Five on Friday

ONE

Bathing suit winners

I wanted to fill you guys in on the bathing suits I kept out of the 6 I bought.

I ended up keeping 3! 

One from Target and the Athleta and Summersalt ones.

Now my challenge is I think I want one more 'cheap' one to wear when we go on river adventures, ha.

I don't buy any bathing suits for 3 years and then buy 100 in 1 summer.

*And I can't believe I'm sharing these online ha*

TWO

EradiKate

I finally found an acne medicine that seems to truly be helping!

I had to switch back to my super unclean face wash because I have been breaking out so bad and my clean BeautyCounter face soap wasn't cutting it.

Things got so bad I was desperate, and a friend showed me EradiKate.

I've used it a handful of times and LOVE it. 

I have no idea if it is clean or not, but I seriously had 3 pimples in a row for over a MONTH and after using this for 3 days, they were GONE.

THREE

Trent's bookshelf

I finally found a bookshelf for Trent! I ordered the piping off Amazon,

and I can get the wood from Home Depot.

This picture isn't exactly like his - the pipes are black,

and we'll have 4 columns of pipes due to where the studs are in his walls.

I'm excited to build it {hopefully this weekend} and get his books off the floor!

FOUR

Black Pearl Bookstore

Y'all know I love to read but mostly read through the library.

I've started buying books occasionally and usually buy from a local indie bookstore.

Well, I found a local, independent, female, Black-owned business and wanted to share!

If you want to support more Black-owned business, check out Black Pearl!

FIVE

Blackout book challenge

I wanted to encourage everyone to participate in this.

I bought 2 books {from Black Pearl Bookstore!} - one for me and one for Trent.
