What to read: The Woman In Me by Britney Spears
Britney Spears’ much anticipated memoir The Woman In Me is officially out. We’ve all seen the news over the past few years and heard Britney speaking her truth in court in 2021. This book shines a light on Britney’s journey of music and love and telling her own story, in her own words. My friend and I also went to see Britney’s movie Crossroads(from the early 2000’s) in cinemas, it was a worldwide fan event in celebration of the book’s release. The Woman In Me is available now.

What to eat/drink: Put some punch into your Summer
After seeing some fun TikTok videos of the challenge where each friend makes a different fun drink and they judge who is the best – I thought this cute drink recipe looked like a good time! If you want an idea for yours or just something nice to cool you down this Summer season, the Strawberry ice punch could be for you (this recipe is alcohol-free but everything is adaptable!)
