Favorite movies 🍿

 Hello everyone! School has just started and I am so excited to be back and learning again 🤓 but another thing I’m excited to be doing is getting more time to movie watch! So I thought I would share some of my favorite movies!

1. The Secret Garden


The Secret Garden is a timeless, all time favorite of mine. I read the classic novel and received the movie as a gift for my 9th birthday. I watched it over and over again. I love the magic of finding a place that only you know about. All the secrets Mary was finding in the manor sparked so much excitement in me when I was young. As I grow older I can appreciate and understand the characters, as well as enjoy the theme more. The appreciation for something as simple as a garden is so healing, and this movie reminds one of that. 

2. Little Women


Little Women was the last movie I saw in a real theatre when it came out in January 2020, and am I glad it was! I also read this classic but not all the way through! So the twist of fate (no spoilers!) was a horrible tug on my heartstrings and I did cry so many times. A notable thing in this movie were the incredible performances by the women. Florence Pugh was especially remarkable as Amy, and made so many people change their opinions from one of loathing to endearing. Highly recommend! 

3. Juno


Juno is one of my mom’s favorite movies. Micheal Cera and Elliot Page play such lovable actors in this film. It has, in my opinion, one of the most playable soundtracks: chalk full of good indie music, and tells such a real and heartbreaking story of teen pregnancy. One of my favorite parts about this film is that it contains such effortless humor. I still remember the gas station clerk at the beginnings’ lines word for word, that is how memorably  funny some of the lines were. I would absolutely recommend a watch! 

4. The Edge of Seventeen 

I felt so much like Nadine throughout my high school career. Confused, lonely, and struggling in my relationships to others. This movie is another that is effortlessly humorous, but also introspective, important, and it can definitely also be a tear jerker. Hailee Steinfeld’s award winning acting, certainly shines through as she plays a hilariously socially awkward teenager girl dealing with a complicated family and friendship dynamic, and this is another movie I would really recommend. 


5. Mamma Mia 2; Here We Go Again! 


Specifically the second one; yes. ABBA may not have been around when I made it to the earth, but I certainly bopped to all their past hits in this soundtrack. I was forced to watch the first mamma Mia by a friend and while it wasn’t my favorite movie in the world, I found it endearing enough to go watch the sequel. I adore this movie. All the mother/daughter moments made me ugly cry in the theatre. I also loved Lily James as young Donna and Cher as her mother. That was literally so iconic. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you enjoy musical theatre. 

That is all my rankings! If you don’t agree, that’s absolutely fine, you probably have better taste than me, lmao. But if you do; great! I’d love to hear about it 💕 thank you so much for reading! I hope you’ll stop by again soon for the next post!

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,...
