~October~ My favourite month of the year! After I drag my Halloween and fall decorations from the deep abyss that is my closet to decorate my bedroom for the next 3 months, I can get cozy with a spooky novel or three! I honestly tried to make up for my lack of reading over theContinue reading “Currently Reading: October & November 2019”

So obviously I have been neglecting reading (and admittedly, my blog) for quite some time! But I swear I have a good excuse, you see: World of Warcraft Classic was released! So of course, who has time to read when you spend the entire summer playing video games non-stop? But have no fear, I haveContinue reading “Currently Reading: July, August, September 2019”

~Summer~ The very word evokes warmth and relaxation- with beaches, camping, ice cream, and leisurely drives up the coast. It’s a time to get out and enjoy festivities with your friends and family, when the weather is almost always perfect. In the Northern Hemisphere (particularly the Americas) summer also marks the end of the schoolContinue reading “An Introduction to Summer”

For the months of May and June I decided to dig into my TBR pile for Giveaway wins that I had received but never got a chance to read as they sat on a corner of my bookshelf taunting me. I’m a massive fan of supporting local artists and up and coming writers so IContinue reading “Currently Reading: May & June 2019”

As you meander your way up the coast following the famous 1 North for four and a half hours outside of Los Angeles you’ll find something that you wouldn’t have expected to see at the doorstep of an elephant seal rookery- a castle. Nestled on a cozy 250,000 acres across a ridge jutting out fromContinue reading “The Beauty of Hearst Castle”

♥   ♥   ♥ Ah, spring! A beautiful, most energetic time of year, and arguably nature’s most bipolar season! From calm, clear skies over rolling green hills to sudden freak, flurries burrowing the landscape in an inch or two of snow for a few hours, Spring sure does know how to keep everyone on their toes.Continue reading “An Introduction To Spring”

Now if you really appreciate horror you understand it’s very hard to juggle a plausible story line with scenes of terror that have you sitting there thinking, ‘Wow’. It’s very difficult nowadays to conjure up a narrative that leaves everyone in the audience gripped from beginning to end regardless of genre, but in horror thatContinue reading “The New Horror Media You Need To See”

Admittedly, I was a bit lazy in March and only read one book so I decided- why not combine it with April and spread from my comfort zone a little? I’ve been in a bit of a book slump the last month, so I tried to mix it up a bit again with a novel,Continue reading “Currently Reading: March & April 2019”

I could include the obvious like Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones, but if you haven’t heard of those or intend to watch them then nothing I say will convince you otherwise! So instead I’m going to focus on possibly lesser known TV series that deserve a mention! Photo by rawpixel.com on Pexels.com TL;DR: BarryContinue reading “TV Series To Look Out For”

So I decided to do a little post every month or so about what has caught my eye or what I am currently obsessed with. Whether it be clothing, cosmetics, books, or just places I’ve been or weird things I have seen! TL,DR Topics: *Cosmetics *Amazon Buys *Food   ***   Cosmetics: So back inContinue reading “February Obsessions 2019”

So this month I decided to shake it up a little! After trying to catch up on my embarrassingly large TBR pile I decided instead that I was going to read the manga of a few anime I’d seen awhile ago. I’ve always wanted to go back after watching my anime and find the manga,Continue reading “Currently Reading: February 2019”

So this month I focused on trying to finish two books I never got a chance to finish back when they first came out. January was surprisingly quite a busy month for me, between getting sick, playing all the video games I got for Christmas, and saying goodbye to the house dog, I didn’t getContinue reading “Currently Reading: January 2019”

I love to read, it’s not a secret- from graphic novels, science journal entries, to video game lore I get quite invested in the stories and worlds that every day people like you and I manage to conjure up. There’s so many unique ideas or complete twists on classic favourites that every story out thereContinue reading “Recommended Manga”

December is a really busy month for me (but I mean, I guess that’s the same for everyone!), half the time I forget to eat because I’m so busy! But I managed to make time for two books this month, and of course I choose the two most wintry themed books I had in myContinue reading “Currently Reading: December 2018”

Let’s face it, being alive is expensive- and being alive on point is damn near impossible. Luckily, there are so many options out there to help bring costs down and get things either free or near free. You just have to be willing to put in a tiny amount of effort!   Subscription Services: It’sContinue reading “How To Beauty on a Broke Bitch Salary”

Good ‘ol Reddit, the one place on the internet where everyone can get together and share news, information, and stories without bias. That part of the internet that has yet to sell its soul to some conglomerate, and as such has become a favourite among my generation to interact with like minded individuals. Several timesContinue reading “~Reddit Secret Santa 2018~”

Ah, winter. Arguably the best time of the year; a time when you light up the fireplace, drink way too much eggnog, and visit family you barely know! But like Thanksgiving, it’s the time of year to be thankful for all you have and all you have worked towards, as a new year is justContinue reading “An Introduction to Winter”

So 2018 was a great year for game releases, and I have to include the obvious in this list because they are just so perfect! There are a lot more in depth reviews of these games available online by people who are much better at reviewing than I am, but I just love to shareContinue reading “Best Video Games of 2018”

Blizzcon The annual gathering of nerds who dedicate themselves to the worlds of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm. Some of us have been fans since the very beginning, others only recently- but we all share the same love for Blizzard games. And Blizzard has given us something in return, aContinue reading “Blizzcon 2018”

Due to Blizzcon and NaNoWriMo my reading pile this month was short (but sweet). I’m having one of those fantasy drives at the moment (all thanks to the NaNoWriMo challenge),  but I tried to focus on books that were in my TBR that everyone in my writing and reading groups had been pestering me toContinue reading “Currently Reading: November 2018”

The dictionary defines shoujo (or shojo) as: “a genre of Japanese comics and animated films aimed primarily at a young female audience, typically characterized by a focus on personal and romantic relationships. “the world of shojo manga is the natural habitat for love stories of all possibilities and combinations””   Most of the anime inContinue reading “Recommended Shoujo Anime”

In this day and age we have access to so much information we are now able to question our way of life, our motives and morality for our day to day choices. We have the ability to decide now- with our wallets and voices, to tell companies, family, and friends what we want to supportContinue reading “How To Be Cruelty Free”

Like anyone who knows me knows, you don’t ask what my favourite book(s) are, because I will come at you with a list longer than Samuel L Jackson’s career. I will also never stop talking and won’t let you leave. But at least over the internet you don’t have to worry about that- for theContinue reading “Recommended Young Adult Reads”

Although I read several books at once and over several different platforms, I normally pull a few books from my TBR pile and set them aside as my goal for the month. I’d just finished Sky In The Deep by Adrienne Young, a story about a young viking warrior named Eelyn who lives a brutalContinue reading “Currently Reading: October 2018”

Straddling the border between Nevada and California, nestled in a valley between the Sierra Nevadas is a wide, deep blue lake fringed by the rugged wilderness of a lost era. In the southern tip of this valley sits a town renown for the myriad nature sports on offer during the summer and winter. It’s aContinue reading “The Beauty of South Lake Tahoe”

Easily my favourite season, fall brings back cozy memories of sitting in front of the fireplace with a good book, a cup of tea, and a scented candle. It conjures up images of pumpkins and pies, turkey and cinnamon, the changing of leaves from their bright, healthy greens of a successful spring and summer throughContinue reading “An Introduction to Fall”

I’m one of those weirdos who can’t just sit down with one book and enjoy (and it’s a rare occasion where I literally will disappear from the face of the Earth for a few hours when I find a book where I just immerse myself so thoroughly nothing can break the trance I’m in). OnlyContinue reading “My Favourite Books of All Time”

I bet that word brings back memories. Memories of the early 1990s (or even earlier), of basic french tipped hard plastic nails that came in a dinky box and (if you were lucky) didn’t fall off the moment you glued them on. They’ve come a long way since then, with brands like imPress and Kiss.Continue reading “The New Press On Nails”

I was apprehensive when I first made the move to Los Angeles. Although all the visits before tried to prove otherwise I was still nervous about moving to a place where it was “perfect” year round. Unwavering weeks of constant sunshine, light breezes- a place where the temperatures were typical highs of 80F to lowsContinue reading “The Beauty of the South Bay”

So I decided to create one of these because I was bored and figured, why not? But, I suppose that’s how any good thing begins, one day someone wakes up and decides: what do I have to lose, really? I should probably begin with a list of what really defines me as a person: TheContinue reading “A Test of Things To Come”
