![]() ![]() I’ll definitely be reading more form this author.Ĭolor Me In is a coming of age story about a biracial teen trying to navigate her Black and Jewish heritage as well as the divorce of her parents. There was a lot going on, which could be distracting at times, and that’s really the only reason it was a 4 star for me instead of a 5. It’s got a lot of heart and I loved so much of it. Even though I couldn’t personally relate to the author’s struggles, I still felt for her and Nevaeh.Ĭolor Me In is so well written, especially for a debut novel. I found that so interesting and I could tell that this story was written with so much heart. Her heritage is the same as Nevaeh’s as were some of her life experiences. This story was in large part biographical for the author. I could listen to Bahni’s voice all day and she does an amazing job bringing her characters to life. I picked this as my book of the month pick in 2019 and never got to it (fail on my part) but when I saw there was an audiobook and that audiobook was narrated by Bahni Turpin, I knew I had to listen to it. There were also a lot of great side characters, I especially liked her Rabbi Sarah and her best friend Stevie. As much as I enjoyed Nevaeh’s story, I really loved finding out more about her mother with her journal entries. Nevaeh discovers who she is and who she wants to be, even though the path is rocky at times. This is very much a book about self discovery. She’s never felt like she fully fit in anywhere, and being with her mother’s family so much has only brought that to light more. Being biracial has been challenging to her at times. Her parents are separated, she’s spending half of her time with her white, jewish father in the house she grew up in, and the other half of the time with her black mother and extended family in Harlem where her mother grew up. Nevaeh Levitz is 15 and she’s got a lot going on in her life. It doesn’t matter if you’re family or a stranger on the subway we do it everywhere, even here, in our safe spaces, where we’re supposed to love each other up and down.”Ĭolor Me In is Natasha Diaz’s debut novel that’s a coming of age story about a half black, half jewish girl trying to find her place in the world. “We all make assumptions about each other. ![]() Will she continue to let circumstances dictate her path? Or will she find power in herself and decide once and for all who and where she is meant to be? It's only when Nevaeh stumbles upon a secret from her mom's past, finds herself falling in love, and sees firsthand the prejudice her family faces that she begins to realize she has a voice. Even with the push and pull of her two cultures, Nevaeh does what she's always done when life gets complicated: she stays silent. In the midst of attempting to blend their families, Nevaeh's dad decides that she should have a belated bat mitzvah instead of a sweet sixteen, which guarantees social humiliation at her posh private school. Nevaeh wants to get to know her extended family, but one of her cousins can't stand that Nevaeh, who inadvertently passes as white, is too privileged, pampered, and selfish to relate to the injustices they face on a daily basis as African Americans. When her Black mom and Jewish dad split up, she relocates to her mom's family home in Harlem and is forced to confront her identity for the first time. Growing up in an affluent suburb of New York City, sixteen-year-old Nevaeh Levitz never thought much about her biracial roots. Debut YA author Natasha Díaz pulls from her personal experience to inform this powerful coming-of-age novel about the meaning of friendship, the joyful beginnings of romance, and the racism and religious intolerance that can both strain a family to the breaking point and strengthen its bonds. ![]() ![]() ![]() At that point, you will need to schedule your pickup for another day.

No extra packaging, no animal testing, no parabens - only safe ingredients. And it’s good to know that all the BOOMSTICKS are made with the environmentally conscientious woman in mind. Otherwise, it seemed less useful than the others and does not seem to me to be essential. I did not see what it did that the cream did not except that it was in stick formula, which might be handy for air travel. ![]() As I said above, for me it’s fire engine red and red only!įinally, I tried BOOMSTICK GLO ($24.00). Same for the lips - it offers just a hint of sheen and color, so, for you au naturel gals, this one could work nicely. I tried it on my eyes too - a bit muted for my taste, but could be nice for some. I used it over BOOMSTICK COLOR and got a nice, shimmery effect that was perfect for evening. Again, the application was great - the stuff just glides on, no pulling or tugging at all. This is a subtle, sheer stick with a hint of color and a nice bit of sparkle to it. ![]() The second in the group is BOOMSTICK GLIMMER ($24.00). I was a little less keen about its effect on my eyelids (made me look like a victim of domestic violence, haha!) and lips (too subtle for me - I am strictly a red lip sort of gal) though I can see that it could work for others on these areas. The overall effect was great: warm, healthy and natural-looking color. As demonstrated in Cindy’s tutorial, I also used it on my forehead and neck. I tried it on my cheeks - fantastic! Blended right in, and gave me a healthy, vibrant look even without foundation. It’s based on a color that Cindy has used on photo shoots for over twenty-five years. This is a sheer, berry colored stick that is said to flatter all skin tones. Next up was the BOOMSTICK COLOR ($24.00). After I used it on my face, I tried it on my hands, elbows, legs (post-shaving!) and even feet - it was terrific for everything! This is now my new fave rave - cannot get enough of the stuff! Tuck it in your pocket for summer getaways perfect for streamlining your packing! I especially loved that a single product could do so many tasks. It might be a tad greasy for you twentysomethings, but for the rest of us, it’s a like a spa in a jar. It goes on easily, feels great and absorbs well (I was actually tempted to eat it, but that’s just me.) Girls, I am loving this! The creamy, pale gold color and faint honey smell are so appealing. ![]() And then I used it again the next day, under my sunscreen and foundation. “It’s created by beekeepers, on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, says Joseph, “Along with these magical ingredients, plenty of love and attention go into each pot for your safety and pleasure.” So, how does it stack up? I used it at night, around my eyes, as well as on my face and neck. Organic extra virgin olive oil, organic beeswax, organic propolis, organic pollen, organic honey, and Vitamin E Now that you know what BOOMSILK doesn’t contain, here’s what it does have: Joseph says that by, “eliminating unnecessary and potentially harmful ingredients, such as, emulsifiers, mineral oil, glycerine, parabens and phthalates, and sunscreens of any kind, you can be rest assured that BOOMSILKis pure, clean, safe and 100% organic.” It does not contain sunscreen (but can be used with any sunscreen you choose) and can be applied around your eyes, on your face, over your lips and down your neck. That cream, BOOMSILK ($32.00 4oz), is the line’s core product. To that end, she created her BOOMSTICK Trio: Glo, Glimmer and Color ($24.00 each $68.00 sold together), as well as a luxurious cream.

When I water the plants I spray the plant itself and fill the pole up with water so the holes in the pipe get the thick burlap wet on the inside. It has leaves coming up all over as well as aerial roots that I guide towards the pole. One root has completely wrapped around the burlap and buried itself into it. I keep it in my greenhouse with the door open and it has so many root. Today my vanilla bean is doing amazing! I honestly didn't expect it to do this well.
