    Growth and New Beginnings – “Deeper Well” Review

    The world is waking up again. I go outside and I can hear birds again. Plants are starting to poke back up, strong and green. I see the family of rabbits that live near my apartment darting between trees, just now starting to grow leaves (or even bloom with little flower buds). This time of…

    Giving My Unsolicited Opinion on Every Neopets Species (Part 2)

    Last time you saw me, I was inspired by my recent and enthusiastic foray back into my nostalgic childhood playground of Neopets to review every one of the 55 pet species available on the website. Of course, that’s a tall order for just one post, so I decided to split it into two. Therefore, if…

    Giving My Unsolicited Opinion on Every Neopet Species (Part 1)

    If you haven’t heard yet, let me be the first to let you know that nearly 25-year-old browser-based pet game Neopets still exists in the year 2024. I know I told you about this last year, but recent events have led me to believe, shockingly, that things are actually getting better on Neopets. Despite some…

    A Review of Fashion Dreamer – On Its Own Merits

    Sorry for the radio silence from me! I had every intention of posting this about two weeks ago, but I have been battling the worst chest cold of my entire life on top of all of the end-of-semester and holiday responsibilities that come about this time of year. So, this blog got put on hold…

    FROCKTOBER: Reviewing Taylor Swift Outfits from Across the Eras

    For the final week of our themed October, I thought I’d return to a topic I often find myself covering here on this blog. My favorite blonde superstar, Miss Taylor Alison Swift. (What? There’s another week of October left? Nah, I don’t think I see that. We’ve got something else coming next week, anyway.) Taylor…

  • FROCKTOBER: A Roast of Torrid

    I will admit – when coming up with ideas for things to talk about during this fashion-themed month, doing a roast of Torrid felt like low-hanging fruit. It’s all inspired by one of my favorite YouTubers, nisipisa, and her ongoing window shopping series, where she scrolls through the websites of various fast fashion retailers and…

    FROCKTOBER: Reviewing Gilmore Girls Outfits

    After a day-long rainstorm, fall weather has finally finally descended where I live. Fall is my favorite season, and I’m so thankful to have left the 80 degree days behind… knock on wood, of course. Once the weather starts to get like this (and, truthfully, before) I’m always reaching for my favorite cozy fall media,…

    An Ideal Pop Future – “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” Review

    I’m sympathetic to the worries some have expressed about how platforms like TikTok are affecting the music industry. The demands of music to be slick and catchy and relatable for a 10-second audio meme has developed a pop landscape that can sometimes feel built on a foundation of sand – look away from that one…
