Hello dear audience. As most of you know, 2021 was my year to start reading again. It has been a fantastic journey that has opened doors to so many different worlds. So far, I’ve read 48 books. My original goal was 20, which I clearly blew out of the water. I’m hoping to get inContinue reading “The Best Books I Read in 2021”

Cooking: Persiana
This was my first cookbook in my “use only one cookbook per week” adventure. I had already made one of the recipes (the soup) and had been craving it for a few days. Plus, it had just started to be soup season. This was before I decided I wanted to blog what I was cookingContinue reading “Cooking: Persiana”
My Cookbook Addiction
I have always loved cooking. It is something that calms my mind, especially after a long day. My dad was always in the kitchen, whipping up a storm and I was his sous chef. He is the type of person who can look at the fridge and/or pantry and make something from there. Me? NotContinue reading “My Cookbook Addiction”
Happy Birthday to Me
Look out world, I have just entered my mid-30s. I have no qualms over getting older. My aunt told everyone she was 26 my entire life. It took me a few years before I realized that she can’t turn 26 every year. In fact, I only found out her real age when she died andContinue reading “Happy Birthday to Me”
My Reading Journey and Why Book Bullies Are the Worst.
This is my perfect rainy day: Me, on the couch, curled into a burrito blanket. A lamp, providing the perfect amount of light in the dim, sunless day. A cup of tea, freshly brewed next to me. The sound of the rain on the roof and windows. Incense burning, creating an intoxicating and welcoming smellContinue reading “My Reading Journey and Why Book Bullies Are the Worst.”
Hello, you.
Hi. It’s been awhile. This is kind of awkward, isn’t it? I just come back to you, like it hasn’t been almost a year of radio silence. As if I didn’t give up on you for a long time. Let’s be honest, I gave up on myself. Like most adults, I’m very burnt out. I’veContinue reading “Hello, you.”
Friday Favorites: Shows I’ve Already Binged in 2021
2021 is only 2 months deep and I can already claim 4 television shows that I’ve binged. When you can’t really go anywhere or hang out with anyone, what else are you going to do? Thankfully, 2 of these shows only have 1 season so far (both picked up for season) that’s fully out. OneContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Shows I’ve Already Binged in 2021”
Friday Favorite(s): Promising Young Woman
Listen. I was going to give you a Friday Favorites list, I really was. I kept trying to figure out how to make a list surrounding the movie Promising Young Woman. Maybe I’ll talk about the best films of 2020. Or perhaps I’ll tell you my top 5 movies from the past 5 years. OrContinue reading “Friday Favorite(s): Promising Young Woman”
Who Gatekeeps the Gatekeepers?
Do you remember that feeling when you discover something for the very first time? That beginning period where everything is just incredibly magical and you can’t believe you’ve lived your life without this thing for all these years… It really isn’t something you can describe, it’s just a feeling. Remember when you told someone aboutContinue reading “Who Gatekeeps the Gatekeepers?”

I know that the following information will be a complete and utter shock to you. You’ll wonder, “Do I even know Lauren? Who is this person? How did I not know this about her?” I assure you that it’s a frequent conversation that I have with myself. I love reading. I know. Crazy world we’reContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Book Biographies”
