I have to admit that I have hit a wall when it comes to the pandemic. I feel as if I am floating in limbo, stagnant in all areas of my life. I do my best to stay positive and calm and trust that everything will turn out alright. But there are days I have full breakdowns. One thing I am struggling with right now is my creativity. (more…)

Are you one of the millions of people obsessing over Bridgerton? Or perhaps you always submerge yourself in the beloved classic Pride and Prejudice? If so, then today’s book review is for you! Lately I have been into period pieces and stories of romance through both books and television. It takes you back to a time where you feel nostalgic for what was, but you also didn’t experience it. This time period is in the Victorian Era where men wore top hats and women wore corsets and large skirts. When people spoke of honor and duty. Had manners and protocols. When men would properly court women so there wouldn’t be a scandal. Evie Dunmore’s “A League of Extraordinary Women” series has all of that. But what Dunmore adds to her romance novels are women who are brilliant, determined, and fighting for equal rights. Much like Elizabeth Bennett, these women are educated, have opinions and ideas of their own and are not afraid to express it. I highly recommend this book series! (more…)
The other day I was mindlessly walking around the city when I looked into a store window only to see a Valentine’s Day display. I thought it was a little early to already put out decor for the holiday, but in truth it is right around the corner. Is this year going fast or does time simple not exist anymore? With so many things closed down, it causes a limited amount of date night options. Valentine’s Day could seem a little frivolous to you because of this. Maybe you thought that before we were in a pandemic. To me, I think Valentine’s Day is still important, maybe more than ever. It’s the celebration of the ones you love- even if Cupid has not hit you with an arrow. It’s about celebrating love; love for family, love for friends, self love, love for your significant other, and love for community. What we need more than ever right now is to celebrate and spread love. (more…)
Who else is ready to ring in 2021? I, for one, am looking forward to a new year. To move forward to new opportunities and experiences and hopefully the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I hope and pray 2021 brings the calm and happiness we desperately need. It’s about time we step into the light. (more…)
