This Time Tomorrow plus salty vanilla

I loved This Time Tomorrow…I gave it 4.5 stars. If you like magical realism and a heartfelt family story that isn’t overly sad or sentimental (despite serious topics), I recommend it!

The Kopari…it’s ok. The mist is not worth $20 and I wouldn’t rely on it for SPF but it’s fun to spritz on at the beach! 🏖️ #beachandbook #beachread #perfume #summerperfume

... Read moreReading This Time Tomorrow was a truly immersive experience for me. Emma Straub expertly captures the delicate balance between confronting difficult topics and maintaining a hopeful, heartfelt tone. The blend of magical realism with a strong family narrative, especially the theme of time travel back to the 90s, brought nostalgia without overwhelming sentimentality. It reminded me of cherished moments from my own teenage years and how precious time with loved ones truly is. On the beauty side, I also tried the Kopari vanilla breeze mist featured alongside the book. While it’s not a reliable SPF, the light salty vanilla scent was incredibly refreshing and subtle—perfect for a day at the beach or when you want a quick spritz of fragrance without feeling overpowered. The mist’s portability in its cute checkered bag makes it ideal for travel. However, I found it important to still apply proper sunscreen underneath because the mist’s SPF protection is limited. Overall, pairing a captivating read like This Time Tomorrow with a lightly scented, fun body mist makes for a relaxing summer ritual. It’s little moments like these—combining sensory experiences with meaningful stories—that really enrich my beach or vacation days.
