  • As my solar return approaches…

    This year for Halloween, I dressed as Bee from Bee and Puppycat, my new favorite TV show. It premiered on Netflix only about a month ago.

  • Wife of the Dark Lord (chapter 12 – the finale)

    There was a letter at my door. It was addressed from Olivia. I hadn’t heard from her in quite some time, so I eagerly shredded the envelope open, unsure of what to expect. “Dear, Valerie. This town is small, so I don’t know if you’ve heard the news yet. I’m hoping you haven’t, as I

    Taylor Swift released “Midnights” on October 21st. I wasn’t sure what type of sound to expect, since she is known for switching her tune on almost every new album. I prepared myself for something totally different; a lot of people were suspecting a rock record. The promo photos had a 70s, vintage aesthetic, which sparked

  • Wife of the Dark Lord (chapter 11)

    I was still in my early twenties. I felt so young, yet according to the society I was living in, I was nearly considered an old maid. Heck, my childhood best friend, Annabella, had already been married, given birth to four babies over the years, her eldest daughter now eleven-years old, and then separated —

  • Horoscope for October 2022

    Lately, it feels like everything has been moving backwards — that’s because most of the planets are currently in retrograde. There’s been a lot of hurdles, long waiting periods, and moments of pause and reassessment. That’s all about to change in October.

  • Decoding “Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey

    I’m going to be “decoding” Lana Del Rey songs — beginning with her most popular and going from there. Much of her music has been misunderstood and quickly judged by critics with closed minds.
