We've made it a month into 2022, and it sure feels like everything is on fire, doesn't it? I'm trying to hang in there, and where a lot of my focus has gone to crafting out all the journal prompt lists for 2022. Less prompts per month meant I wanted to be very intentional about...

January 2022 Journal Prompts
It's a new year! Which means time for a new journaling challenge! In 2021, I challenged myself to journal every day and learn along the way. I started out with just writing prompts but slowly added in photo, doodle, list, and collage prompts until journaling basically became a cathartic art practice! So I want to... Continue Reading →
The History of the Icelandic Yule Cat
What could possibly make the Christmas season better in my opinion? Cats, of course! So cue the Yule Cat or Jólakötturinn, a giant cat from Nordic folklore that prowls the snowy countryside during yuletide and snatches up unsuspecting children who haven't received new clothes that year! This seemed like the perfect story to bring back... Continue Reading →
December 2021 Journal Prompts
Ok, but really...how are we at the END of 2021, already?! I'm both upset that another year has sped on by, but also celebrating that I've been actively journaling all year and have 12 months of journal prompts to show for it! So naturally, it's time for the last round of journal prompts for 2021:... Continue Reading →
November 2021 Journal Prompts
November is blowing in and that means new journal prompts! Nothing too new or crazy this month. I think I might have finally found my groove with this mix of prompt styles throughout the week and will probably finish out 2021 that way. I've not always been writing during the "Free Write" days lately either.... Continue Reading →
How to Make a Zip-tie Goddess Crown (or How to Get Over Yourself & Just Make a Video)
When I say I've been planning my latest video for over a year, I mean it. I've been eyeing zip-tie crown DIYs on Pinterest for a while, and when I saw a celestial-themed cape in Target's 2020 Halloween drop, I was so excited I even preordered it. (I'm the type of girl who loves Halloween/fall... Continue Reading →
Trying to CREATE not CONSUME
Wanting to disconnect from social media isn't a new notion for me. I usually have at least a week or two out of the year that I decide I'll delete all my social apps and be FREE. But I never go as far to delete my entire profiles. (Being an internet "creator" means I can't... Continue Reading →
October 2021 Journal Prompts
October means the start of SPOOKY SZN, baby! And that's reflected in this month's prompts (because it's my favorite time of year! Do I say that a lot? Maybe...) We've got the usual smorgasbord of prompt types (i.e. writing, doodle, photo, and free days). And lots of Halloween and autumn-themed prompts to get you in... Continue Reading →
Thoughts on Revisiting Your Childhood
I had the idea to start a 90s-themed craft series on my YouTube channel several years ago, but like most of the topics I'm more passionate about, I get nervous that they'll be too much work for too little reward. But between the start of the my 30s being very childhood-nostalgia centric and giving myself... Continue Reading →
When Everything Goes Wrong While Making a Video…
This week's new video started out a lot longer and different than what ultimately ended up being uploaded: https://youtu.be/4mK7oNWNQCI After seven months without posting videos, I thought it might be fun to create a "What I've Been Up to in 2021 So Far" type of video. Even though I wasn't making videos for the first... Continue Reading →
