The Happy Place Effect … Again?

I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting in the latter of the year. To be honest, this has been the hardest year of my life. I’ve dealt with loneliness, with loss, and with my mental health in a way I never have before. I referenced this last year when I first wrote about Emily Henry’sContinue reading “The Happy Place Effect … Again?”

The Happy Place Effect

Some books make you feel. Other books REALLY make you feel. I had a bad week this week and to try to pull myself out of it, I picked up Happy Place by Emily Henry. Happy Place was one of my favorite reads from 2023 and I’ve been wanting to reread it since. The storyContinue reading “The Happy Place Effect”

I’ve been traveling (which is AMAZING and I wouldn’t trade it for anything) andContinue reading “Getting Creative this Spring”

Over the weekend, my friend and I went to High Limb Cider in Plymouth and I can’t recommend it enough! If you’veContinue reading “High Limb Cider”

I’m Meeting the Dawson’s Creek Cast!!

Dawson’s Creek has always been my ultimate comfort show. My parents watched the show when it was airing on tv, and one year for Christmas, I got the series on dvd so the three of us could watch the show together. I love the stories on the show, but I also love it because ofContinue reading “I’m Meeting the Dawson’s Creek Cast!!”
