This December has been a very weird one. Honestly, looking back, this entire year was weird. I was talking to one of my best friends recently and we both agreed that 2021 was A LOT harder than 2020 to deal with. I know a lot of people who found 2020 to be very hard, but for us, this year was the difficult one. So truthfully, I’m glad it’s almost over.…

things i’m loving ✩ 27 | november 2021
Read moreHello lovelies. November was a tough one if I can be totally honest. This month kicked my ass in more ways than one. I ended up consuming A LOT of media in the process of coming to terms with a lot of truths and trying to heal. It’s still rough. My heart is still patchy in places, but thank god for art because I truly use it as a respite…

things i’m loving ✩ 26 | october 2021
Read moreHello lovelies. I feel like this might be an unpopular opinion, but it feels like October went by rather slowly. I don’t know, I guess I expect time to speed up now that there’s literally only two months left in the year. Two months. I guess a part of me wants it to be 2022 already, I suppose to leave these last two years behind. Not that we know if…

my top 10 favorite movies to watch in october
Read moreI just want to start off by saying that I am not a Halloween person, but if I were any type of holiday-celebrating person, I would be a Halloween person. It is the one and only holiday I think is really cool. So, I have this thing every October, where I go through a list of relatively kid-friendly “Halloween” movies and try to watch them all. I absolutely hate scary…

things i’m loving ✩ 25 | september 2021
Read moreI feel like September took its sweet time to go by—is that weird? It just seemed to go by really slow compared to previous months. And to be honest, I’m quite sad it’s over. Like technically, September marks the end of summer and I love summer. I’m honestly not looking forward to the colder, winter months at all, so…yeah. Anyway, here are a few things I enjoyed this month: WATCHING…

things i’m loving ✩ 24 | august 2021
Read moreOh, August. For the past two years, you’ve been a very difficult month for me. And I always want to enjoy you, but I haven’t had the chance to since this whole pandemic started. It’s bad enough to have that daily stress, but this month was emotionally taxing for me too for reasons other than the pandemic. I had to adjust to new things—new feelings—and well, it just felt better…

hope & uncertainty / a mixtape
Read moreHey Lovelies. I just wanted to pop on and share a little playlist of songs I made that I’ve been listening to lately. I’ve been stuck in what Liz Lamoreux refers to as “the and space”—in a place of both hope and uncertainty. The idea of “the and space” is that we as humans can be both light and dark, sad and happy, hopeful yet uncertain. It is that place…

things i’m loving ✩ 23 | july 2021
Read moreJuly seems like it passed by in a total blur if I’m to be honest. Like, I feel like I haven’t been homes in days—that sort of blur. My temp job ended this week (sort of) and I just feel a lot lighter. I did agree to stay on for two more week at a part-time schedule to help train others in what I do there because we had some…

things i’m loving ✩ 22 | june 2021
Read moreSo, I’ve been terribly busy lately, which is why this is coming to you so incredibly late. But I didn’t want to skip out on sharing my favorites for June. I definitely have been in a Disney Pixar mode lately. I blame James Luke Burke’s Virtual Voyage class that I participated in this month and that just ended. I haven’t even gotten through all of the lessons yet—and honestly I’m…

Read moreMay seemed like it went by in a blur. Honestly, so much has changed and is still changing. I’m just riding the wave of it and seeing where it takes me. I’m hoping for all good things, but you never know with life. Anyway, I just wanted to share a few things I’m currently enjoying this month: WATCHING Raya and The Last Dragon on Disney+. OMG this was a great…

things i’m loving ✩ 20 | april 2021
Read moreApril really marked a shift in my life I think. I turned another year older and tried out some new things. I started a new temp job too, so we’ll see how that goes. I call it my first “real people job” because all of my other ones were fake. No I’m kidding, but they were off the books, so technically were they even real? Anyway, here are a few…
