The Lost Bookshop

By: Evie Woods

On a quiet street in Dublin, a lost bookshop is waiting to be found…

For too long, Opaline, Martha and Henry have been the side characters in their own lives.

But when a vanishing bookshop casts its spell, these three unsuspecting strangers will discover that their own stories are every bit as extraordinary as the ones found in the pages of their beloved books. And by unlocking the secrets of the shelves, they find themselves transported to a world of wonder… where nothing is as it seems.

The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Apothecary in this evocative and charming novel full of mystery and secrets.

‘The thing about books,’ she said, ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’

A Guide to Hygge Living 🎀🪞🩰

Incorporating the Danish concept of hygge to create a cozy and content life.

╰┈➤ What is Hygge?

Hygge (pronounced “hoo-ga”) is a Danish concept that celebrates the small joys of life. It is the art of finding comfort, joy, and well-being in life’s simple pleasures. It’s about creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, both externally and internally. Imagine the warmth of a crackling fireplace on a chilly evening, the snug feeling of a soft blanket wrapped around you, or the soothing comfort of a good book after a long day. That’s Hygge.

╰┈➤ The Heart of Hygge

At its core, hygge revolves around enjoying life’s good things with good people. It’s not just a mood or an attitude; it’s a philosophy that encourages us to slow down, savor the present, and cultivate meaningful connections. Here are some key aspects of hygge:

➼ Quality Time with Loved Ones: Hygge is about spending time with family and friends. Whether it’s a cozy dinner at home, a picnic in the park, or a heartfelt conversation over hot chocolate, prioritize these moments of togetherness.

➼ Creating a Cozy Environment: Hygge thrives in a warm, inviting space. Light candles, wrap yourself in soft blankets, and surround yourself with comfort. Consider adding plush cushions, warm-toned decor, and soft lighting to your home.

➼ Mindful Enjoyment: Hygge encourages mindfulness. Put away distractions, savor your meals, and appreciate the little things. You can have a cup of herbal tea, a piece of chocolate, or enjoy the sound of rain outside. Just be fully present.

➼ Embracing Simplicity: Hygge celebrates simplicity. It’s not about excess or extravagance; it’s about finding joy in minimalism. Declutter your space, choose quality over quantity, and relish the beauty of simplicity.

╰┈➤ How to Incorporate Hygge into Your Life

ꕤ Create Your Hyggekrog

↳ Designate a cozy corner in your home – your very own “hyggekrog.” It could be a nook by the window, a comfy chair, or a cushioned spot where you can unwind.

↳ Swap out harsh overhead lights for candles or fairy lights. Consider battery-operated candles with timers for that magical glow.

↳ Infuse your space with soothing scents using electric diffusers or oil burners.

↳ Invest in a Himalayan salt lamp for a warm, comforting glow.

ꕤ Comfortable Clothing

↳ When you get home from school or work, change into an outfit that feels like “you.” Whether it’s cozy pajamas or a soft sweater, prioritize comfort.

ꕤ Special Mugs and Hot Drinks

↳ Have a favorite mug for your hot beverages. Sip your coffee, tea, or cocoa mindfully.

↳ Consider mugs with positive messages – they’ll add an extra touch of hygge to your mornings.

ꕤ Soft Textures Everywhere

↳ Blankets, cushions, and throws – scatter them around your home. Create inviting spots where you can retreat and unwind.

↳ Treat yourself to proper wool socks for warm toes during chilly days.

ꕤ Slow Down and Savor

↳ Lingering after meals, savoring conversations, and slowing the pace of life – these are all part of the hygge experience.

↳ Turn off technology, be present, and enjoy the moment.

ꕤ Hygge Outdoors

↳ Take walks in nature, especially during crisp autumn days or snowy winters.

↳ Bundle up, breathe in the fresh air, and appreciate the beauty around you.

ꕤ Have Fun With Others

↳ Spend quality time with friends and family. Share meals, laughter, and heartfelt conversations.

↳ Create memories together – have a cozy picnic or a game night at home.

ꕤ Practice Hygge At Work

↳ Personalize your workspace with cozy touches: a warm desk lamp, a soft cushion, or a plant.

↳ Take short breaks to stretch, breathe, and reset.

ꕤ Read and Listen

↳ Curl up with a good book or listen to soothing music. Create a peaceful environment for relaxation.

ꕤ Weekend Hygge

↳ Take weekends as a time to recharge. Sleep in, cook comfort food, and enjoy your mornings.

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･⋆.ೃ࿔*:･⋆.ೃ࿔*:･⋆.ೃ࿔*:･⋆.ೃ࿔*:･⋆.ೃ࿔*:･⋆.ೃ࿔*:･⋆.ೃ࿔*:･⋆.

Remember, hygge isn’t just a trend; it’s a mindset. It isn’t about perfection but about embracing imperfections and finding joy in the everyday. Enjoy those cozy moments, celebrate life’s small joys, and create your own hygge-filled world

🌿 Natural Glow: Clinique’s Brightening Essentials✨

🚫 No More Spots: Your Path to Clearer Skin🌟🌟

Dark spots, also known as hyperpigmentation, can be a source of frustration for many individuals, affecting confidence and self-esteem. Fortunately, Clinique, a pioneer in skincare innovation, offers a range of products specifically designed to target and diminish the appearance of dark spots. In this comprehensive guide, we explore Clinique’s dark spot solutions, providing expert insights, effective treatments, and home remedies for achieving a luminous, even-toned complexion.

Clinique Expert Tip: Dark Spot Removal Use a dark spot corrector, such as Clinique’s Even Better Clinical Radical Dark Spot Corrector + Interrupter, twice daily to target stubborn discoloration and promote skin renewal. Apply sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection daily to prevent further darkening of existing spots and protect against future sun damage. Incorporate gentle exfoliation into your skincare routine to remove dead skin cells and encourage cell turnover, allowing dark spots to fade more quickly. Maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress levels, as these factors can impact skin health and contribute to dark spot formation. Consider incorporating brightening ingredients, such as vitamin C and niacinamide, into your skincare routine to help lighten dark spots and improve overall skin tone.

Home Remedies for Dark Spots: While Clinique’s products work wonders, consider complementing them with natural remedies: 🍋Lemon Juice: Apply fresh lemon juice to dark spots using a cotton pad and leave on for 10–15 minutes before rinsing off. Lemon juice contains natural acids that help lighten hyperpigmentation and brighten the skin. 🍎🍺Apple Cider Vinegar: Dilute apple cider vinegar with water and apply to dark spots using a cotton pad. Apple cider vinegar helps exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover, reducing the appearance of dark spots over time. 🍯Honey: Massage raw honey onto dark spots and leave on for 20–30 minutes before rinsing off. Honey is known for its moisturizing and antibacterial properties, making it an effective natural remedy for dark spots. 🌿Aloe Vera: Extract fresh gel from an aloe leaf and apply it to dark spots.

Say hello to a luminous, spot-free complexion with Clinique. 🌟😊 #CliniqueSkincare #HealthySkin #DermatologistApproved. #CliniqueDarkSpots #ClearSkin #SkincareRoutine #DarkSpotRemoval

The Restaurant

By: Pamela Kelley

This is a novel about three sisters, an inherited Nantucket restaurant with one year before they can sell.

Mandy, Emma and Jill are as close as three sisters who live hundreds of miles apart can be.

Meet the sisters:

Jill lives a glamorous life in Manhattan as a co-owner of a successful executive search firm. Never married, she is in her mid-thirties and lives in a stunning, corner condo with breathtaking views of the city and Hudson River.

Emma lives in Arizona and is an elementary school teacher and an aspiring photographer.

Mandy followed her high school boyfriend, Cory to Boston College, and right after graduation, they married and settled in Dover.

The twist:

When their grandmother, Ethel Ferguson passes in her sleep a week before her ninety-ninth birthday she leaves them quite a surprise her home and Mimi’s Place, one of Nantucket’s most popular year-round restaurants in her will. There was of course, a catch--she left the restaurant equally to Mandy, Emma, and Jill--and also to Paul, the chef for the past fifteen years.

And before they could sell, all three girls needed to work at the restaurant for a period of one year--or else the entire restaurant would go to Paul.

The same Paul that broke Emma's heart many years ago.

Summer is almost here, and it's time to upgrade your wardrobe. Whether you’re lounging at the beach, exploring the city, or enjoying a picnic in the park, these wardrobe essentials will help you capture the soft girl vibe all summer long. Here’s your detailed guide to creating a summer wardrobe that embodies this look:

╰┈➤ Basic Tees

Start with a collection of basic tees in neutral colors like white, gray, black, and brown. These pieces can be mixed and matched with various bottoms, making them a staple in any summer wardrobe. Opt for tees made from lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen to keep cool in the heat.

⤹⤷ Styling Tips:

✿ Pair a white tee with high-waisted denim shorts and sneakers for a casual day out.

✿ Tuck a gray tee into a floral skirt and add sandals for a soft, feminine look.

✿ Layer a black tee under a sundress for a trendy, layered outfit.

╰┈➤ Linen Shorts

Linen shorts are a summer must-have for their breathability and comfort. They come in a variety of colors and styles, but for the aesthetic, choose soft pastel colors or earth tones. These shorts can be dressed up or down and are perfect for staying cool during hot summer days.

⤹⤷ Styling Tips:

✿ Match pastel linen shorts with a white cotton tank top for a fresh, airy look.

✿ Pair earth-toned linen shorts with a light, patterned blouse and espadrilles.

✿ Add a straw hat and a wicker bag to complete the outfit for a beach day.

╰┈➤ Flowy Maxi Dress

A flowy maxi dress in a light fabric is perfect for those hot summer days. Look for dresses with floral prints or in single pastel shades. Maxi dresses are not only comfortable but also versatile enough for various occasions, from casual outings to more formal events.

⤹⤷ Styling Tips:

✿ Wear a floral maxi dress with flat sandals and a crossbody bag for a day out.

✿ Add a denim jacket and ankle boots for a chic evening look.

✿ Accessorize with delicate jewelry and a sunhat for a garden party or brunch.

╰┈➤ Cotton Tank Tops

Tank tops are essential for layering or wearing on their own. Choose cotton for its cooling properties, and select a variety of colors to mix and match with different outfits. Tank tops are perfect for creating a laid-back, casual look while staying cool in the summer heat.

Invest in comfortable sandals or espadrilles that you can walk in all day without sacrificing style. Opt for footwear that complements your summer wardrobe, such as neutral tones or soft pastels. Comfort is key, so look for cushioned soles and supportive straps.

⤹⤷ Styling Tips:

✿ Wear espadrilles with a sundress and a straw hat for a quintessential summer look.

✿ Pair strappy sandals with linen shorts and a tank top for a casual day out.

✿ Choose slip-on sandals for easy, everyday wear with any outfit.

╰┈➤ Lightweight Cardigan

For cooler evenings, a lightweight cardigan in a neutral color will keep you warm without detracting from your soft girl look. Cardigans are perfect for layering and can easily be carried in your bag during the day and thrown on when the temperature drops.
