Weekend Reads, No. 1

Happy Saturday! Welcome to my new series, Weekend Reads! My goal is to have these posts go live every weekend detailing what I’m reading and listening to and update y’all on current sales, things that have caught my eye, and things I’ve recently purchased. I’ll also be giving a summary of my blog, LTK, and Instagram posts from the previous week at the end of every post.

Whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope you have fun and get some much-needed rest and relaxation!
