Hi world! Chris here. It’s August now which means it’s officially time to round up all the new sustainable challenges I accomplished last month and share them here to inform and inspire! Hope you enjoy 🙂 Week #1 This is a big green trend that a lot of people talk about. However, it’s also one that’s really easy to forget about. I have a few … Continue reading July Green Initiatives
Hi world! Chris here. Growing up in the country, I’ve kind of always been a part of the trend that is called cottagecore. Defined as a lifestyle that involves creativity and simplicity, it focuses around pastoral aesthetics with lots of florals, foods, and homemade objects. Now that I’m out of college and living back home, I’ve had a bit more time on my hands due … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: The Ultimate Cottagecore Playlist
Hi world! Chris here. Sorry I didn’t check in last week, but it was Easter weekend and I gave myself a little holiday for it. However, I’m back now and I’ve recently finished Janella Angeles’s debut duology, Kingdom of Cards, and I am OBSESSED! I haven’t written a real book review before, but I am so in love with this series that I’m going to … Continue reading I Love This Book and You Should Too
Hi world! Chris here. So about two Christmases ago, my mom gave me a packet of cards with small challenges to make one live a bit more eco friendly one week at a time. I tried to use them before, but would always end up forgetting to draw another one. This month, however, I decided that was going to end. Because this month, I decided … Continue reading February Green Initiatives

Hi world! Chris here. Today, I was looking back at some of the old essays I wrote in college to think of some different books for programming and whatnot for my job. During my search, I happened to stumble upon one of the most interesting topics I think authors can try to tackle. Feelings of emptiness or loneliness always fascinate me in characters and even … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: Exploring Themes of Emptiness from Elizabeth Strout
Hi world! Chris here. Keeping in theme with the hiking post last week, I decided to use this week to look at the two-part short story from Hemingway that focuses on a solo trip into nature for some personal healing. While I am personally not a huge fan of Hemingway as a writer nor as a person, I do enjoy that kind of outdoorsy mentality. … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: Diving Deep into Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River”
Hi world! Chris here. Can’t believe it’s been SO LONG since I uploaded a post for you guys. I promise it was not on purpose. Over the summer (when the world was shut down) I focused all my free time into writing a full length draft of my future novel. It was so fun and I was obsessed with it, but it absolutely fried my … Continue reading I’m Back!
Hi world! Chris here. Sorry this is a week late, but I got busy making up dentist appointments and what not. Anyways, I’m here now and I wanted to talk about my big summer read. I’ve had Jane Eyre on my ‘to read’ list forever, but never got around to it until it was required for class. As a big fan of Wuthering Heights (Emily … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: Jane Eyre Vs. Feminism
Hi world! Chris here. I don’t claim to be a film critic, but I did take my first class on properly understanding and analyzing movies. Turns out it’s not all that different from looking at literature. So, I wanted to use this week of Redhead Reviews to talk about a classic “scary” movie that I only recently watched for the first time. I’ve never had … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: Shining a Light on Mise En Scene
