Deep dives
Favorite Discovery: Stephen King
One of the favorite discoveries of 2023 for the speaker was reading Stephen King's books. Despite having preconceived notions that his books were only scary, the speaker found that King's writing was deep, layered, thoughtful, and even funny. This new love for Stephen King's work made him one of the speaker's top three authors ever.
Favorite Discovery: Naturium Skincare
The speaker's second favorite discovery of 2023 was the skincare brand Naturium. With super affordable prices and high-quality products, the speaker particularly loved Naturium's BHA toner and retinol dehyde serum. Compared to other premium skincare brands, Naturium's products were more reasonably priced and equally effective.
Favorite Discovery: Pickled Red Cabbage
One of the speaker's favorite discoveries of the year was pickled red cabbage. They loved adding it to rice bowls, tacos, and barbecue chicken wraps. Its tangy flavor and versatility made it a staple in the speaker's diet and a food they could not get enough of in 2023.
Yearly recaps are the most fun, aren’t they? I love seeing people’s reading lists and favorite things and all of the end of year reflections that happen. I hope you’re taking some time to make some kind of list of your own.
