This week’s book choice is The Last Mrs. Parrish. This national best seller is also a Reece Witherspoon pick. You are going to LOVE it and not be able to put it down. TRUST ME!!! Here is the story:
Amber Patterson is fed up. She’s tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more – a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted.
To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne – a socialite and philanthropist – and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale.
Amber’s envy could eat her alive…if she didn’t have a plan. Amber uses Daphne’s compassion and caring to insinuate herself into the family’s life – the first step in a meticulous scheme to undermine her. Before long Amber is Daphne’s closest confidante, traveling to Europe with the Parrishes and their lovely young daughters and growing closer to Jackson. But a skeleton from her past may undermine everything that Amber has worked toward, and if it is discovered, her well-laid plan may fall to pieces.
With shocking turns and dark secrets that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Last Mrs. Parrish is a fresh, juicy, and utterly addictive thriller from a diabolically imaginative talent.

Birthday parties are such a lot of fun as a child, mainly because we don’t have to plan it for ourselves. As we grow into functional adults, some of us are lucky to have friends that love to plan our birthday surprise or party. However, for most of us, it is common to not want to celebrate because we’re feeling too lazy or overwhelmed by the notion of planning parties. There also comes the subject of splurging an unruly amount of money that many can’t afford today. These things can make your birthday a glum experience, which none of us desire. Instead, why not take up your limited budget and planning in the right direction and plan a great day?
- The traditional dinner with loved ones: Whether or not you love parties, nothing can beat spending time with the people you love most. It could be your family, friends, or even colleagues. Plan a traditional birthday dinner with a few choice dishes, a delicious birthday cake, and some drinks. If you need help making the evening a bit more fun, look up indoor games that you could play with your best pals to keep the night young.
- Gaming parties: Do you love to play arcade games? If the answer was a resounding yes, your perfect birthday party idea lies in gaming! Book one of these amazing adult birthday party places where you could go bowling, play pool, and many other games. Since these arcades have decent group packages, it shouldn’t be highly expensive to take your best friends along.
- Plan a getaway: Sometimes, people like to enjoy their space on their birthdays. If this is you, you could plan an impromptu getaway for yourself. Yes, this aspect of solo traveling may take some planning, but it will pay off! Whether you love the mountains or want to visit tropical beaches, make sure your pick and choose a location that brings you joy. Once you’re done with the bookings, get packed to embark on a great adventure. If you love to drive, a short road trip over the weekend would also be a great way to welcome another year.
- Karaoke evenings: Your love for music can also be converted into a birthday party idea. There are several karaoke pubs all over town that you could visit to serenade the night away. Mixed with great company and fun drinks, we assure you only amazing times lie ahead!
- Hit the club: Lastly, if you’re the adult that loves to dance the night away celebrating yet another year of greatness, make a plan to go club-hopping with your friends. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you also get to enjoy great music by some of the master DJs of the industry.
Wrapping Up:
Growing up doesn’t mean that you stop celebrating the day of your first breath on this planet. According to us, that’s all the more reason to celebrate. Life is short, so we better make the most of it!
This week I ran into two cute girls on Spring Break reading this week’s book choice on the beach, The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I remembered how much I loved this book and I thought it was a great quick read for those who are traveling or even just looking for a new option or even a re-read to start at night at home.
From the author of Daisy Jones & The Six—an entrancing novel “that speaks to the Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in us all” (Kirkus Reviews), in which a legendary film actress reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine. – Amazon.com

There are many brilliant ideas to try out when it comes to having fun on land. You can decide to visit a favorite restaurant with a loved one, watch an exciting movie at a cinema, go hiking in the glamorous Runyon Canyon, Los Angeles…the list is endless!
However, when it comes to enjoying oneself on the water, one might have to brainstorm really hard to come up with a unique and super-exciting idea. You don’t have to go through such difficulty.. There are a lot of water sports and activities to try out when looking to experience those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Lucky for you, we have compiled a list of these activities below.
1. Flyboard Flying
If you are a superman enthusiast, the chances are that you have—probably once or twice—imagined yourself, high-up, in the sky, staring down at the ground like the revered Clark Kent. While a flyboard cannot bring such a bizarre dream to pass, it can at least make you enjoy the feeling of being a floating human for some time. Regardless, there are a lot of thrills and spills packed in this fantastic water activity.
2. Kayaking
Another fun water activity to try out is kayaking. In the United States, there were around 18.12 million participants in kayaking, an increase of 16.62 million in 2021. If you’ve had your reservations about kayaking, such statistics are a clear indication of why you need to rent a kayak (or buy one) and head out to the water to enjoy the picturesque view.
3. Sightseeing
Wouldn’t you love to have a close-up view of some aquatic creatures or sea features? Rather than spend all of your precious time engaging in an onshore activity, why not take the fun offshore? One of the best ways to do that is by buying an LA whale watching ticket for yourself and perhaps family members. If you would love to see what a whale actually looks like in real life, this is an excellent chance for you.
4. Cliff-Diving
There is something remarkable about diving off one of Mother Nature’s magnificent creations. Cliff diving is a fun activity for those with a penchant for adventure. For a brief moment, you feel like you’ve cheated gravity, then shortly, you find yourself plunging into the water like a fighter jet on a solo airshow display. It’s a thrilling activity everyone should try out just for the experience.
5. Jet Skiing
Have you always been wishing to try out some insanely fast and furious high-speed stunts? Rather than try it on land and get caught for overspeeding, you can get on a jet ski and put those driving skills of yours to the test.
Unlike the land, where you have many restrictions, the sea offers you a wide array of space to perform whatever stunt you have in mind. You can decide to travel at some heart-stopping speeds, perform droughts, go in circles, or even jump awake. The feeling of wafting through the waves as guts of cool wind soothes your skin makes this a must-try water sport.
Conclusion
Aside from the usual activities individuals engage in while on the water, there are many other unique fun activities to try out. These activities are designed to leave a lasting impression on your memories and offer you the fun that you’ve never dreamt of. Ensure you go for something that suits your taste and always exercise caution when engaging in these sports.
