My Summer Reading Recs & TBR โ๏ธ๐๐
|
Hi Reader, These warm summer months always tend to have me gravitate towards specific types of books. Ones that tend to be either shorter, faster-paced, or that completely transport me to an ideal summer setting (like a vacation with friends or renting a cabin by a lake to read and swim).

With Love, Remi What I'm Currently Reading

This summer has been busy! Both personally and on the backend business side of things. But today, I decided to pick up the camera...
Hi Reader, This week I shared something a little different: a vlog of what my life actually looks like at home in California โ not a Japan trip, not a travel guide, just real life between adventures. Watch the California vlog here If youโve been wondering where the Japan travel guides from my spring trip are, donโt worry โ theyโre coming, just taking a bit longer than expected. Look for those at the end of July/August. In the meantime, I wanted to show more of the in-between: what Iโm up to,...
Hey Reader, New video is up, and it's a little different than usual. For most of you, this channel = Japan. But today I'm sharing what life actually looks like back home in California when I'm not traveling: a road trip, a nail appointment, a block party in LA, and a few thoughts on what's coming next for this channel. Watch it here If you've been waiting on the Japan travel guides from my spring trip, don't worry โ they're still coming (end of July/August). In the meantime, this is the start...
