Reading: cheaper than therapy📚 💸😌

A few books I want to read this summer. What books have you read or reading right now?!

#readersoflemon8 #reading #readingaesthetic #readingrecommendations #blackgirlreads #bookaesthetic #booksoflemon8 #readingmotivation #selfimprovementbooks #selflovebooks

2024/5/1 Edited to

Reading is an effective way to engage the mind, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. This summer, consider diving into a variety of genres that can stimulate both thought and emotion. From personal development books like 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck' by Mark Manson, which challenges conventional wisdom about happiness, to self-love guides such as 'How to Be True to You' by A'ja Wilson, there’s something for everyone. For those looking for motivational reads, 'Self-Care for Black Women' by Oludara Adeeyo provides vital insights on prioritizing mental and emotional health. Similarly, 'Help Me, I’m Stuck' by Vaughan Carter offers practical methods to shift mindsets and cultivate self-improvement. These books are not only affordable options compared to traditional therapy but also serve as reminders that self-enrichment can come from the pages of a book. Feel free to recommend your favorites! Use hashtags like #readingrecommendations and #selfimprovementbooks to connect with fellow readers and discover trending titles in the community.

A much cheaper, but just as beautiful option!

Appenzell - I’ve only called 3 places in the world “magical” (to me of course) and Appenzell is one of them! It’s a great alternative to the more known Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. Not only are there less people, it’s much much cheaper than a lot of the more known mountain towns in Switzerland.

i love when you can find a product that is basically the same as the more expensive product instead of milk makeup’s hydro grip primer, try elf cosmetic’s power grip primer 💦 in my opinion, the formula is basically the same. if you want to keep it as similar as possible with the niacinamide, elf
