Five for Friday

Hello and welcome to my Five for Friday! I am linking up with Cup of Tea Bright on a BudgetDella Devoted, and BYBMG!

1. On Monday I got my hair cut. I don't know why I always put off doing that but it really needed to get done. My hair had just gotten so long and the ends were looking bad, so it was definitely time! I got about 4 inches cut off and I am really liking the length now! 

2. Last week I joined a book launch team which is where I help to promote a book once it is released by posting reviews in different places. I had to create an account through NetGalley which is a site where you can pick books to review before they are released to help promote the books. I've already been approved for two book! They're a little pickier than other sites I've used about who exactly gets to review books, but it's kind of fun to be able to do! I love to read so getting free books is always a great thing!

And I also added a Book Reviews tab on the sidebar if anyone is interested!

3. My mom got a new sewing machine a couple of weeks ago and has been doing a few projects. She made a couple of cosmetic bags and she just made this one for me! We went shopping and I picked out this cute fabric. I really like how the bag turned out!
4. I've been reading through the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban illustrated edition and I am so enjoying the illustrations! If you are a Harry Potter fan and have not looked into the illustrated versions, you are so missing out! I mean, just look at the artwork! It's so beautiful! I have the first two books as well and while the Prisoner of Azkaban isn't my favorite art-wise, it's still well done. And the illustrated versions are the British versions of the books, so it's a bit different (in a good way!) than the American English ones.
5. In case you missed it, I shared a review of my December Ipsy glam bag as well as a book review!
Hope you have a great weekend!
