Book Review - Start Where You Are Note Cards by Meera Lee Patel

Photo Source - Amazon


Tucked away in a beautiful sturdy keepsake box houses 12 beautifully decorated cards and envelopes. Each of the twelve gorgeous  illustrated card has a different quote illustrated by the self taught Brooklyn based Meera Lee Patel. The cards are perfect for any occasion and can be used as hostess gift or kept to be shared with others.  I gave a few cards away and they were a hit and the others I am saving to be framed. My only qualm is a few cards were very simple but would be perfect for those who don't like overly intricate designs.

Book Review - Besties by Leah Reena Goren

A sweet and short illustrated book about the celebration of female friendship. The book is an endearing thank you note, gift, and a love letter to female besties. The illustrated book portrays the best parts of friendship and has a heart warming "ending". Whether its spending friday nights together, making up a secret handshake, being a +1 one at a boring party to being there at your lowest. The quirky artwork and endearing message, makes readers smile and appreciate the beauty of friendship.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I received this book but as soon as I got it, I couldn't stop smiling. The drawings were cute and some of the antics of the characters were very specific. Although, I remembering all the funny and unique things I did with my best friend(s) like eating so much candy in one sitting that we had a two hour sugar high or when we went to 4 different fast food restaurant to make the "perfect meal" and them being there through all the low times of my life as well. This is a great gift for any girl bestie in your life! I gave this book as a stocking stuffer to a few friends with a private note of all the fun memories we shared. It is a great book to make you appreciate the great friendships in your life and how easy it is to take people for granted.
