The Books I Read in 2022

22 books for 2022! My goal was to read 10 books but I’m including all of my 4 Audiobooks to make it 22! Looks like I am going to have to keep it up and try to read 23 books for 2023! Who is with me? I have so many on my list I am still dying to read so I’m excited to try to reach that goal.

I added a little blurb with each book I read below but remember that books are SO personal. If. I didn’t love a book, that doesn’t mean that you won’t love it so give it a try! And don’t judge me for the spicy ones 🫣

Here’s to reading 23 books in 2023!

(Books listed in order of when I read them)

Clicking on any book image will take you to the book!

Also,I love reading on my Kindle Oasis so much. The Paperwhite is also a great option!

Orzo Pasta Salad Lunch Idea

I’ve been loving this easy lunch idea for my family. It all started with making these Orzo Salad Jars from Half Baked Harvest and then I just constantly kept the ingredients on our grocery list and these bowls are soo easy to whip together. I’m sorry if you’re the type that needs actual measurements but I just eyeball it all and add salt + pepper to taste! You could also easily add a olive oil + balsamic dressing. But it doesn’t necessarily need it.

It might seem silly to have an actual blog post for this because it is so easy but for the number of direct messages I get on the daily asking for what I put in my bowl, I thought it could be helpful to put it here!

Ingredients for your bowl:

  • Orzo pasta
  • Hummus
  • Red and yellow peppers
  • Feta cheese
  • Cucumber
  • Kalamata olives
  • Cucumbers
  • Arugula and/or spinach

My kids love it too! I hope you enjoy it.

Hair Help!

Hair loss seems to be a never-ending cycle with motherhood so I love trying different things to help combat it. A couple of weeks ago I asked YOU GUYS what products you use to help with hair loss and these were the most common answers!

I personally use the first 3 products listed (and this is not sponsored in any way)

  1. Divi Scalp Hair Serum – I’ve been using this for over a year now and totally feel like it has helped! They also just launched a shampoo + conditioner!
  2. A good brush – I SWEAR by this brush. It truly is my newest obsession… To the point that I just ordered two more to use as Favorite Things gifts this year!!! Use OLIVIABETH for a discount! You’ll be obsessed.
  3. New Shower Head Filter Attachment – I bought this for my shower in December and like at least knowing something is filtering my water since we don’t have a water softener in our house!
  4. J.S. Health Vitamins – J.S. reached out and I was skeptical but then after listening to this podcast episode, I now take one of these every morning after breakfast (possible discount code coming soon!) I’ll let you know if I see noticeable results in a couple more weeks.
  5. Mad Hair Co – new hair oil to try!
  6. Serene Scalp Treatment from Oribe – tons said they love this treatment!
  7. Nutrafol – I used a bottle of these! The only downfall is the taste (ohh so fishy) and the fact you have to take FOUR every time!
  8. Good hair elastics – people suggested Slip and Gimme Beauty
  9. Nioxin Shampoo & Conditioner
  10. Sea Moss
  11. Iles 3-Step Formula – shampoo & conditioner set!
  12. Vegamor Hair Serum
  13. Liquid Collagen – I used to promote Modere but wish it was better tested so I stopped. I use Clean Simple Eats (use UTAHGRUBS for a discount). Vital Proteins is also a great option it looks like.
  14. Get a blood test to see if you have an iron deficiency

Hope that helps you guys! We got this 🤝🏼
