Roundup of My Most Recent Audiobook Reads + Reviews

August 1, 2016 Lifestyle

Ever since I started listening to audio books, I just can’t “put them down”.  I started listening to audio books when my commute to work became a little longer.  They help me mentally prepare for work on my way in, and decompress on my way home.  I also think they are also great for getting ready in the morning, or cleaning the house.  The majority of my books have been self-help books, but sometimes like to listen to some non-fiction books.  Below is a list of some of my most recent books and my thoughts.  Get 2 free audio books from Audible here—Try Audible and Get Two Free Audiobooks

Rich Bitch: A Simple 12-Step Plan for Getting Your Financial Life Together… Finally

– This was my first audio book and I love Nicole Lapin’s outlook on taking control of your life and your money.  I think this book is best for the young professional, as it goes over a lot of tips and tricks for those who are getting ready to buy a car, or buy a house, which I had already done.  It definitely didn’t hurt listening to her advice though. My favorite part of the book, and one that I will always remember is in the part of the book when she talks about saving money, and that you should NEVER skip your daily coffee run.  Her reasoning is the best!  You’ll have to read it (or listen to it) to know what I’m talking about. 😉

“The sooner you can speak the language of money, the sooner you can live the life you want. Lapin guides you step by step, first showing you how to make a list of goals, then devising a plan to make sure you achieve them – debt free, worry free, and in control. It’s time to stop fearing finances and let Rich Bitch help you face the facts. You’re not alone in this anymore!”

You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life

This book just gave me life! I loved every minute of it and she is so relate-able!  This is a self-help book written by life coach, Jen Sincero.  Jen tells it how it is and what to do to be a “badass” and live your life.  She touches on everything from relationships to careers to just down right getting what you want in life.  This book is so easy to listen to and I’m sure is so easy to read.  She keeps you wanting more with every chapter.

The Sweet Life: Find Passion, Embrace Fear, and Create Success on Your Own Terms

After recently starting my own YouTube Channel, I came across Dulce Candy Ruiz’s YouTube Channel and fell in LOVE with her! She is so down to earth and has such a large following on YouTube.  She tells her life story in this book and I seriously COULD NOT STOP listening to this book.  I finished it in one day!  She tells the story about crossing the border into the United States and how she was in the military, and then ended up as a famous YouTube beauty guru.  If you haven’t listened to this book, or read this book, definitely do it!

The Secret

I have heard about the book and the movie, The Secret for many years and have never read the book or watched the movie, so I figured I better figure out what all the fuss is about.  This book basically teaches you that what you think about, you bring about, and discusses the law of attraction.  If you think negative thoughts, more negative thoughts will attract to you.  After listening to it, I can’t help but think about how many times I have had a bad morning, and all I could think about was bad thoughts, and then more bad things happened throughout my day.  If only I just had the mindset to think positively, my day would’ve improved.

I am currently listening to this, and am almost done, but can say that it is a great book and I highly recommend reading it.

There’s nothing better than waking up to a beaut There’s nothing better than waking up to a beautiful sunny day in spring, especially when the flowers are in full bloom! We showered my dear friend with gifts yesterday for her sweet baby boy on the way! 👶🏼 I wore this super comfy bump-friendly t-shirt dress & have a feeling I’ll be living in dresses all summer...but I’m okay with that! 😉 

Today is gender reveal day! Eek!!! I won’t be announcing on here until tomorrow evening probably, but stay tuned! ☺️🙌🏻Can’t wait to share! Sadly we didn’t find anywhere with magnolias in the background for the reveal, but I did manage to find this one in a local neighbors yard! 😆 Hope they didn’t mind me snapping a quick pic! 🤷🏼‍♀️😉

Currently wishing I was on a beach enjoying some s Currently wishing I was on a beach enjoying some sunshine, but instead I’m cuddled up on the couch in multiple layers... freezing per usual 🥶🤦🏼‍♀️ 

Anyone else in need of some warmer weather and maybe some beach time?! The cold gloomy weather {along with being pregnant} has me in an unproductive mood midweek! 🤦🏼‍♀️ 

I was in Seaside just over a year ago for the first time and it was magical! Thinking Conor and I need a quick getaway before baby arrives?! 🤔😉 @conor_corbett20 whatcha think?! 😜 We just booked a quick getaway next month, & it’s not quite seaside, but you’ll have to wait to see!..😉 

This floral wrap dress is perfect for spring and summer & is still available! Pretty sure I’ll be living in dresses this year since they will be the most comfortable for the bump!🤰🏼
