Barnes and Noble Mark Twain Library Candle

Dear blog, several blog posts ago I mentioned how I enjoy the smell of old books. I even mentioned a shop on Etsy that sells candles inspired by the old book smell. I have not purchased any from that shop; even though I want too. I would still like to try old books, Dumbledore's office, and Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey (Doctor Who reference). Well my husband and I went on a date not to long ago and of course we stopped at Barnes and Noble to get some Starbucks. I mean our date cannot be complete until we have had our coffee. While I was browsing around I found some candles, and I thought well let's see if they have the scents I have been looking for. To my surprise they are selling bibliotheque inspired candles. I was so excited that I started to smell them. The candles were specifically inspired by old writers (Jane Austen, Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe and many more). which I liked. Sadly I could only get one because they were on the pricey side, $20 for each. Now the packaging was adorable, it looks very antique; that also caught my attention.

The one I chose was Mark Twain Library. the scent is tobacco flower and vanilla. I really have enjoyed this smell, it does remind me of a library. I like to imagine I'm in that era; silly me. I do hope that I get to try some of the other scents. I'm a huge fan of Jane Austen so I would like to have that one and the Edgar Allen Poe scent. The reason why I want this one is due to the episode of Doctor Who; go figure right. I hope you go by Barnes and Noble to buy one of the candles, and if you do I hope you enjoy it.

Back to School

Dear blog, it is time to start a new semester. I'm getting so close to being done with my Master's degree. I have 5 classes left; God willing I will complete my Master's and graduate this August. I'm so pumped to finally be done and get a small break from school. Which is ironic because my degree is in teaching. It is time to buy text books and school supplies. Even though my classes are online, I still like to have a notebook to take notes as I read. Also, I love post it notes to write reminders of when assignments need to be turned in, pens, pencils, and highlighters. I'm all about making to-do lists, so I always have a piece of paper around that tells me what I need to be doing. This is a lap computer desk, I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond it is not found online. I have had this desk for about 5 years now. I really like this desk because it can be moved around; it can be used on the couch or just to sit on the floor. This desk has two slots on the side to ke

Wish List for Valentines

Kiel James Patrick: Brunch At Tiffany's , I discovered this store last year and I absolutely fell in love. In particular with this pearl necklace, I have been wanting it since I saw it. It is quite pricey, hence why I have not been able to get it. This necklace costs $82.00; I mean it is made up of pearls so I don't expect for it to be cheap. Also, it looks like a classy piece that every girl should have in their jewelry collection. Pearls will always be in style. Tory Burch: Perfume ; this one is the 1oz bottle for $65.00. This has been on my wish list for a year. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, I can use it as a decoration on my vanity. Tory Burch: Tilsim Logo Heart Stud , perfect gift for Valentines Day. These earrings are gorgeous. Victoria's Secret: The Cotton Mayfair Pajamas , this pajama is so cute, it's in my favorite color. Also, I need new pajamas, I have plenty of pajamas bottoms, but not tops. This one is perfect because it

Week 6 Weight Loss Journey

Image
Dear blog, once again no change in my wight. I look slimmer, but no weight has come off. I have not gained or lost weight; my brother says it's because I don't have a clean diet and I think he is right. I have been working out really hard, but not made much improvement in the types of food I have been putting into my body. I'm really trying to make better choices, but those sweets get me all the time. Also, I feel hungry all the time, I don't understand. It has really been hard. For this coming week I'm going to try to stay away from sweets and of course continue to work out hard core. I feel like I should only document when there is actual weight loss happening. What do you think or are you liking the weekly updates?
