 Happy Friday Ya'll!! Anyone else doing a happy dance?! I wanted to share a few book I have read lately and one that I plan on reading ASAP plus my favorite new dry shampoo.

ONE

It Ends With Us was the first Colleen Hoover book I have read. It. Did. Not. Disappoint. I could not put it down. I think I seriously read it in a day. Lilly, the main character,  draws you in to the book just after several pages especially after meeting neurosurgeon, Ryle Kincaid. It Ends With Us tackles some serious relationship issues and leaves you wanting more.




TWO

You will meet Auburn in the book Confess. At 21 she has already lost everything important to her. But she moves to Dallas in order to get what she wants most back. In between she meets an artist, Owen at his art studio. But Owen is keeping a big secret from Auburn. One that could destroy all that she is working towards. I am officially addicted to Colleen Hoover's books after this 2nd one.




THREE

It's no secret that I have been obsessed with WW2 fiction for the last couple years. I seriously can not get enough of the history between the Nazi's and Jews. I would love to go to Germany after reading so many book during that time. But in the mean time I will keep reading. I loved the Baker's Daughter.  Elsie Schmidt is a naive teenager in 1945 ,as eager for her first sip of champagne as she is for her first kiss. She and her family have been protected from the worst of the terror and desperation overtaking her country by a high-ranking Nazi who wishes to marry her. So when an escaped Jewish boy arrives on Elsie’s doorstep on Christmas Eve, Elsie understands that opening the door would put all she loves in danger. Sixty years later, in El Paso, Texas, Reba Adams is trying to file a feel-good Christmas piece for the local magazine, and she sits down with the owner of Elsie's German Bakery for what she expects will be an easy interview. But Reba finds herself returning to the bakery again and again, anxious to find the heart of the story—a story that resonates with her own turbulent past. For Elsie, Reba’s questions are a stinging reminder of that last bleak year of World War II.




FOUR

I love all things Charleston and since I can't move there just yet and can only go there once a year for vacation, I love to read anything I can that will make me feel like I am walking on those cobble streets or smelling the bluff mudd. Karen White has several books set in Charleston. I have yet to read The Guests on South Battery but it is on it's way to me!! As the two women's lives become intertwined, both are forced to confront the uncomfortable truths of the past and seek out the courage to forgive.












FIVE

So obviously this isn't a book but ya'll need to run and order this DRY SHAMPOO (for those mornings you are running short on time after not being able to put one of my book recommendations down lol). I have really thin, fine hair and have struggled to find the perfect dry shampoo. Most still make it look oily and gross. Living Proof is amazing!! I could probably go almost 2 days without washing my hair. I would never have dreamed I would be able to go one day without washing my hair. Now I cherish that extra half hour I can sleep in or that workout I can now fit in instead!!
