Happy Sunday. My goal is to make fall the most creative season ever. I want to stuff each day with art, writing, poetry, books, movies and music. It doesn’t matter if it’s something I’m making or enjoying what others have created.
Creative season begins now. This is your sign.
1. It’s officially Autumn
And I’m celebrating by never taking off this cardigan and drinking hot tea all day every day. I need to make an autumn playlist next.
Oh! And it’s horror movie season. Let me know if you want me to share a big list with you! There are so many categories within horror (my favorites are 1960s/70s and horror comedy).
2. TBR
This week I’m looking forward to reading Foreigners by E.L. Shen and Exit Party by Emily St. John Mandel.
Also one of my friends asked me for witchy book recommendations this week and here’s what I came up with: Circe, Magic Lessons and Cackle (enjoyed these all SO much!). I’d love to hear your witchy favorites.

3. Tattoo Time
I made a tattoo appointment every month until Christmas, just for fun. I love being in my tiny tattoo era. They are so quick, comparatively pain free and bring me joy. I’m planning to keep getting more until it’s not fun anymore. Oh.. and I plan them like 2 hours before my appointments (did I just stress you out?)
4. Bookish Etsy Shop
This Etsy shop has the cutest bookish items. I especially love this personalized journal and the little women section.
5. Mary Janes
I found the perfect pair of mary janes to go with tights.
6. Cooking at Home
I mentioned recently I’m trying to do better at meal prepping and eating at home. This week I made to batches of white rice, sweet potatoes and quinoa (in the best pan set ever) plus homemade aioli and some cooked proteins. All week we made different grain bowls and my kids loved it too.
Also…. baking all the time, but that’s nothing new.
7. Poppi Sour Apple
I’m a Poppi/Olipop enthusiast, so please believe me when I say that the new Sour Apple flavor is the greatest of all time. If you like sour things, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

8. Watercolors
If you want to try a watercolor paint set, this is the affordable set I got my girls.
9. Painting Porch
Since my painting room is a sunroom it gets hot and cold in extreme weather. I kind of love space heater season. It’s time for candles. Extra cozy!
