"Candy is childhood, the best and the bright moments you wish could have lasted forever." — Dylan Lauren Time just keeps rolling on, and you get further and further from the wide-eyed wonder that you once were, dizzy in your own world of blanket forts and make-believe. I've always been a very nostalgic person—a double-edged sword of sorts. Who doesn't miss being a kid? You...
I've been so interested in makeup for as long as I can remember. I remember being young at a babysitter's house, and there were a handful of other girls my age there, and on occasion she would let us all play with some of her makeup. We went hog wild. And when my mom finally started letting me wear a little of my...
I mentioned in the previous post I made in this series that Ami was my favorite Scout growing up. I don't remember paying much attention to the other girls, really. I mean, of course, I didn't pay much attention to plot or anything either, considering I couldn't watch anything in order, only what happened to be on TV, so most of my impressions...
I've always been very prone to overthinking. A blessing, and a curse, I suppose, but mostly it can just get annoying. Learning to deal with it and finding ways to get out of my head for awhile and just chill has been a long process, but it gets a little easier all the time, and these are some things I try to make myself...
Have I mentioned how much I love the Holidays yet? No? Well, I've had Halloween playlists on repeat since like... Way before was probably appropriate, if that tells you anything. So, I decided to make one of my own with all of my most favorite ~spoOoOoky songs~ Disclaimer: best listened to on overcast, rainy days with an autumn-scented candle lit and fairy lights...
If it wasn't already abundantly clear, I am NUTS about any and all holidays. I used to only be so crazy about Christmas, but within the last year or so, I've broadened my holiday-horizons. So, to celebrate my joy over the spoOoOoky month, along with posting Halloween related things on here, I'm gonna be posting some spoopy song covers on my YouTube channel!...
The first time I saw Sailor Moon as a kid, Ami (or Amy, as it was in the '90s dub) immediately stole my heart. She was shy like me, she liked reading, and she had blue hair, which just so happened to be my favorite color as a kid. Solid reasons, in my six-year old mind. A drink idea for Ami was surprisingly...
I think it's something that every creative person thinks about a lot, whether all of their ideas will one day just... Dry up. Stop flowing. Gone forever. Which, y'know, sucks, because it kind of just stifles you more. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. I've been going through a lot of ups and downs lately in the creative venue of things, and these are some...
I've loved the idea of fictional-inspired foods for as far back as I can remember, starting with Disney films as a kid and moving on from there. The idea of combining various forms of media with things like fashion, food, and beauty is something I've always been so enchanted by, and most of the reason I started this blog. So, I was sitting...
Sometimes, you watch a show and you're like, "I love how [insert character here] dresses!" Sometimes, you like it so much that you'd wear it, if given the option. Enter, casual cosplaying. If you've never heard of casual cosplay (or closet cosplay), you're in for a treat. It's basically like covert dress-up for adults. Like, could anything be better? (This video explains the concept really...
It's Summer, which means I'm finding myself drawn to lipstick over eyeshadow. Humidity = oily lids. Not a cute look. I have pretty naturally oily lids anyway, but when it's hot, even primer has a hard time keeping creasing at bay, so I tend to forego shadow. Only last Summer did I finally—finally—hop on the lipstick wagon, but I've worn it enough that...
I think a lot about certain feelings that I like. Namely, whenever I'm not feeling those feelings. There's this particular kind of contentedness that I've been chasing for as long as I can remember, and I see it so clearly in my head, and I can almost feel it lingering on the edges of my fingertips, but it just isn't there most of the...
I've always had a hard time finding healthy snacks that I like, especially during summer. My appetite dwindles quite a bit when it's hot out. I've been making more of an effort lately to combat that, and pushing myself to eat more by finding small snack things that I enjoy, so these are some things I've been munching on as of late. CUCUMBER...
Pet-names are so endearing. I don't know what it is about them that I love so much, but I've always been someone who doles them out in spades when I'm comfortable with someone, and enjoys getting called them in turn. Growing up, my parents would call me "Lyss" or "sis," and my dad took a particular liking to calling me "monkey." Most times,...
