Countdown to Christmas Week 1

I think I did this last year, in lieu of getting an advent calendar (need to budget and plan better) and because I’m feeling Grinch-y, I’ve been trying to do some sort of Christmas activity every day of December until Christmas (well and after, since it. is. still.

A Literary Christmas

I’m linking up here for A Literary Christmas. I think I’ll also make this list a page.

October = Castlemania. This time I started from the beginning (so good) and watched into season 6 thinking that maybe I’d be able to watch the whole show.

Dark Academia Starter Pack Dark Academia Lookbook Dark Academia Room… Continue reading “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

Beauty: Sunscreen Again

After the sunscreen controversy, I was left wanting specific products recommended, and apparently other people did too, so Odile Monod produced this video. I’m going to be trying the outdoor ones.

A Tolkien Blog Party Tag

I’m joining in Hamlette’s A Tolkien Blog Party and answering this tag. I was going to try to reread Tolkien before during this year’s blog party, but since I don’t own the books and have set my heart of some very expensive copies, and I must read it a certain way because I mustn’t do… Continue reading A Tolkien Blog Party Tag
