Little Gifts To Brighten Someone's Day

I love gift giving. There is something about tangible, holdable expressions of love, that speaks to my eclectic, sentimental, old soul. I love planning gifts for people in my life, and something I am always striving to get better at is giving gifts for no real reason. In this blog post I am sharing so many ideas for gifts, they can be just because gifts, birthday gifts, graduation gifts, gifts for when your friend is sad, gifts for when you just want someone to feel loved, and at the end some small gestures that can also be gifts.

Reflections of An English Major

As I write this dear reader, I am supposed to be writing an essay about the historical context of John Donne’s "A Valediction: of Weeping" and how the modern reader might misinterpret it. It’s my final project for my British Literature 1 course and it’s dense.

I only have two days left of my first year at college, and I thought I would share some thoughts and insight on my year as an English major.

Redefining Beauty

I don’t know who taught me that the difference between beautiful and ugly is. Not only do I not remember the teacher, I don’t remember when the lesson was taught.

Yet Another Birthday

As is yearly tradition at this point, I just had a birthday and thought I would share it with you. I treat birthdays with a lot of respect and I agree with Anne Shirley that “it isn’t as if birthdays are common things”.

Living Like A Disney Princess Part 1

I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that I love princesses. Specifically, Disney Princesses. I wanted to write a spring recommendations post or something along those lines, but then I got thinking and thought, what about giving spring coded recommendations based on Disney Princesses? They are perfect examples of Old Fashioned Girls, girls who are sweet, kind, and beautiful yet make up their own minds and work towards things bigger than them. Think of this as your guide to becoming a Disney Princess yourself.

Dear Writer Girl,

Dear writer girl. Maybe you’re perfectly fine the way you are. Like maybe it’s okay if you don’t touch your manuscript for 700 days.

Two Years of An Old Fashioned Girl

“The "Old-Fashioned Girl" is not intended as a perfect model, but as a possible improvement upon the Girl of the Period, who seems sorrowfully ignorant or ashamed of the good old fashions which make women truly beautiful and honored."
-Louisa May Alcott, An Old Fashioned Girl
