Things I am Loving 03/03-03/09

1. Clothes: Abercrombie and Fitch

I bought some new pieces from Abercrombie to help spruce up my wardrobe. I got some new jeans, trousers, and t-shirts. The trousers are going to be the best because I need some good fitting trousers that don’t wrinkle. The last trousers I got from Abercrombie wrinkle a lot because of the fabric they are made of so I got trousers made with different fabric because my co-workers rave about them. 

2. Book: The Davenports (cont.)

I finished this book and it was pretty good. I would rate this book 3.7. This book kept me locked in because I wanted to see how things would end for each girl, but I was disappointed with the ending. I felt like the book ended where it started.

3. Book: Hold You Down

This book had me in a chokehold as I was reading it. I read the bulk of the book in one day. It took me through so many emotions. It is one of the few books that I cried over. This book journeys you through the life of two sisters and their sons and shows how one decision can alter your life and those around you. You will find love, heartbreak, and self-discovery in this novel. The ending was gut-wrenching. I highly recommend you read this book.  

If you are looking to get into reading, remember to get and use your library card so that you can get access to a plethora of books for free. It is a low-cost way to get lost in another world. Also, if you want to build your own library this is a great way to see if you like the book before you buy.

4. Food: Le Reve

I tried this restaurant in Dallas as I saw a few people on TikTok rave about it. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee gelato (⅘), Cookies, and Cream gelato, it was lacking on the cookies and I didn’t like the taste of them, but the cream flavor was its saving grace (⅖), Tiramisu (3.5/5), and Cafe Caramel (⅘).

This place is cute and a good place to work from or hangout with friends. If it was closer, I would visit again. 

5. Watercolor

I am working on finding new hobbies that are separate from technology, so I bought watercolor from Michaels. I am excited to play around and use it as a new outlet to relax. This is my first time watercoloring outside of the little things we did as a kid. My goal is to focus to focus on fun over perfection. I have found watercolor lessons I have found on YouTube that help beginners learn how to draw things. 

6. TV Show: The Good Doctor

I started watching The Good Doctor and it’s such a good show.
