Hello, all! This monthly favorites is full of all the good things- it's going up a bit earlier as I'm going to be away next week for Thanksgiving and just want to get content out of the way for this month. I have a one to two holiday / wintry posts coming including a yearly favorites roundup & maybe doing a book wrap up as I've been on a reading spree this year- we'll see.
Anyways, let's get to the things I was grateful for this month!

Favorite Body Care and / or Skincare:
Being Frenshe Limited Edition Moon Milk Scented Body Lotion- plus the body spray of the same scent (notes of creamy oat milk, warm vanilla, fresh nutmeg, & ginger flower)- This scent combo smells so cozy + soft- how this is only limited edition? Should be an all time option if you ask me!

Favorite Book(s) I've Read:
Society of Lies by Lauren Ling Brown: This book was so good from beginning to end- it was full of twists & turns! Couldn't put this one down no matter how hard I tried to! I'll link it-https://www.amazon.com/Society-Lies-Lauren-Ling-Brown/dp/059372335X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8BXrPClPiLWyfEUw1IPF3a3UaE38PQE4fk4k0Xjfk5Bpf6bj7f6S16-5lnvVgX8Wl8ElHkFKUWlU7xvFf0jqKioichPM3Kq2CTYXCPpd1vFGjLLgMdf0B160tl1wN5-Bm4RqYjxvdPfz1sCBslCQxsiiTy9_35MEboOqyooXjWZsdoSeeh0f8ZamsxSxutx_.gV0JG8d6DqkYxy75ch-1b8Et3yL3TnZ_bgaY2WaY4H8&qid=1732211777&sr=8-1
PS I Hate You by Lauren Connolly (early release pick from my November 2024 Book of the Month- release date on this one is 12/3/2024): This book was a good pick for this month- it had all of the rom-com bits, the sad bits, and parts that make you wanna gasp + shock at times. A wholesome read for me! Definitely get this read if you are a rom-com fan when it's available on 12/3/2024 (there are some spicy bits in it, but if that isn't your thing I wouldn't recommend it when it's out in stores!). I'll link it- https://www.amazon.com/PS-Hate-You-Lauren-Connolly-ebook/dp/B0CW1DCP9Q/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2KVZ206P17G0R&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.h_eBmCfQFPdzYQFeyTm3J7wJHEPzrKzEUlVafnL3zlsJqLP-IVlfWzIRjCgos78XeFzQAp3JqMNvQ_f4jbcNpQ.Jt5DWmc2kp7gtvHSb6cg6LOVj6yI_bsSXRZKsNV-r2o&dib_tag=se&keywords=ps+i+hateyou+lauren&qid=1732211814&sprefix=ps+i+%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-1
