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 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?”
Friday Musings.
Some weeks, I just cannot write a Friday Favorites list. I know, I know, I haven’t had that may Fridays to do this so I must have a billion ideas. And I do, believe me. I spent 3 days this week going through my list of Friday Favorites lists and I don’t like any ofContinue reading “Friday Musings.”
New Years Resolutions: how I took my beauty and cleaning routine cruelty free
Update: 01/20/2021 – this post has been updated due to a very informative comment. A company can claim that they are cruelty free and still sell in China… Because they pay for 3rd party animal testing. See more info here. This is incredibly sad to find out, as many of the brands I loved forContinue reading “New Years Resolutions: how I took my beauty and cleaning routine cruelty free”
New Years Resolutions: how I reduced my plastic buying habits
Like every female in the world, I’ve wasted most of my New Years Resolutions on losing weight. Every single year, January 1st would sneak up on me and I’d say, “Okay, this year, I will finally lose weight/eat healthier/workout more”. Most years, I failed miserably (the miserable part would be the multiple restrictive diets). ThereContinue reading “New Years Resolutions: how I reduced my plastic buying habits”
Goodbye 2020.
2020. I’ve spent a lot of this year wondering what the history books are going to say about this particular year. Can you imagine your kids coming home from school with a project requiring them to ask their parents about 2020? I can imagine a parent, screaming and dropping that nights dinner on the floor,Continue reading “Goodbye 2020.”
Friday Favorites: Happy Winter Solstice!
Out with the Fall, in with the… Winter? Listen, it’s been a really long month. This entire week was met with, “It’s still Monday?” “It’s ONLY Tuesday?” “How is it only Wednesday?” “IT’S STILL THURSDAY?!” so I know that I will welcome Friday with open arms. My mom actually reminded me that it’s the WinterContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Happy Winter Solstice!”
Your Annual Reminder That “Baby It’s Cold Outside” Isn’t About What You’ve Been Told It’s About
Every single year, I have to defend this song because it takes constant heat. This year, I decided to publicly defend it because I’m so tired of cancel culture and it’s really not what you’ve been told it’s about. “Baby It’s Cold Outside” is, was, and probably always will be my favorite Christmas song andContinue reading “Your Annual Reminder That “Baby It’s Cold Outside” Isn’t About What You’ve Been Told It’s About”
