Hey everyone!
Is it just me, or has the weather been giving us fall vibes in the middle of August? The breezy mornings, cozy evenings… I’m not mad at it. The real question is — are you ready for sweater season to show up early?

Speaking of ready — I have something you might want to jump on right now…

And because I’m always reading, here’s a little book talk for you:

Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad
This one… whew. Inspiring, eye-opening, and beautifully written. It made me reflect on life, the importance of travel, and memories of my mom. My prayers go out to anyone going through cancer right now — this book is a gentle reminder of hope and resilience.

Can’t Get Enough by Kennedy Ryan
I’ve loved every book I’ve read from Kennedy Ryan, and this one is no different. She’s actually based in Atlanta, so I’m definitely going to try to connect with her for an interview! This book reminded me to be bold, speak my mind, follow my heart, and let love in. Life is short — treasure your loved ones while you can.
