While you can still channel the inner kid in you and get your chocolate advent calendar, you should also treat yourself to a different kind of advent for those 24 days prior to Christmas. In the past couple of years a lot of beauty advents have popped up in stores from some well known brands. Last year I purchased...

HELLO! I've been absent as of late as I have been super busy and I should've pre written blog posts but did I do that? No... My bad! November was a good reading month with a total of six (6) books read. Four of these books I rated 5/5! I collected quite a few books this month: Red Queen, Snow Like Ashes & Simon vs...

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well. I've been wanting to post more regularly on here and I think I've always felt that it had to be a more 'filled' post however, I've realised that's not the case. I actually like short posts here and there.  So I thought I'd bring to you today my November TBR (To Be Read). Last...

Good morning, afternoon and evening to wherever you may be in the world. Another month over brings a new blog post dedicated to the books I have read this month and boy, was I productive. I read a total of eight books this month (which is really good for me!) I've got into my head the saying "So many books, so little...

Hey guys, This is a quick update to let you know you can follow me on Bloglovin! If you're unsure what Bloglovin is, basically it's a website and a convenient app where you can sign up in seconds and follow all the blogs you read in one place. It doesn't matter what domain it's from. You simply have to search for the...

Welcome back! So I've had my Bookstagram (@erenareads) for just over a month now and am loving the community and the urge to read so much more. I hardly buy books anymore but I've gone and purchased four books from the same author (Sarah J Maas) and have recently started Throne of Glass and loving it already. I'm a...

Welcome back to another edition of 'Erena Reviews'! This month started off slow; the first book I read just wasn't screaming "Keep on reading!!" but I got there in the end and managed to finish two books in the last couple of days of August. BOOKS 1. The Sky is Everywhere - Jandy Nelson I saw this book recommended quite...

Hello everyone. Some of you may have noticed (or not) that I have changed this segment title to 'Erena Reviews'. I decided I wanted to include all the books I read in the month and give them a 'out of 5' rating. I'm sure none of you will mind, because why would you? I'll also include a TV show in this post, so stay...

Since my last 'Erena Recommends' post - also the first - I have aimed to read a little more to fuel these posts. In the past month I've read a lot of Colleen Hoover, once you start it is kind of hard to stop. Though, one of her books I deemed a waste of time (sorry CoHo!) BOOKS 1. Slammed Trilogy - Colleen Hoover I read...

The past few months I've found zero motivation to post anything. After my holiday, I simply forgot. When I remembered, I just couldn't be bothered. The past couple of days however, I've felt a bit better about it. I enjoy reading. I enjoy watching television shows. So I thought I would compile a short list of what I've...

So I'm going to Phuket, Thailand tomorrow!! I was going to do a travel organisation essentials post (think everything your items go in - checked baggage, onboard luggage, travel cases, etc) but then I realised a lot of my items are new and I've never used them before. Perhaps when I come back I will do one, I really want...

Here for you today are my last Goodness Me box deliveries. I have combined them as I received my January box very late into the month, a week later came the February box. Both months boxes were definitely better than the previous two - in my opinion. I have tried various items in both boxes and will let you know what...

Hello everyone, today I am here writing to you on my iPad! I had been thinking about getting one for a while now and decided to 'just do it' about a week ago. It's just the regular iPad mini but after using it I wish I had got the iPad 2 mini. Mainly because I have an iPhone 6 and it's brilliant and the the regular iPad...
