My week on Instagram
Evil bears are allowed to read Harry Potter too!
I’ve never had anyone spell my name as ‘Ashlie’ before! It looks kind of cute.
Ever since experiencing their shampoo in Florence, Coding God and I have become obsessed with Penhaligon’s! We went to their store last weekend to buy some body wash and got a super cute, small fragrance sample bottle. Of course I went all ‘Alice in Wonderland’ on it and had a photo shoot.

Feeling bleh
Ugh I haven’t been feeling well all week! It’s horrible! The doctor suspects I have some kind of gnarly virus but I got some blood tests done just in case. It sucks though. I have SO much work to do and I can feel myself falling behind because I spend so much time in bed resting. I’m also annoyed because this virus has completed halted my Couch to 5K progress… and I was doing so well. π
Ooh I’ve never been to Penhaligon’s but I’ve heard of it. That bottle looks amazing! Hope you feel better soon!
Thank you!!
Oh feel better soon!
and .. I’m so going to check out Penhaligonβs – never heard of it before, but I love these kind of things so I definitely check it out. LOVe the Drink me Bottle π so cute!
I know, the bottle is adorable! And all of their products smell really good. What’s annoying though is that we got their shampoo and conditioner from a hotel and we LOVE it… but apparently they don’t sell those products. They ONLY sell shampoo and conditioner to hotels—not to consumers. To everyone else they only sell fragrances and body wash.
I got all of those books except for Little Peach. π Hope you feel better soon though!
Thanks, I hope so too!
So far I’m loving these Harper books.
So sorry to hear that you got worse. Being sick sucks!!!!
We got some of the same books. Edelweiss had some great ones this week.
I’ve mostly been the same (so just not getting better), but yeah it sucks. I hate how far behind I’m getting >_<
Hope you feel better soon! I got Red Queen this week too! π
I already finished it and loved it! I hope you like it too!
My daughter and husband are both fighting some sort of bug right now too-the only symptoms is extreme tiredness, crankiness and ‘I don’t feel good’ :p
Hope you get better soon!
Yeah that’s a lot of what I have. Extreme tiredness, dizziness, and every now and then I get some nausea. It’s not fun! I hope your daughter and husband get better soon!!
Great titles. I wanted to request Liars Inc, but my TBR is huge. Love the new theme, specially the buttons.
Get well soon
It was like Christmas in July on Edelweiss, wasn’t it? I’m especially excited for the new Cynthia Hand.
Hope you feel better soon!
Boo! Feel better! I hate being sick, but it’s even worse when you know you have a lot to do and you just feel the work mounting. I’m still so jealous you got Red Queen, I’m stalking Edelweiss for it to show back up!
Hope everyone who stops by is visiting the Kickstarter for LItRate. I am so excited to think we will be able to get a better version of a “Goodreads-like” book community. Please all, just throw in a dollar or ten to make it happen. Buy one less book, get it at a library or borrow it and donate that money..easy-peasy!
Thank you Rita!! Your support means a lot. π
Wow, I just realized that all this time I somehow haven’t been following you on instagram! HOW?! Correcting that asap. π
Haha well if it makes you feel better, I only started using my Instagram account in the last few weeks. π
Feel better soon, Ashley! I can’t believe you already have all those fantastic books. Have you read any of those already? I am super excited for THE LAST TIME WE SAY GOODBYE and RED QUEEN. I love it that your bear loves Harry Potter too. I think he’s going to be in Slytherin if ever he gets sorted. I also had my name spelled as Saraj once. Needless to say, I wasn’t amused.
I really really hope everything works well with LitRate. I have a feeling it’s going to be the next big thing. I would love to donate and would surely look for a way to do so (I don’t have a credit card and I’ve been banned from my parents’ xD), but I’ll surely spread the word.
I’ve actually read three of them so far (Red Queen, A Wicked Thing, and Liars Inc.) and loved them all! Now I’m starting Everything That Makes You. Harper is off to a good start with their 2015 books!
Thank you for your LitRate support! Anything you can do to spread the word will be a tremendous help. π
I love that you Alice-ed up the bottle. It looks stunning! I’m really looking forward to Liars Inc and A Wicked Thing
I hope you feel better soon! Awesome books and I can’t wait for LitRate π
It WAS like Edelweiss Christmas this week! I picked up all of them! I think I’m most excited for RED QUEEN and THE LAST TIME WE SAY GOODBYE. But it’ll be awhile before I get to them — I’ve got other reviews scheduled. Glad to hear you loved THE RED QUEEN, though! It sounds like everything I love and I was hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed — if you like it, odds are I will, too!
Feel better!
aaah yes! such a good Edelweiss week! I hadn’t heard of Little Peach before but now I’m very excited about it.
