Reader Question – What do you know about Passionflix? P.S. I am LOVING it!

June 11, 2020 By Maryse 2 Comments

Looking for something to watch this weekend. Trust me… this is TOTALLY book related and I. AM. SQUEEEEEEING!!!! I had been getting a few people messaging me recently inquiring about Passionflix and what I thought of it?

My issue was… I had never signed up. Why? ’cause I struggle with watching movies on my laptop because I USE my laptop and work while I watch movies on my TV. BUT GUESS WHAT?? YOU CAN NOW watch it on your TV!! And now… it’s MINE!!!!

Trina: Hi Maryse. I read this article and couldn’t remember if you ever talked about this movie streaming service. I had never heard of it. The movie about Hollywood Dirt caught my eye. I loved that book. And I think you’ve reviewed some of the other movies based on romance novels. It is an interesting article. She sounds like an interesting woman. Thanks! Love your blog! read more

My review of the BenQ e-Reading LED Desk Lamp that I use as my reading lamp

January 22, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

BenQ e-Reading LED Desk Lamp with Swing Arm, Auto-Dimming and Hue Adjustment, No Screen Glare, Eye Care, Perfect for Designers, Engineers, Architects, Reading, Office – Silver

The lamp I received, in use. I tried to capture the two different lighting temperatures and various dimming but it’s not coming through in the photos.

Over the last few days I’ve been using this reading lamp (can also be used as a desk lamp) that I received from the BenQ company for review. And this thing is pretty great overall! It’s almost exactly what I needed (at least, by way of my needs for when I read a print book, vs. my Kindle). Almost, you ask? Well about 85% perfect (and I’ll get to that in a bit). read more

Reader Confession – We love talking books annnnnd….skincare!

March 18, 2019 By Maryse 1 Comment

Makeup & Skincare Chat ➔ SKIN CARE

Tasha: I don’t wanna blow this whistle too early, so *knocks on wood*, but I went back to my Doterra skin care after baby. Now, after both previous babies, I’d get big hormonal acne for a week or 2, always. I didn’t have Doterra then and I’d use Neutrogena, Clean & Clear, Olay acne stuff, or sensitive and acne spot treatments. It was ok, never great. THIS time however, nothing near as bad!

Now, at first I did the face wash and toner in this kit and added a drop of Doterra e.o. Juniper Berry to to doTERRA HD Clear Facial Lotion every night after a shower. Worked great. Then I stopped the Juniper Berry, for no real reason, I’m just lazy, I guess and continued the face wash, toner and HD lotion and used the spot treatment whenever one popped up. That’s always worked just ok for me. read more

Reader Confession – We love talking books annnnnd….makeup brushes!

March 18, 2019 By Maryse 4 Comments

Makeup & Skincare Chat ➔ MAKEUP BRUSHES:

Tasha J: I just bought the beauty blender from Sephora and I got the cleaner for it too. I bought all my bare minerals makeup and mascara from Sephora too. But when I bought makeup yesterday, I bought it from our local Peebles, cuz I don’t have time or patience for anything else. It’s este lauder. They have Clinique too and that’s it. When I checked Amazon for the beauty blender yesterday, the reviews all said it was fake fake fake, so I don’t trust it. read more

Reader Confession – We love talking books annnnnd….eyebrows!

March 18, 2019 By Maryse 4 Comments

Makeup & Skincare Chat ➔ BROWS:

Tasha: So, question for all you make-up lovers: do ya’ll fill your brows? I’m not a huge make-up person, I wear it a few times a year. Even though I like the look with it on better, it’s not something I like to incorporate into my routine and it took a long time to be comfortable without so, there’s that. And when I do wear, I like the most natural look possible.

Anyway, I know this brow filling thing is a trend, but I would’ve never considered doing it for myself. And my hairdresser begged me to fill my brows just to see what it would look like, and I might like it. Maybe. But, I hate the thought of make up on my eyebrows, it weirds me out. read more
