Thought I'd try the hot chocolate bar that came with my @thealignist subscription box before the weather gets too hot. I'm proud to be repping this box because though it deals with serious issues and supports local artisans, it's also a lot of fun. I'm having a great time setting up these shots- playing with temporary tattoos and drinking hot chocolate like a ten year old 😎. I'm not so great at managing my time and I was running late by by the time I finished taking this photo. So now "Why are you wearing fake tattoos to parent teacher interviews?" is something that has actually been said to me. 😏 ~ (Pictured here are some of the things included in Mexico box: the novel Prayers for the Stolen, a bar of Mexican chocolate, and temporary tattoos by an artist based in Mexico City.

"When a Negro boy is shot and killed by policemen who do not check the situation before pulling their guns, the people get angry. It is a simple law of nature. ... The people get tired of dying," one of Dumas' characters said in a short story he wrote called "Riot or Revolt."

I tried out one of the recipies by @la_palapa that were included in @thealigist MEXICO subscription box and it was delicious. Which is saying a lot because I usually have no idea how to cook fish. ~ (Check out my posts below or the alignist.com if you want to know more about the box and use the code EATING15 for 15% off) . . . . . #bookstagram #prayersforthestolen #jenniferclement #subscriptionbox #thewholestory #bookstagram #boxsubscription #thealignist #bibliophile #igreads #bookworm #fairtrade #organicoregano #adoboalatalla

"Ruth painted our nails and fed us potato chips right into our mouths so that the nail polish could dry without being smudged. She had trimmed my hair many times, but it was the first time I'd ever had my nails painted. It was the first act in my life that defined me as a girl." ~ So I ended up reading this whole book in a day. It's heartbreaking. The protagonist grows up in a world where girls have to be made ugly, or transformed into boys to be kept safe from human trafficking, among other horrific things they must deal with in a daily basis. I often find myself reading fiction and wondering how much of it is actually based on fact. Prayers for the Stolen is the novel included in the Mexico @thealignist subscription box. The accompanying 'road map' provides statistics and information at certain parts of the novel, to help you relate the story to the reality faced by many. I found this way of reading to greatly enriched my experience with the story and increased my awareness of many issues that I previously just had a vague idea of. ~ (If you're interested in what else is included in the box check out my post below or the alignist.com and use the code EATING15 for 15% off.) . . . . . #bookstagram #prayersforthestolen #jenniferclement #subscriptionbox #thewholestory #bookstagram #boxsubscription #thealignist #bibliophile #igreads #bookworm #bookstagramfeature #fairtrade #potatochips
