The Autumn Cozy Cafe

It’s been a while, friends, a while since I welcomed you into my little fantasy world. My cozy cafe where people find new friends, have a delicious treat, and get lost in a book. Laufey is playing, and the air is turning crisp, and I am welcoming you into The Oldfashioned Girl Cafe.

Today I’m sharing fall drink recipes and cozy books to accompany them.

Summer This Year

I don’t like summer, she’s my worst enemy. Someone more beautiful than I. I fear the heat and the endlessly empty days. Yet I crave summer, want it like I want them to actually adapt Ella Enchanted accurately.

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.

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.
