A collage image showcasing various Boston bookstores, featuring an exterior with a 'Books' sign and string lights, and interiors filled with shelves of books. An overlay reads, 'Boston's hidden bookstore gems: 6 spots that feel like they're straight out of a movie.'
Which bookstore would you rush to first?
I’ve been hoarding Boston’s cutest bookshops in my “save for later” folder for months. Today, we’re actually talking about them (and no, they’re not just for Instagram). 1. Brattle Book Shop (Downtown) 199 years old and smells like a vintage library dream, their $1 outdoor bins are gold. Found

Why you should get a paddle board this summer
My mom got me a paddle board several years ago and I love it. It is great exercise and engages so many muscles in your body when stand up paddle boarding. It’s so relaxing paddle boarding and it’s a really fun activity to do with family and friends. I own a car and don’t always have access to a pic
