Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge...

The Secret

Book Blogger Confessions #3


Here's what it's all about: "Started in January 2012, by Karen - For What It's Worth & Tiger - Tiger's All Consuming Media & now co-hosted with my good friend Pam from Midnyte reader, Book Blogger Confessions is a meme that posts the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month, where book bloggers "confess" and vent about blogging/bookish topics. Feel free to share, vent and offer solutions.

Just keep it respectful - no bashing authors or other bloggers!"

March 31st Topic: How does blogging effect your *real* life? Are friends and family supportive? Do you find that blogging cuts into family time? How do you strike a balance between the two?

So, how does blogging effect my real life? It's pretty much a daily thing for me to work on my blog; whether that be with scheduling new posts, writing down meme schedules, adding new elements to my blog, and most importantly reading!
I do know how to limit myself though. Definitely gotta get school work done first, and then I try to put in a half our or hour a day for my blog. The way I see it is, if people are taking time out of their schedule to read my blog, then I should take the time out of my schedule to keep it up to date (sort of hypocritical since this post is late! But I was on vacation! We all deserve a break every once and a while)

My family is super supportive of my blogging! They all follow me and help me out with suggestions here and there. My dad really helped with the layout of my blog. One evening we just sat down and for about 3 or 4 hours fixed up HTML here and there and created a whole new look for my blog. My mom will read my posts and talk to me about certain things on my blog and my sister will often help me promote some of my posts through her Pintrest. 
I actually haven't told any of my friends about my blog. No one outside my family knows about it (well, besides people on social media that I don't know on a personal level). I just feel like my friends wouldn't take it seriously (they're not big readers) so it's sort of my own little secret.

I don't think my blogging cuts into family time. It's like asking if reading cuts into family time. Sure, my parents will ask if I want to come watch TV with them but most of the time I'll say "No! I'm reading!" (Total nerd, I know) But I often end up multi-tasking while I'm blogging like watching TV at the same time, or listening to music, etc.
Like I said before I definitely limit myself on how much blogging I do each day, but it's not completely consuming that I never leave my room, and remain a hermit forever. 

What are your thoughts about blogging and family/friends? Let me know in the comments below!
See you soon!

Beauty Basics: Kat Von D & Influenster

  So I've been toying with the idea of adding makeup and skincare reviews to the blog because in case you've missed it, I'm a bit obsessed with both (I even work part time at Ulta just for the discount and access to new products). So when Influenster sent me a box a free goodies to try for review, I figured there was no time like the present so ... Welcome to Beauty Basics! In case you aren't familiar with Influenster , it's a free (yes, free ) website where you can fill out surveys to win stuff. You do not have to be a blogger or vlogger or even all that active on social media to qualify (but it does help). It's awesome and I've gotten tons of free goodies and I'm not on there that much! If you want to sign up:  www.influenster.com/r/1020800 *Fair notice: This is a referral link so I get points towards my impact score if you sign up with this code* And now onto the review: I've tried a few Kat Von D products here and there but never any of her skinc...

Review: Die For You by Amy Fellner Dominy

Review: Ah, teenage love. The intensity, the newness, the obsessive way it takes over your life. This powerful and chilling tale of love gone wrong will haunt you for weeks to come after you close the cover. What starts as a sweet romance slowly, horrifyingly turns bad when Emma and Dillon collide. Watching Dillon slowly become darker and more obsessive, more abusive is horrifying, but Amy Fellner Dominy does a beautiful job of show how organic and natural something that seems so right can twist into something so, so wrong. DIE FOR YOU is that book you want teens to read. You want them to see how easy it is to be blinded by the stars in your eyes. 1 in 11 students report being physically harmed by their date ( KidsHealth.org ). This isn't a problem that's going away, but it is one that needs to be discussed more. This was my first book by Amy Fellner Dominy and it won't be my last. I love the way she tells a story, letting the characters carry the bulk of the book and keepi...
