going to tell y'all why this prompt fits into The Dragons' Stones . Just know that applies.  Now, it's time for the teaser. Today, it's from Ciara's perspective. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I paused below a window as worry rolled down my shoulders to the ground. I knew. I remembered. I sighed with relief and kept moving until I was out of the village. Beyond it grew a forest. I marched between the trees. The wind hissed among their leaves, and then I
