Weekly Wrap Up 2/2/24

Have you heard of the Weekly R.E.P.O.R.T.? It was started by a TikToker named @gooseweek and I love the structure. I’ve been trying to think of a way to revamp the Weekly Wrap Up for a while now and after seeing a few other creators do the Weekly R.E.P.O.R.T. it inspired me to give it ago! I love Iman Hariri-Kia’s newsletter format and Tessa from The Lit Homebody does a fun one on IG!

So, I figured I’d try out my own version and mix it up with the Weekly Wrap Up. I’ll add in the elements I want to keep from the old set up but if you like this format, I’d love to know! I feel like it will keep me from scrolling too much too so I can keep my spending to a minimum.

Reading

The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson — I’m sad to report that this book did not work for me. I have been pitched many shifter/omegaverse books before but I don’t think I’m the target audience, at lease right now.

Fangirl Down — I’m so glad I read this. After a few disappointments from this author recently, I thought about skipping it. But it felt like the style that I used to love from Tessa! It was super cute and I am a huge fan of golf romances now.

Eating

Doctored Up Viral Feta Pasta — One bowl meals that are cozy and nutritious are ideal right now. Finding time and energy to cook right now is tough so it felt good to have something that made good leftovers.

Playing

Reign — I watched this show in college and I don’t know why I put it on this week, but I am completely hooked back into this CW drama. The costumes may not be historically accurate (or a lot of the story) but it’s been a great distraction lately. It’s on Prime!

Father of the Bride—I had never seen this movie! But I am now a huge fan. On Hulu.

Father of the Bride II—Not as good as the first, but still wonderful and entertaining. On Hulu.

Obsessing

Icon Juice Glasses — I feel like these are my Pokemon…gotta catch em all.

Recommending

Tiramisu Syrup — A perfect little something something to add to my coffee in the morning and also so good in a hot chocolate!

Lake Pajamas Set—I’ve sung the praises of Lake for a long time, but I truly love them so much. They’ve provided a lot of much needed comfort recently.

Treating

Poke Bowl — If you’re local, Fresh Catch is my favorite! They also have great acai bowls.

Weekend Plans

I am very excited for the Grammys this weekend but other than that, no big plans. There’s a local book fair happening for adult readers at a local brewery that I might hit up if i’m feeling up for it!
