What To Do Inside on a Rainy Day


Hello everyone! It has been raining all day today, but unlike some, I love the rain. It gives us a good atmosphere to stay inside, spend time with our families, or spend much needed time with ourselves. So here are some ideas for a fun day indoors.

1.  Learn something new- 

I can’t speak for everyone but I know my bookshelf is full of untouched books chalk full of interesting and useful information. From ‘Herbal Remedies’ to “The History of Fashion,” there is a plethora of different things to read about. It never hurts to expand the knowledge of your mind. If you don’t have any books on hand, you may be able to check them out for free through an electronic library, or use the internet for your research. Whether book or phone, make sure your author is using reliable sources, and have fun learning. 

  1. Work on a project- 

  1. At the moment, I am toiling away with a little cross stitch, just begging to be finished and framed. Whether seamstress, artist, crotchet-er, or aspiring baker, there are lists all over the internet and craft stores all over the world, full of projects ready to be made on a rainy day. Here are some of my favorite lists of projects:

  1. Self-care day-

  1.  Last, but not least, is one of my favorites. Use the time inside to take care of yourself. I recently took some time off from my job to relax and rest, but I am itching for other ways to be productive. I find myself overdoing chores, running unnecessary errands, and basically finding anything I can to fill up my day, forgetting that I took the time off initially to rest. Fill up the bath. Break out the face masks, the yoga mat, and the tea. Meditate, take your meds, and set up your next therapy appointment. Do what is good for you, and makes you feel good. Rainy days are good reminders to take care of ourselves. 


Anyways! If you’re struggling to find activities for a rainy day, I hope this lists helps you in making your decision. Have a wonderful rainy day ♥️

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,...
