My June Faves 🏖


   Hello friends! It has been a hot minute since I uploaded any articles! This month has been a busy whirlwind, I feel, with a full time job and preparing for vacation, but last week I was finally able to take a looong break from it all. 

A lot has happened! A lot of experiences and fun, so without further ado, here are my June favorites!

1. Song ~ You Right- Doja Cat

Miss Doja! She came out with a new unexpected album titled “Planet Her” and I could not have been more excited. I have loved Doja since her Amala era and couldn’t wait to see what this album had in store. Though it is definitely subject to change, my favorite song at the moment is ‘You Right ft. The Weeknd.’ The moral is arguably questionable but music is less about morals and more about stories and experiences; right or wrong. I think what drew me to this song in particular is the beat behind it all. The production gave me a heavy feeling of immersion, as if I were being pulled into the world and feelings of the people in the story. I also really appreciate an R&B inspired track. Some other favorites I had off this album were ‘Naked’ and ‘Woman.’ ♥️ 

                                     


2. Film - In the Heights

 I adored 'In the Heights!' Though it has its problems, such as colorism in casting, which has been addressed by the producer, it is still a wonderful piece of representation for the Latin community here in the United States, and shows the struggles many majority minority neighborhoods face due to gentrification. The music and characters are incredibly lovable, and while I do still prefer the musical, this movie was still a treat to watch and my favorite film this month. 




3. Wardrobe Piece - Barefoot sandals
    When I was in high school,  I went through a bit of a boho phase. During that time, I probably would have killed for a pair of these. I found this pair at a small shop in Clearwater on my vacation called "The ten dollar jewelry outlet." Everything really was ten dollars or less. These are super cute and were the perfect accessory for beach going. 

4. Favorite food - Unicorn flavored ice-cream
   I currently work at an ice-cream parlor. Everything we make is homemade and delicious, so my expectations as far as ice-cream from somewhere else went; well, they weren't high. Let me tell you, that changed. Me and my family stopped at the location "Ice & Cream" in Madeira beach, and I was hooked. Unicorn flavor owns me at the moment. A Cotton candy base with m&m's? Criminal. The cookie monster was a close second but one I would definitely go back for. It was so good, I dreamed about it. 
(excuse my profuse sweating, Florida is literally hell lol)

5. Favorite Instagrammer - @terryaliceland
 Taking the conversation away from vacation, let's talk my favorite Instagram content creator. I adore Terry's content. The relaxing pictures and short videos always give me the serotonin I need to get through the day. Cottagecore idealists want what only she can provide. Her feed is flawless as an aesthetic creator, and she is definitely someone I would recommend following. It's good for your health.

That is all for this month! I sincerely hope you enjoyed it! I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your June. As for me, I will be reading, working, writing, and hopefully getting some things ready to set up in my depop shop ( and a regular uploading schedule 😂.)

Modern Poetry~ ✨

Image
      Anyone who knows me in real life knows I adore poetry. I have loved to write and read it since I was 11 years old, and I even took an extensive poetry course in high school.        While I do have my own quips with the extent of what i learned about it-like most subjects here in America, it is unfortunately very Eurocentric and I can’t help but hate I’m missing out on good poetry from other cultures 😩- I thoroughly enjoyed my time in getting to fully immerse myself in authors like Sylvia Plath, Linda Pastan, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and, my own personal favorite, Rumi.        However, I feel as if poetry is widely accepted more as a bygone art rather than something that is, currently. That is unfortunate, and so I took it upon myself to explore modern poetry books and options!         And where else to start but Rupi Kaur? The world of poetry was absolutely transformed by this amazing woman. She brought ...

Love and the Beach

Image
 I know, I know; the last thing people are thinking of is the beach right now! However, I went on a trip to the beach last month with my best friend, and call me superstitious, but I did a tarot reading before I went that made a HUGE deal out of it. This trip meant a lot to me, and like all revelations I have, I wrote. I figured my gift for the holidays to you is a few of the poems I wrote while there. ❤️  (PLEASE DO NOT REPOST WITHOUT CREDIT!!! These Are MY poems and MY poetry so please do not claim it as your own.) The Ocean How could I Look at something so vast And not believe under its surface Is something mystical, magical, and wonderful? I am already risking missing Lady Aphrodite’s arrival  Donned in white foam,  By taking the time to write this poem Things worth dying to know/ things worth dying to feel  My fear of the ocean is like my fear of love I am so drawn towards it,  Yet still so pushed away. I douse myself in the waves for the feel of such ...

I Tried to Have a High Tea Party ☕️

Image
  First of all, I’d like to apologize for my absence! I actually had a blog post planned that I just straight up forgot to write! I may revisit that for next month...   But for now, I’d like to take you through how I prepared for an event!! I’d like to clarify that I don’t actually know how to have traditional “high tea.” From what I looked up on it though, it seems as if it is less of a delicate tea party, if you will, and more of a late dinner of sorts for Laborers. I set my party up this way.  First! I invited my friend over with an invite! I have a video of That here:  I was going to make this a whole video as you can probably tell, but some bits were more Difficult to film than others~ I then picked out my foods. According to info I gathered, one typically Has bread and meats at a high tea party. It is because of this that I decided to have cornbread muffin and vegetable beef soup. I also had an orange cake just for a treat.  😊   Oh, and the tea,...
