If you follow my Instagram, then you may recall that last month I attended the Shape Meet & Tweet event in Santa Monica. It was held at the beautiful Annenberg Community Beach House!

One of the great things about reading a good book, especially with memoirs is that it transports you back in time & gives you the  ability to experience what life was like for the author during that time period of the book. There are three memoirs that I've enjoyed recently & I think perhaps you will too! While it's no secret that I enjoy watching TV, my first love as a child was reading books & getting immersed in a world that was … [Read more...]
