Sweet Stuff: Roundup of the Best Things This Past Week 10.05.20

Raleigh Personal Stylist

Hey Sweet Stuff!

Happy October! How was your weekend? 

On Sunday, I slept in a bit and made a hearty breakfast before I worked the day away. That’s the life of an entrepreneur!

As for books, I haven’t had much time for reading. But I have listened to a few audiobooks. Last week I finished The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware read by Imogen Church. The narrator is so important if you love listening to audiobooks and Imogen Church was a great narrator! The Woman in Cabin 10 is a psychological thriller about a journalist, named Lo Blacklock, who goes on a PR luxury cruise. The day before the trip. Lo’s home is burglarized and she’s injured. She begins to suffer from PTSD and feels that she can’t unequivocally trust her reality. While Lo is on the cruise, she hears a loud scream and sees blood smeared on the window of the cabin next to hers. When she calls security, everything she saw is gone so no one believes her story. She questions herself, but pushes forward and begins investigating staff members to find a woman who was in the cabin next door to hers but now is nowhere to be found.

I don’t want to ruin the book for you, but there is a serious plot twist from there! I absolutely did not expect the book to turn out the way it did, but I highly recommend.

If you’ve read or listened to this book, or another book by Ruth Ware, let me know what you thought in the comments.

here’s a little roundup of the best things I saw on the internet this past week

 

Sweet Stuff for Equality

I love these Vogue beauty videos. Of course, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivers a political statement with a statement lip look in this video.

 

 

A new Zwirner Gallery has been opened, directed by Ebony Haynes where she plans to hire an all Black staff. The gallery is also planning to create internship positions for Black students. This is phenomenal given the underrepresentation of Black voices in gallery spaces

 

PBS news hour podcast – has been a great source of daily news

 

 

Sweet Stuff for Self Care

The Nurse Jamie Roller always brings my face back to life. It’s a tried and true beauty tool for me. See my article on my other beauty tool recs here.

I am so excited about the Tan France Masterclass! If you’ve signed up for Masterclass, what’s been your experience?

 

Sweet Stuff for Sustainability

Have you heard of Snack sheets? They’re vegan, plastic free, reusable food wraps. I’ll be trying them out!

 

Sweet stuff for your Lust List

Purchased this Halogen skirt last week and it’s the perfect pleated midi for Fall

I really want this pair of low block heel over the knee boots, I bought these Vince boots but they didn’t quite fit the bill.
