I must have written the title of this post a hundred times over. I don’t really know what to call this thing that I’m about to explain, but I can say that it’s the truth and it happens all of the time. I don’t like getting political on my blog, but with the current state of discourse, it’s hard to ignore certain things going around at the moment. But for…

on being a homebody
Read moreI like being home. It seems weird coming from me, a person who loves to travel, but when I’m here in my hometown of New York City, I just like being home, inside in my room with my dog, all of my crafty stuff and my imagination (or Netflix) to keep me company. I don’t know what it is, but I become this homebody whenever I return home. Generally, I only…

4 crafty podcasts i enjoy listening to
Read moreI’m going to be completely honest here, I’m not much of a podcast listener. It could be that I’d rather listen to music if I were to listen to anything. Or it could be that when I start something, I want to make sure that I’m up-to-date, so I tend to read/watch/listen to all the previous posts/episodes, and doing that with a podcast is absolutely crazy, especially if they’re each…

a love song to no one / acoustic single out now!
Read moreReady for yet another amazing announcement?! So, if you didn’t know, I write songs. I’m probably have only talk about my songwriting maybe only one other time here on the blog and that was very long ago, so no worries if you forgot. My music is pretty sacred to me and not many people know about it because it’s just that precious to me and it’s the only form of…

cool for the summer / a mixtape
Read moreI felt it was time to share another mixtape. I wish I could post these more often, but I don’t really listen to music like I used to. But I think that is because I don’t know where to find great music anymore that isn’t from the 1980s. Anyway, this mix is filled with all sorts of modern pop music goodness that I’ve been listening to over the summer. Since summer…

the stars are bright / a mixtape
Read moreSo, I’ve been working on a new story. It’s been awhile since I wrote fiction and a long while since I made a playlist! But I’ve had this idea for this story of mine, which is called the stars are bright (hence the name of the mix), and I even have a few pages of a first chapter! And while the ideas have been swarming around in my head, I decided…

kikki k haul: vanskap collection
Read moreI rarely share haul posts here on the blog (I do share my hauls on my YouTube channel), but this was too cute not to share. I ordered a few things from Kikki K’s new collection, Vanskap. It is the most adorable collection yet. It reminds me of their Dreaming Collection from 2012, which was a beautiful collection (and so me!) that I was never able to purchase as it…

the planner society kit review
Read moreThere are monthly kit subscriptions for just about anything these days. They’re just great ways to get an assortment of products for whatever hobby you’re into, delivered straight to your door. For awhile, I was very hesitant in starting a subscription to anything. There are a lot of scrapbook subscriptions that I toyed with the idea of subscribing to once, specifically Studio Calico’s Project Life subscription box. And while I…

some thoughts on my new york city
Read moreOkay, before I start venting about my home city of New York, I just want to say that I do love my city. It’s a great city and I can sort of see the hype everyone has around it (well, no I really don’t see it in the same way as an outsider may see it, but I get it). It’s big and new and so busy, there’s just a…
