I know fall is around the corner! Not because the weather is getting cooler because that is definitely not happening but because I have an itch for thriller books. The first chapter in and I’m hooked. She is walking down the aisle to her husband and half way down she realizes there is a different man waiting to marry her.

Before I get into my burger, I have to laugh at my side of fruit being just a large chunk of watermelon. I truly had to use my knife and fork to get into that thing. I ordered the Peanut Butter and Jelly Burger. Before you tell me EW… it was FABULOUS. It wasn’t my first time having a PB&J burger and it won’t be my last. I just trust that a weird combo with food at a restaurant will be good. I’m not the culinary expert! I trusted the experts and it is indeed a great combo. Don’t knock it before you try it!

Taylor Swift announced her 12th album. I’m happy for the Swifties…but they are just such a well fed fanbase! I am still waiting on ANY of my divas to release new music. I was recently listening to Apple by Charli XCX and felt myself forgetting the apple dance! I never even formally learned the apple dance but since I was so locked in on BRAT tik tok, my body just knew! I am begging any of my artists to release new music because I am ready. Thank you Chappell for releasing ‘The Subway,’ I will take what I can get.

Song Recommendation: The Subway by Chappell Roan

I agree entirely with Brooke and Conner’s take that Oysters look gorgeous but they also disgust them. Brooke, Conner, and I have no desire to eat oysters. Sue me! I once was told that I look like I would enjoy oysters and I took that as a compliment because they are truly so chic. I give you props if you are about the oyster life. I just cannot join that journey.

Yes… I am locked in to watching this Scooby-Doo series on Netflix. I have a soft spot for this franchise and honestly this show is pretty good. My only problem with the show is that I’m almost positive that this show was written by a man based off of how Velma and Daphne are written to lose themselves over men. I’m willing to look past that for the mysteries of it all.

You might be tired of readers saying, “the book was better.” But that is because the book is typically better! I’m not sure why tv/movie adaptations have such a difficult time getting it right. This movie made me appreciate the book more. If I hadn’t read the book, I could have seen this as a decent, cheesy Netflix romance, but it was too late for me. Immediately after seeing the trailer, I knew this book was going to focus on the romance aspect way more than the book did. The book was about the female lead finding herself while the movie was about her being down bad for a man she hung out with from time to time.

Rating: 4/10

Not every book has an obvious theme for a real life party but when you read a book featuring a hot dog party it seems like fate? Although I enjoy every book club gathering, this one was my favorite. I’m not sure if it is possible to only pick future books with hot dog parties featured in the plot but I would love to do that.

Las Culturistas Culture Awards is the award show we all were yearning for. Without it, we would have never gotten Ben Platt’s Diet Pepsi cover. I’m not even a musical theater girly and this cover sends me into another dimension. It’s almost like Ben just understands girlhood.

I love coffee table books. I love stickers. I have anxiety. Obviously I have zero faith in myself that where I put my sticker will be the correct placement. I decided that I would find a cute journal and make it my sticker book. I have way too many stickers to keep them hidden away. They are now featured in my DIY sticker book. Of course I could have purchased an actual sticker book with the special paper but that just did not do it for me in the aesthetic department.

I’ve been to Verde Garden a handful of times and I’m upset that this was my first time ordering the Cafe de Olla margarita. It tasted nothing like a marg and everything like a Frappuccino. It was fabulous. After this I was out to the bars and ordering my boring vodka soda but at dinner? That is the time to treat yourself with an obnoxious and fun drink! I’m not ordering fajitas so I might as well order a drink that will make people turn their heads.

What happened to Hello?
