Hi! I’m NAD, a librarian by day, a curious explorer by night, and a lifelong lover of stories in all forms. Whether it’s flipping through pages of a good book, exploring local eats, finding skincare gems, or wandering through new places, I’m always chasing moments that spark joy and curiosity.

Working with books has been more than just a job; it’s a lifelong passion. I’ve spent over a decade surrounded by stories, helping others discover the magic within pages, especially through my specialty: picture books. There’s something powerful and beautiful about how words and visuals can come together to inspire both children and adults alike.

This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share my love for reading alongside my favorite skincare finds, food adventures, and recipes worth keeping. Whether you're a fellow book lover, a skincare enthusiast, or just looking for something comforting to cook, I hope you find something helpful, inspiring, or simply enjoyable here.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you leave here feeling inspired, hungry (in the best way), and maybe with a new book or two on your list.
