    Weekly Progress #6

    Weekly Progress #6

    09/22 – 09/28 This week’s progress post is an abundance of zeros. Absolutely heinous work on my part. And since I don’t include these little update posts in my word and blog post count – the lack of productivity from me this week is especially glaring. On the bright side, I did get a bit Continue reading

    Spoiler-free Book Review: The Only One Left

    Spoiler-free Book Review: The Only One Left

    ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐  So I finally finished my first read of September this past weekend, and it was The Only One Left by Riley Sager.  The novel took me a bit longer to finish than I expected, perhaps it was because I was coming out of a book slump, or perhaps it was because I had some Continue reading

    Vegan & Gluten-free Dark Chocolate Banana Bread Recipe

    Vegan & Gluten-free Dark Chocolate Banana Bread Recipe

    Happy Sunday! Figured I’d try sharing a recipe I tested out this week for the first time: a healthy-ish dark chocolate banana bread recipe. It could’ve been a tad softer, but considering I demolished half of the loaf already, I’d say it was a success! I’ve made my fair share of regular banana bread and Continue reading
