Monday Musings: Sweet Nothings For The Week
A Little Bit of This…A Little Bit of That
Thought I would try out a little post on Mondays to give you a little pep for the week ahead! Here’s what I’m currently crushing on…
Quote: “Cut me, and I bleed Dior” - American Horror Story: Hotel

The Woman King (rent or purchase on Apple TV+ or Prime Video),
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow By Gabrielle Zevin
Almost finished with this novel (just shy of 50 pages left) and I will say it’s got a hold on me. Love and friendship in the universe of game developers, never thought this would catch my attention or be my vibe, but the characters are relatable, beautifully written, and other than the inaccuracies of Los Angeles in the 90s, it’s a near perfect book IMO.
Rombauer Zinfandel
Nothing a like a friendly bottle of Rombauer. So drinkable, so many layers of notes that it’s like a symphony on your palate. Intoxicating aromas of bright fruits like red plum and cherries, vanilla and those nostalgic holiday spices. A bit of vanilla, chocolate and oak on the tongue. Sip this for a relaxing night (shouldn’t that be every night?).
Anya Mmiri by Ckay (feat. Pink Panteress) from Wakanda Forever Soundtrack
There’s some really good tracks on this album. I finally got a chance to see Wakanda Forever this weekend on Disney+ (more of my review when I do my Oscar post), but I loved this track “Anya Mmiri” among others that really plays surprisingly well into the film. I know everyone’s all about RiRi, but I’m kinda loving some of these lesser-played tracks.
