THIS NOVEMBER ♡ 2024

December 9, 2024

DISCLAIMER: Links included in this post might be affiliate links. If you make a purchase with the links I provide, I may receive a small commission at no additional charge to you.

What I Watched
The Great British Baking Show (collection 12) – Netflix
Bakers attempt three challenges each week trying to impress the judges enough to go through to the next round and eventually are crowned Britain’s best amateur baker

I love a good season of The Great British Baking Show and this season was very lovely like every season, they always seem to select the perfect bakers! This is such a cozy watch if you aren’t watching The Great British Baking Show then what are you doing with your life?

Emily In Paris (season 4, part 2) – Netflix
A young American woman from the Midwest is hired by a marketing firm in Paris to provide them with an American perspective on things.

The second part of season four of Emily In Paris was released months ago but I’ve been backed up on series and films that I’ve been wanting to watch so I didn’t watch it until recently. It’s just as fun and tacky as ever but I wouldn’t expect anything more or less from this series. haha

What I Listened
THE BOYZ – TRIGGER
G-DRAGON – POWER
XG – HOWLING
ENHYPEN – No Doubt
TWS – Last Festival
ZHOUMI – Ex Games
WayV – FREQUENCY
WayV – HIGH FIVE
G-DRAGON – HOME SWEET HOME (feat. TAEYANG & DAESUNG)
NCT DREAM – i hate fruits
ATEEZ – Ice on My Teeth

Things I Did
Opened a Blythe Doll Clothing Shop
I opened up a shop to sell some of my Blythe doll clothing. I really enjoy crocheting clothes for my doll but I only have one doll (so far) and she doesn’t need that many clothes. But I want to continue to improve my crochet skills so I thought opening a shop would be ideal. Plus, it would be nice to save up enough money to save up for another Blythe doll, one could dream! You could always just contribute to my Ko-fi! haha

What I Read

Make sure to follow me on Goodreads to be updated on what I’m reading and on StoryGraph if you’re curious about my book statistics. Click here to read more about what I read this month.

The Kamogawa Food Detectives, #1 by Hisashi Kashiwai ★★★★/5
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender ★★★★/5
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire ★★★/5

Things I Love
PURITO Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream
This is described as a “glow cream” an ideal product to use if you want to achieve glass skin. I was gifted a few tubes of PURITO’s Panthenol Cream and just started my second tube and I absolutely adore it! This cream really makes my skin look more moisturized and dewy! I plan to do a full beauty review on this product where I will dive deeper into the specifics of this cream.

LEADERS Milk Sponge White Mud Pack to Foam
I was also sent this product by Leaders to review but all thoughts and opinions are mine. There are two different ways to use this product either as a mud mask or as a cleanser. You can either leave the pack on for a few minutes under it hardens and rinse off. Or, you can apply a bit of the cleanser and add a few drops of water and lather to create a foam. I personality, like to use this as a cleanser as it’s quick and effective. Whenever I use this cleanser, I always am left with a bright complexion afterward! I’ll write a beauty review on this product soon too!

NESCAFE Gold Espresso Blonde Instant Coffee
Since returning from Italy I’ve been on a coffee kick and I’m trying to find the perfect instant coffee. I tried the Gold instant coffee by Nescafe in Italy and loved it so much that I wanted to get a full-size version rather than the packets but this coffee doesn’t look or taste like the ones I had in Italy so I’m not sure if it’s the same. There is an intense version so I’m going to try that one next.

Dog Grooming Hammock
I’ve seen these dog hammocks all over social media and finally decided to invest in one hoping that it would work with Lucy. I had low expectations but it worked! I did have a tough time finding a place to hang this and eventually had to empty one of our downstairs closets but it worked! It’s sturdy enough to lift her and comes with extra hooks to lift your pup higher. Lucy doesn’t like it but it’s better than her running around with long talons.

MGA Miniverse Make It Minis
I started getting into miniatures because I’ve been looking for cute props to use with my Blythe doll. MGA Miniverse is a popular miniature brand where you make an item based on the ingredients inside the container. I fell in love with the MGA Miniverse X Target series because every container comes with a Target shopping bag or basket and some Target-branded items. So far, I’ve collected 3 out of the 4 shopping bags but hopefully, I’ll be able to get a Target basket soon!

✨🪸🧜🏻‍♀️ It’s the final day of t ✨🪸🧜🏻‍♀️ It’s the final day of the mermaid readathon! Thank you so much for hosting this readathon @thebrightsidegirl! I had so much fun reading these mermaid/island/ocean/underwater books! I also enjoyed making these mermaid themed flat lays for the photo challenges and can’t wait until next year! Swipe to see all the books I read and the mermaid treasures I collected! 🧜🏻‍♀️🪸✨

📖 Day 14: Fave mermaid read
Technically, my favorite read wasn’t a mermaid book but an island book 😆 Beauty Queens by Libba Bray was my favorite read during this readathon! It’s about a group of pageant girls who get stranded on a mysterious island. I listened to the audiobook and was blown away! The author narrates the entire book and does different voices for each of the characters in the book, and there are a lot of characters! Highly recommend the audiobook! I’m not a fan of the cover though, it looks like a smutty book 😂🙈 Have you read Beauty Queens? 👸🏻

Stay tuned for a mermaid readathon recap blog post which I’ll be posting on my website later this week! If you participated in this readathon, what was your favorite read?🧜🏻‍♀️

🦀 Day 12: Ocean creature
How cute is this cookie! I was gifted this crab sugar cookie on my birthday because I’m a Cancer 😆 but I thought it would be perfect for today’s photo challenge!

I just started the second book in the Emily Windsnap series, Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep. I’m assuming based on the title, there will be some sort of ocean creature involved, we will see! 🧜🏻‍♀️

🧜🏻‍♀️ Day 11: Mermaid in the title
Last year, I wanted to read The Mermaid from Jeju by Sumi Hahn but didn’t get the chance to. So, this year one of my goals during this mermaid readathon is to finish this book! Have any of you read this novel?

🧜🏼‍♂️ Day 9: Merman
I didn’t think I was going to have a picture for this one but when I opened the book “Mermaids, Sirens and Selkies: Myths and Legends“ by Jean Menzies I was surprised to see that the first story was about a merman! 😂
