Reminders of Him

Kenna has just been released from prison after being involved in a car crash with her boyfriend, Scotty, in which he died. She survived the accident. Now, she has returned to the small town where she fell in love with him. But the main reason she’s back is to see her daughter, the child she had with Scotty, who was taken away from her at birth while she was in prison.

Now, Kenna is determined to prove that she can be a good mother.

Review

I had very low expectations for this movie. I’ve watched two other movies based on books by Colleen Hoover (It Ends With Us and Regretting You), and I wasn’t the biggest fan of those stories. Regretting You especially felt a bit boring to me. Still, I wanted to give this one a chance because the trailer looked promising.

And honestly, it wasn’t that bad. I actually think this might be the best story by Colleen Hoover so far. I know we’re also getting Verity this year, but I’ve read that book and wasn’t that impressed—it was just okay for me. Still, I’m curious to see how the movie adaptation will turn out.

Back to this movie called Reminders of Him: I thought it was a beautiful but sad story.

Kenna hasn’t been able to see her daughter because she was in prison after the accident where Scotty died. She left the scene, which is why she went to jail. But, of course, nothing is exactly as it seems—her side of the story is more complicated. She writes letters about what really happened that day and continues to write to Scotty, who was the love of her life.

Now that she’s back in town, people refuse to hire her because of her past. Ledger is one of the people keeping her away from her daughter, but they start spending more time together. He begins to see that she isn’t dangerous, and once he learns what really happened, he starts to help her.

Kenna was a likable character. She respects the boundaries set by others but still holds on to the hope that she’ll one day see her daughter again. The chemistry between Ledger and Kenna was really good, which made the story more engaging. It’s also quite emotional. Imagine losing the love of your life, spending years in prison, and then not being able to see your own child.

So yes, I would say this is my favorite Colleen Hoover story so far. It has romance, drama, and emotional depth. I actually had a pretty good time watching it. It definitely wasn’t as bad as I expected.

When people hear the term ADHD, many still picture a young, hyperactive boy who can’t sit still in class. But that stereotype is outdated, and often harmful. The other day I was reading a book and I could relate to the main character. And then the main character found out that she had ADHD. I am not saying I have ADHD (never been tested) but it shows that our view of what ADHD is completely wrong. Because I never thought about those symptoms were a part of ADHD.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects people of all ages, genders, and personalities. It doesn’t always look like hyperactivity, and it definitely isn’t something that only boys experience. In fact, many girls and women go undiagnosed for years because their symptoms can look very different.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, impulses, and activity levels. And while some people with ADHD are hyperactive, many are not. Some may even appear quiet, calm, or “daydreamy” on the outside, while their minds are constantly racing.

In this blog post, we’ll break down what ADHD really is and explore the most common symptoms. But please know that I am not an expert. If you think you might have ADHD, you should get tested by a professional.

Common Symptoms of ADHD

1. Difficulty focusing: You may struggle to stay focused on tasks, especially if they are boring or repetitive. Your attention can drift quickly, even when you’re trying your best to concentrate.
2. Easily distracted: Small things, like noises, notifications, or your own thoughts, can pull your attention away from what you’re doing.
3. Forgetfulness: You might forget appointments, tasks, or where you placed things. Daily responsibilities can feel harder to keep track of.
4. Trouble with organization: Planning, structuring tasks, or keeping your space organized can feel overwhelming or exhausting.
5. Procrastination: Starting tasks can be difficult, especially if they feel boring or stressful. You may delay things until the last minute.
6. Impulsivity: You might act or speak without thinking things through, interrupt others, or make quick decisions you later regret.
7. Hyperactivity or restlessness: This doesn’t always mean being physically hyper. It can also show up as feeling internally restless, fidgeting, or always needing to do something.
8. Overthinking: Your mind may feel constantly busy, jumping from thought to thought or replaying situations over and over.
9. Emotional sensitivity: Emotions can feel more intense. You might get overwhelmed, frustrated, or upset more quickly than others.
10. Difficulty relaxing: Even when you try to rest, your mind may keep going, making it hard to truly relax.
11. Low motivation (for certain tasks): Tasks that don’t feel interesting or rewarding can be very hard to start or finish, even if you know they’re important.
12. Hyperfocus: On the flip side, you may become extremely focused on things you enjoy, sometimes losing track of time completely.

Fight

Callahan is a firefighter, and he and his team fight wildfires, which can be extremely dangerous. The team is very close, which makes sense since they spend so much time away from home. He isn’t interested in a relationship, especially after the last woman he dated cheated on him.
Prescott has nothing except what she can fit in her car. She has run away from her past and is ready to start a new life. On her first night, she meets Callahan, and they immediately hit it off.
Later, Callahan discovers that Prescott isn’t just new in town, she also works as a nurse. One night, they find themselves stranded together in a dangerous situation, and their relationship begins to grow.

Review

This is the first book in the Sky Ridge Hotshots series, written by three different authors. I think it’s really cool that multiple authors collaborated on one series. The first book is written by Sloane St. James. The entire series focuses on firefighters, and I just realized that I’ve never read a book about firefighters before, at least not that I can remember.

I loved this book from the start. The chemistry between Prescott and Callahan was amazing. Neither of them is looking for a relationship, but as the saying goes, you find love when you least expect it, and that’s exactly what happens here. The romance was really well done, and I enjoyed the writing style a lot. This was my first time reading a book by Sloane St. James (I think), and I was pleasantly surprised. I’ll definitely consider reading more of her work in the future.

I also liked the suspense in the story. Prescott has a mysterious past, and Callahan tries to figure out what she’s hiding—and whether she might already be married. Since he has been cheated on before, he wants to avoid going through that again. The final part of the book was especially good. When something happens to Prescott, they end up in a dangerous situation together and are forced to hide. That moment pushes them to open up and finally talk about their feelings.

I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t give this a 5/5 rating, because I clearly loved it. But I usually reserve 5 stars for books that completely blow me away. So a 4/5 is still a very strong rating for me.

I’m definitely excited to read the next books in the series, written by Paisley Hope and Danielle Baker.

If you’re familiar with getting your period, you know how painful and frustrating it can be. The cramps can make you want to stay in bed all day, wrapped in a blanket, eating chocolate.

But there are actually several ways to help yourself feel better during your period. Over the years, I’ve tried different things, and I’ve found a few tips that really work for me.

In this post, I’m going to share some simple and realistic ways to reduce cramps, feel more comfortable, and take better care of yourself during your period.

How to Feel Better on Your Period (Easy Tips for Cramps & Self-Care)

1. Hot water bottle
   I’m starting with my favorite tip. As soon as I notice the first cramps, I try to pause whatever I’m doing (if possible) and make a hot water bottle. Then I place it on my lower back and relax, usually by watching an episode of something on Netflix. This is my go-to trick. My cramps can get very intense, but as soon as I use a hot water bottle and give myself time to relax, the pain often eases almost immediately. After an hour, or sometimes longer, I feel so much better. For the rest of my period, I’m usually almost pain-free.
2. Drink chamomile tea
   Warm drinks are already helpful for cramps, but chamomile tea has extra benefits. Chamomile is known for its calming and relaxing properties, which can help reduce tension and discomfort. Try drinking one or two cups in the days leading up to your period and during it.
3. Eat healthy
   Eating well can make a big difference. Many women notice fewer or less painful cramps when they maintain a healthy diet. Your body needs extra nutrients during your period, so focus on foods rich in iron (like meat, lentils, and beans) and magnesium (like leafy greens and nuts). These can help support your body and reduce symptoms.
4. Gentle movement
   If your cramps aren’t too severe, gentle movement can help. A short walk, for example, can improve blood circulation, boost your mood, and reduce stress. You don’t have to do intense workouts—just light movement is enough.
5. Rest
   We often have busy lives and forget to listen to our bodies. During your period, your body may need more rest than usual. Don’t feel guilty about taking a nap or relaxing with a show. Pushing yourself too hard can actually make cramps worse.
6. Stay hydrated
   Drinking enough water is important. Staying hydrated can help reduce bloating and may ease cramps. Try to drink water consistently throughout the day.
7. Extra tip: try magnesium or a warm shower
   Magnesium (through food or supplements) can help relax muscles and reduce cramps. A warm shower or bath can also have a similar soothing effect, especially if you let the warm water relax your lower back and stomach.

As a child, I used to bite my nails all the time, and they didn’t look very nice. I’m not exactly sure why I started, but I think it mostly happened when I was bored.

Then one day, I decided to stop and start taking care of my nails. As a result, they became stronger, longer, and much prettier.

Maybe you also want to stop biting your nails and grow them out. If so, this blog post is for you—I’m going to share how you can stop biting your nails and help them grow.

How to Stop Biting Your Nails

1. Band-Aids
   If you find yourself biting your nails non-stop and can’t seem to stop, it might help to create a physical barrier. You may be doing it unconsciously, so wearing bandages on your fingertips can make you more aware of the habit. Yes, it might look a bit unusual to wear several bandages, but you can choose to wear them only at home or during the times when you tend to bite your nails the most. For example, maybe you do it while watching TV or sitting at your desk at work. This small step can help break the automatic behavior.
   
2. Anti-biting nail polish
   There are special nail polishes designed to help with nail biting. They are usually transparent, so you can still apply a colored polish on top if you like. These polishes have a very bitter taste, which discourages you from biting your nails.
   On top of that, they often strengthen your nails, making them harder to bite. It’s a simple but effective way to reduce the habit over time.
   
3. Find a new habit
   Nail biting is often linked to stress or boredom. If that’s the case, try to reduce your stress levels where possible. At the same time, it helps to replace the habit with something else. You could use a stress ball, a fidget toy, or even just keep your hands busy with something like doodling or playing with a pen. The goal is to give your hands something else to do instead of biting your nails.
   
4. Make them look nice
   When you put effort into making your nails look nice, you’re less likely to ruin them. This is something that helped me a lot. Once I started painting my nails and taking care of them, I felt proud of how they looked. As they started to grow, I didn’t want to bite them anymore because I didn’t want to lose that progress. It became a positive cycle, taking care of them made me want to keep them healthy.
   
5. Take care of your nails and fingers
   Healthy nails are less tempting to bite. Use cuticle oil to keep the skin around your nails soft and hydrated. You can also use a nail file to smooth out rough edges, which might otherwise trigger you to start biting. Taking care of your nails regularly can make a big difference and help you feel more in control of the habit.

FOMO, or “fear of missing out,” is a term we are all familiar with. It’s something we’ve been talking about for years. There was even a counter-movement called JOMO, the “joy of missing out.” But FOMO hasn’t disappeared.

There are still many people who sit at home and feel like they’re missing out on something, mostly because we are connected 24/7. I experience it sometimes too. I love spending my Saturday evening at home with a good book, but I can still get the feeling that I should be out at parties or having fun with friends.

What is FOMO

As I mentioned, FOMO stands for “fear of missing out.” You might recognize that feeling when you’re sitting at home. At first, you feel comfortable and content. But then you pick up your phone and see videos and photos of your friends having a great time. Suddenly, you feel like you’re missing out and that you should be out at a party or doing something exciting, even though, just a minute ago, you were perfectly fine.

With social media, this feeling has probably become even stronger. You see someone at a party and suddenly wish you were there. Or you see someone at a concert and wish you were there too. It creates the feeling that your life is boring or that you’re missing out on something better.

But you can also experience FOMO in everyday conversations. When people talk about their amazing weekends or exciting experiences from the past, you might start to feel like you’re missing out. Even without social media, that feeling can still show up.

How to Get Rid of FOMO

Spend less time on social media
Like I said, one of the biggest reasons we experience FOMO (fear of missing out) is because we constantly see other people, including our friends, having fun and doing exciting things. It’s easy to compare our lives to theirs. But if you spend your weekend on the couch reading a great book, that doesn’t make your life any less valuable. The moment you open social media, you might suddenly feel like you’re missing out, but that feeling is often created by what you see online, not by your actual life. Try putting your phone away more often and focus on what you want to do. You’re not boring for enjoying a quiet evening with a book. In fact, you’re choosing what truly makes you happy.

Put everything into perspective
It’s impossible to be everywhere at once, which means you are always missing out on something. And that’s okay. If you’re at an amazing concert, you might be missing another great event, a party, or even a once-in-a-lifetime moment happening somewhere else. You simply can’t do everything. Once you accept that, it becomes easier to let go of FOMO and enjoy where you are.

Analyze your thoughts and feelings
Ask yourself: do you actually want to go to that party because it excites you, or are you just afraid of missing out? Being honest with yourself can help you make better decisions. Sometimes the desire to go somewhere doesn’t come from genuine interest, but from pressure or fear. Recognizing that difference is very powerful.

Learn to say no
Sometimes you don’t even want to go to an event, but you still say yes because you’re afraid of missing something. It’s easy to imagine saying no and then hearing the next day how amazing it was. But if you truly don’t feel like going, whether you’re tired, not feeling well, or just need time for yourself, it’s okay to say no. Choosing yourself is more important than trying to be everywhere.

Talk about it
If you’re really struggling with FOMO, it can help to talk about it. Share your feelings with friends, or even a professional if needed. You might be surprised to find that many people feel the same way, even those who seem to be doing everything. No one is completely immune to FOMO. In some ways, it’s just a part of being human.

Hoppers

Mabel used to struggle with anger issues until her grandmother showed her a special place that brought her a lot of peace. But after her grandmother’s death, the place is no longer filled with animals.

With the help of technology, she transforms into a beaver and sets out to discover why the animals left. She also tries to bring them back before the mayor destroys the area to build a new highway.

Review

I saw the trailer for this movie and got really excited. It looked like a very cute film. I love animated movies, and I knew I wanted to watch this one as well.

If you love animated movies and cute animals, then you’re probably going to enjoy this one too. It’s a beautiful story about a girl trying to save a special place she used to share with her grandmother. Mabel struggles with anger issues, although personally I think it’s more that she deeply cares about animals and nature. When her grandmother shows her this place, it brings her peace. But when the animals start disappearing, she decides to take action and save this place.

Mabel’s biggest enemy is the mayor. I liked how she stands up for what she believes in, even though the mayor doesn’t care at all. He is only focused on building a new highway and expanding the city. He doesn’t care about the animals or nature, and he’s even partly responsible for driving them away.

There’s also a funny side to the movie. At one point, Mabel discovers that her professor has created a mechanical beaver, and with the help of a machine, it’s possible to transfer a human mind into it. Mabel decides to do this because she believes she can save everything by becoming a beaver and bringing the animals back. As a beaver, she can communicate with other animals, which leads to some really fun and cute moments.

Some of the animals were absolutely hilarious. I laughed a lot at Kinga, the Insect Queen’s son. He acts like a villain, but in a very funny way.

The movie also has some emotional moments. At the beginning, you see Mabel with her grandmother, who later passes away. And when Mabel turns into a beaver, she forms a bond with King George, but eventually she has to return to her human body.

Overall, it’s a beautiful movie with an important message. We should take better care of animals and nature. We are often so focused on building roads and cities that we forget how important nature really is. Without it, we wouldn’t even exist. I would definitely recommend this movie.

There are several ways to make your life a little easier and better, and one of them is preparing for a new week. Your workweek is usually the busiest part of your schedule, so why not prepare for it during the weekend or even on Friday afternoon?

This way, you’ll have more time in the morning, feel more relaxed, and won’t have to think about everything you need to do. It’s a great way to start your week strong. Of course, not everyone has a 9-to-5 job or weekends off, but you can still use most of Weekly Reset Routine Tips and adapt them to your own schedule.

Weekly Reset Routine

1. Make a to-do list
   I recommend doing this on Friday afternoon, when you’re almost done with your workweek. Write down everything you need to do for the following week and create two categories: one for important/urgent tasks and one for less important tasks. The moment you write everything down, you clear your mind. This means you can start your weekend with a calm head and actually enjoy your days off. Plus, on Monday you immediately know what to focus on, starting with your most important tasks.
   
2. Clean your space
   Clean your home on the weekend, many people already do this, especially on Sundays. It’s a great habit. When your space is less cluttered and dirty, you feel better mentally. And honestly, there’s nothing better than coming home to a clean house. Most people don’t love cleaning, but you can make it more enjoyable. Listen to your favorite podcast, audiobook, or music. It makes the process more fun. And after you’re done, you can reward yourself.
   
3. Prepare your outfits
   Imagine waking up and realizing you still have to choose an outfit. For some people, that’s easy, but for others it can take a long time. That’s why it helps to prepare your outfits for the week in advance. This way, you don’t have to think about it in the morning, which saves time and reduces stress.
   
4. Set goals
   Set SMART goals: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound. Don’t set unrealistic goals, like reading for five hours a day when you don’t have the time. You can also set small daily goals. Setting goals helps you stay focused, and achieving them gives you a sense of accomplishment.
   
5. Meal planning
   A lot of people struggle with deciding what to eat for dinner. When you don’t plan ahead, it’s easy to end up choosing fast or unhealthy food at the last minute. That’s okay sometimes, but not every day. Planning your meals can really help, especially when you’re busy. It often leads to healthier choices. You can even prepare meals in advance so you only have to reheat them.
   
6. Take care of yourself
   This is something you should prioritize every day. Make sure you get enough sleep, even on weekends, as it gives you more energy. Create an evening routine that helps you fall asleep faster and sleep better. Eat well and move your body. You don’t have to run a marathon or spend hours at the gym; even a simple walk is beneficial.
   
7. Plan fun activities regularly
   A lot of people live for the weekend. They work Monday through Friday and only make time for fun at the end of the week. I understand that not everyone has the time or money to do something fun every day, but try to plan a few enjoyable activities during the week. This gives you something to look forward to, and fun activities help reduce stress. It doesn’t have to be expensive, you can have a movie night or play board games with friends or family.
   
8. Don’t stress too much
   Too much stress isn’t healthy, so try to avoid it where you can. Find ways to relax and slow down. You don’t always have to push yourself to work faster and harder. Take your time with your to-do list. Even if you don’t love your job, there are often small ways to make your days feel a little better.

It Seemed Like A Good Idea

Ripley and Hannah are twins. Ripley owns a lavender farm, while Hannah is an actress. Now, Hannah is going to film her new movie at Ripley’s farm. Because they are identical twins, Ripley also needs a bodyguard. That’s when she finds out who will be protecting her for the next few weeks—it’s Banks, the guy she met not too long ago, who suddenly ghosted her.

When Banks discovers that Ripley is his next client, he feels conflicted. He wants to stay professional, but that becomes very difficult when you’re around someone 24/7.

Review

I was looking for new books to read when I came across this one. The cover looked cute, and the story sounded even cuter. So the moment this book was released, I got it.

I love small-town romance stories, they never get old. I really liked that Ripley owns a lavender farm. I’ve read books about characters who own farms before, but never a lavender farm. I even started imagining what that would be like. I love lavender, so I immediately loved the setting. Small towns in books are always the cutest. Everyone helps each other, and it kind of reminds me of where I grew up, just without the lavender farm.

The characters were very likable. I enjoyed their personalities, and together they were great. There was so much chemistry between them, and I absolutely loved the banter. It had everything I needed. There’s also a bit of a side story about a movie being filmed in this small town, so it’s like small-town charm meets Hollywood vibes. It was really fun.

The reason I didn’t give this a 5/5 rating is because, toward the end, it felt a bit underwhelming, more “just okay” than amazing. It was still good, but the first half (or even more than half) was so strong that the ending didn’t quite match it. That said, something interesting does happen toward the end. Just when I thought it would be a slow and average ending, the author added some action. I mean, since Banks is a bodyguard, I expected a bit more action overall, maybe involving crazy fans or the press. A little more of that would have made it even better.

Overall, I still really enjoyed this book. It was definitely a page-turner, and I think it’s the perfect read for spring.

Apparently, this is going to be the first book in the Darling Springs series. I looked it up, and the next book is already set to be released in August, which is only five months away. I also checked the synopsis, and it sounds so good.

In a world where society expects us to balance a work life, family life, social life, and personal life, a new trend is emerging, or maybe it’s just my algorithm. Either way, I’m really enjoying it. I love my weekends when I don’t have many plans and can simply slow down.

In this blog post, I will briefly explain what it is and how you can implement it in your daily life.

What is Slow Living?

I mean, this may not come as a surprise, but slow living means slowing down and doing less. Whenever I go outside, I see so many people rushing, going to work, doing grocery shopping, heading to the gym, shopping for clothes, and trying to maintain a social life all in one day.

With slow living, you decide what is truly important to you and take your time doing those things. Instead of trying to do everything at once, you focus on one task and move on to the next when you’re finished.

Slow living also means taking the time to enjoy the little things, like a simple cup of tea. It helps you become more present and appreciate the moment you’re in.

How To Slow Down

1. No screens before a certain time
   The way you start your day sets the tone for the rest of it. If you wake up and immediately start scrolling on your phone, you often end up rushing because you’re running late. Try putting your phone away, you don’t need it first thing in the morning. Take your time to get ready and enjoy the quiet, peaceful start of the day (unless, of course, you have kids—then it might be a bit more chaotic). Reducing screen time, especially in the morning, can help you feel calmer and more in control. It allows you to start your day with intention instead of reacting to notifications and information overload.
   
2. One task at a time
   Some people believe multitasking is efficient, but research suggests otherwise. You might feel like you’re getting more done, but in reality, you’re more likely to make mistakes. Then you have to go back and fix them, which actually costs you more time. Focusing on one task at a time helps you slow down and be more present. You’ll often notice that your work improves and you feel less overwhelmed.
   
3. Practice mindfulness
   Mindfulness helps you stay present, which is exactly what you need when you’re trying to slow down. Instead of thinking about the past or worrying about the future, mindfulness brings your attention back to the present moment. You can practice mindfulness in simple ways: by focusing on your breathing, paying attention while you eat, or fully engaging in whatever task you’re doing. Even a few minutes a day can make a difference. Over time, it can help quiet your mind and reduce the urge to overthink.
   
4. Take intentional breaks
   Slowing down doesn’t mean doing nothing, it means giving yourself space to recharge. Taking short breaks throughout the day can help reset your mind and improve your focus. Go for a short walk, stretch, or just sit quietly for a few minutes. These small pauses can make a big difference in how you feel.
   
5. Do less in a day
   You don’t have to fill every hour of your day to be productive. In fact, doing less often helps you do things better. Try to limit your to-do list to a few important tasks instead of overwhelming yourself with too much. Give yourself permission to slow down and focus on what truly matters.
   
6. Allow yourself to be bored
   We are so used to constant stimulation, phones, music, videos, that being bored can feel uncomfortable. But boredom is actually good for you. It gives your brain space to rest, process, and even be creative. You don’t always have to “fill the silence.” Sometimes, doing nothing is exactly what you need.
   
7. Find slow hobbies
   Slow hobbies can help you relax and be present. Think about activities like reading, journaling, gardening, drawing, or even cooking. These hobbies don’t rush you, they encourage you to take your time and enjoy the process instead of focusing only on the result.
   
8. Go for a walk in nature
   Spending time in nature can be very calming. Going for a walk outside, whether it’s in a park, a forest, or just a quiet street—can help clear your mind. It gives you a break from screens and noise, and it allows you to slow down naturally.
   
9. Set boundaries with your time
   You don’t have to say yes to everything. Protecting your time and energy is important if you want to live a slower, more intentional life. It’s okay to say no to plans or commitments that feel overwhelming.
   
10. Create simple routines
    Having a simple daily routine can help bring more calm into your life. Small habits, like making your bed, drinking tea in the morning, or reading before bed, can create a sense of stability and slow things down.
    
11. Limit information overload
    We consume so much information every day, news, social media, messages. Try to be more intentional about what you consume. You don’t need to know everything all the time. Reducing input can help quiet your mind.
