What exactly will you find here?

- Faith conversations and personal growth thoughts

- Single life celebration (because it could be amazing!) and struggles
How did this blog start?
I'm an introvert with really loud thoughts, so I needed somewhere to share them! This started as "Lux Thinking Aloud" way before social media took over our lives.

Why don't you just pick one topic?
When blogging experts told me to pick one topic, I thought, "but that's not how life works!"
One day you might need dating advice, the next day you're looking for a good book recommendation, and the day after that you want tips for saving money.
Why should you have to visit five different blogs when one friend can help with all of it? 😉
Life is messy, fantastic, and complicated. We think about our careers, our relationships, and our favorite books all in the same day (at least I do!).
So I decided to keep it real and talk about everything that matters to actual humans living actual lives.
Surprise for Every Visit
Isn't it exciting not knowing what you'll find when you visit here? It could be relationship advice. Maybe it's the perfect book for your mood.
Life is full of surprises—so why shouldn't this lifestyle blog be too?
What about all the book content?
You got it. I've totally embraced my bookish era, and I'm here for it.
If you love books as much as I do (or want to start loving them more), this section is basically like having a book-obsessed friend who always has the perfect recommendation:
- Book reviews that tell you if it's worth your time
- Reading recommendations for every mood and reader type
- Tips for creating the perfect reading nook
- Gift ideas for the book lovers in your life
- Movie suggestions based on what you love to read
Why this approach works so well
Life is complicated, wonderful, and imperfect. That's exactly what makes life interesting.
When you come here, you're getting honest thoughts from a real person about real life - not some perfectly curated content that pretends everything fits into neat little boxes.
Plus, I've been attending webinars and doing counseling. I'd love to share what I've picked up along the way!
I'm basically that online friend who's always excited to share books, relationship tips, or life hacks that work.
After all these years, I'm grateful to everyone who has stuck around through the blog's growth and changes.
So welcome!
Grab a cup of coffee, browse around, and let's chat about life, love, and everything in between. I'm genuinely thrilled you're here!
FAQs
Is this blog really about both life AND love?
Absolutely! Because they're connected, aren't they? Your relationships affect your life goals, your personal growth impacts how you love others, and your lifestyle choices influence your dating life. It all fits together.
How often do you post new content?
Every week or so. Sometimes more than once a week (depending on my current workload). I share something new regularly because life is constantly evolving. Whether it's a book I just finished or a life lesson I learned the hard way, there's always something fresh to talk about.
Who is this blog for?
Anyone who's trying to figure out this whole adulting thing! Whether you're single, dating, married, starting your career, or just trying to find good books to read - if you're human and you're living life, this is for you.
Can you help with my specific situation?
While I can't offer personal advice, I share many real-life experiences and practical tips that may be helpful. Plus, you can always leave a comment and join the conversation - I love hearing from readers!
I'm planning to pursue my dream of studying Psychology. Pray that I have enough time to get there so I can truly be qualified to give out life tips.
For professional counseling, legal, financial, or medical guidance, please consult qualified professionals in those fields.
Do you actually read all these books you talk about?
Every. Single. One! I don't post fake reviews. I'm that person who stays up too late because "just one more chapter" and then wants to tell everyone about it. (If it were up to me, I would post all the books I read, which is waaaaay more than you'll see here.)
Consider me your enthusiastic book-loving friend, always ready with a recommendation.
