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. Not much to say today. I’m sharing another literary essay about Shakespeare just in case there’s anyone out there struggling with a school assignment or looking for a subject for a paper for English class. Obviously you can’t copy what I wrote, but it can give you inspiration. Now this particular Shakespeare play can be a little confusing just because the … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: The Love of Lies in Twelfth Night
Hi world! Chris here. So, this week, I decided to focus on a topic I’ve never really discussed on my blog before. That topic is science. Recently, I stumbled across an old essay I wrote all about turning algae into renewable energy. I feel like this topic is pretty relevant today as the world is being pushed into finding sustainable energy sources. It’s also relevant … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: Algae: The New Energy
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. Sorry for the untimely update. I had the terrible misfortune or parting with a beloved dog last month, and it really dampened my desire to post anything. Then I had the amazing opportunity to be in my best friend’s wedding, so I was too busy to post anything. However, I really didn’t want to leave you all hanging, so I decided … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: Just a T-Shirt

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!
Here, There, and Back Again
