What I Watched
Conclave – Amazon Prime
When Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events, selecting a new Pope, he finds himself at the center of a web of conspiracies and intrigue that could shake the very foundation of the Catholic Church.

I had no interest in watching Conclave because it didn’t really appeal to me when I first saw the trailer, plus, I’m not religious. However, with the news of the first American Pope, I thought it would be fun to celebrate by watching it. I oddly loved it more than I thought I would! It was very gossipy, and I wasn’t expecting the ending at all!

What I Listened
P1Harmony – DUH!
DAY6 – game over
YUTA – TWISTED PARADISE
RIIZE – Ember to Solar
i-dle – Girlfriend
i-dle – Unstoppable
DPR CREAM & DPR ARTIC – DRIFT
IRENE & SEULGI – TILT
SHINee – Poet | Artist
IU – A Beautiful Person (feat. Balming Tiger)
IU – Square’s dream
SEVENTEEN – THUNDER
SEVENTEEN – Shake It Off (MINGYU solo)
SEVENTEEN – Gemini (JUN solo)
N.Flying – Everlasting

Things I Love
Esoteric Dolls ‘I’m Sorry’ Petra Collins X Jenny Fax Blythe Zine
I finally decided to treat myself to the ‘I’m Sorry’ Blythe zine by Esoteric Dolls. This zine features photos of Blythe dolls wearing clothing from the ‘I’m Sorry’ by Petra Collins X Jenny Fax collection. It’s so adorable! I would love to make a zine like this with clothing and accessories that I crochet one day. I wrote a whole post about this collection on my Blythe Substack, if you want to give it a quick read.

Sunwarrior Active Creatine ~ Lemonade
The last couple of days of April, I started incorporating creatine into my post-workout routine. Creatine is supposed to help build muscles, improve focus, increase energy, and aid in recovery. You can take this as a pre-workout or post-workout drink. I started to take creatine because I heard it can enhance the appearance of lean muscles and I did see some improvement within a few weeks of taking this creatine powder! I wasn’t even eating the healthiest in May and saw improvement in the muscle definition on my lower stomach which is an area I’ve struggled with for a long time. This flavored creatine tastes exactly like lemonade but I recently picked up the berry flavor and will be opening it 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! 😂
