Just finished…

I just finished Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten & here are my thoughts 💭

•

# 1- I didn’t think it was possible for me to love Ina more than I did before I read this book, but I was SO. WRONG.

# 2- Ina is literally just a girl. She’s a simple, down to earth, hilarious girl. She loves good food, a cozy home, & is always trying to make things beautiful, but simple.

# 3- After reading this book I feel so at peace with my personality trait of always taking on new things & trying my hand at everything.

•

If you’re a fan of Ina, this book is a must-read. Ina walks you through her life, starting in childhood & ending in present day. She talks about meeting her husband & all of their business ventures, the highs & lows of their marriage, plus how Barefoot Contessa came to be & how it’s evolved. She is truly a treasure. ✨

5/5⭐️
