Books To The Tea

If you're new here let me share that I am a huge baby when it comes to scary things. I do however try to get in the spirit of Halloween, and with Friday the 13th being in October I knew I had to embrace it, and get into reading some creepy reads.  I want to recommend some books that I have read that aren't too scary, but are atmospheric and will get you in the Friday 13th and Halloween mood.  The Body Finder Violet has always had an unusual gift. She can sense out dead bodies, but only bodies that have been murdered. On top of being able to find the bodies she can also feel the echoes they leave behind, and the imprints that come from the killer. When murders start occurring in her small town, Violet starts using her gift to identify the killer. Little does Violet know that while she is trying to discover the killer, the killer is hunting her. This book read like a thriller. It was gripping, creepy, dark, and left me chilled to the bone. I picked this b...

To say I have dry skin is an understatement. My skin has always been dry, and yes even when I drink my body weight in water. It's just something I have come to terms with, but when it starts to get cold, my alligator skin comes out to play.  Today I thought I would share what I have found that seems to calm my sensitive dry skin, and a bonus helps keep my skin clear.  PS: This is not a sponsored post. These are items that I have found throughout the years while trying to battle alligator skin.  Purity Facial Cleanser I use this gentle face wash in the morning. I need a very gentle cleanser for the mornings. This is made to melt away oil, makeup, and dirt. It also has properties in it that lightly tone and hydrate your skin. I think it's the perfect light face wash for the mornings when I just need something to wash away the dirt and oil from the night.  Take a Deep Breath Moisturizer I love this lightweight gel moisturiz...

I gravitate to book that are about witches year-round, but witchy reads are extra special and atmospheric this time of year. While I love to read, right now I am having to read on a budget, and I know I'm not alone. I thought while doing a witchy TBR would be fun, I thought an inexpensive TBR would be even better!  Let's start with what I am reading  Witch Cake Murders "Ava Rose just turned twenty-one, and with her birthday came a few surprises. One: she's a witch. Two: she's part owner of a magical bakery she never knew existed. Three: Someone wants her dead. " I am in the middle of this,and it's a quirky cozy mystery with magic and baking I am loving it. The best part of this book has to be that it's FREE on kindle unlimited, and IT'S ONLY $0.99 ON KINDLE!!!!!  Now on to the TBR  The Wicked Deep This is being pitched as a mix between Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic. Honestly I really don't need to know anythi...
