5 Delights Since We Last Chatted
Ermigersh you guys, I’m sorry. Well, I’m not actually sorry. I got sick for 17ish days and didn’t feel like looking at a computer, let alone forming thoughts and typing them out. My flu symptoms were over the day of the T-Swift concert, so I went, but then had a terrible cough and sore throat…

Eras: Emily Edition
Oh my lordy you guys, what a week. So, in anticipation of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour tomorrow that I am lucky enough to have tickets to, I spent last weekend doing a photoshoot challenge with the help of friends of mine (much cooler and more tolerant than me). The challenge was this: Have a photoshoot…

The Imitation Game: Dressing to be Somebody Else
I’ve been impressionable my entire life. I liked to think I was above commercials, advertisements, and trends, and for the most part, I was. But give me a plucky book heroine, a television character who had their shit together, or a celebrity with utter confidence and I was a sucker. I wanted what they had…

5 Delights from This Week
1. I Got Lasik This is more of a potential delight, since I’m not sitting in the delighted part quite yet. On Thursday I got Lasik! I’ve had terrible eyesight since I was about 8 years old, so this is a big life change for me. I was the last appointment of the day, so…

A bunch of other things not school related also happened! Some awesome things, like: -Getting married (in 2019 right before the pandemic. Woofta!). -Moving to a new house (also in…

Top 10 Things I Love Right Now
Today happens to be the two year anniversary of my first post on this blog! It doesn’t seem like that long. Two years ago I was a wee 23 year old living in the big city (just kidding, it was a suburb only pretending) with two lowish-paying jobs each pulling one of my strings apart…

I’m Baaaaaaack…
So yes, I dropped off the face of the earth last summer. Life got a wee bit crazy and unfortunately I dropped one of the things I really enjoy doing in favor of other not so fun things. More on that later. I’ve been pining for my blog for awhile now, but for some reason…

Into The Water by Paula Hawkins
I was going to do my fiction post on The Girl Before by J.P. Delaney since that one has been extremely popular at the library, but I got halfway through it and had to skim the rest. It was just weeeeeeird. There was an irritating sprinkling of Fifty Shades, infuriating protagonists, and just way too many things happening with…

Simplify Your Stuff
Welcome to the first #PrettySimpleSunday of many! Today we’re going to have a lovely discussion of simplifying your stuff. Basically just a general term for all the crap scattered about your home or collecting dust and bat turds in the attic, or, god forbid, piled high in a storage unit you never visit. I’ve decided to start…
