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

Because this month, I decided … Continue reading February Green Initiatives

Hi world! Chris here. Sorry this post is coming after two weeks of total silence, but I’ve actually been super sick with mono and that was beyond miserable so there was no way I was going to be up for writing a whole blog post.

Hi world! Chris here. I’m finally back and ready to entertain your time in quarantine by sharing my time in New York! I would have uploaded a normal post last week, but I got sick from this very trip (it wasn’t Corona as far as I know) and it made me lazy.
