My Travel Altar

Hi everyone! Today I’m showing you what my ā€œtravelā€ altar looks like! I first created a travel altar while my mom was in the hospital. I needed something small (at first, it was just an Altoids tin) that I could take while visiting my mom. The size of the altar grew slowly over a few…

What I’ve been up to – 2021 recap

Linda maestra! (Pretty Teacher!), published 1799, Francisco de Goya It’s been almost a year since I last posted! In my last post, I wrote that the new year wouldn’t be any different from 2020.

5 tips for decluttering before a move

Hello everyone, I hope that you are healthy and safe. My partner and I recently moved into my mom's house, and I've been much happier here than at our old apartment. My family has always been vital to me, and I feel pretty homesick whenever I'm apart from them. I've been much more comfortable in…

No, I'm not talking about the vintage Polly Pockets that I've been scouring eBay for. I'm talking about Aisle period underwear!
