tell me a fairy tale

February 26, 2020.Reading time 1 minute.

Today is “Tell a Fairy Tale Day” so I wanted to share a little fairy tale inspired poetry I’ve been working on! These are part of a collection where I am exploring traditional feminine roles and imagery and how these should or should not define women. I think fairy tales, though my favorite story type, […]

VIIcode Overnight Eye Masks

September 24, 2019.Reading time 3 minutes.

There is nothing less magical than waking up and having dark circles under your eyes, even if you slept a full eight hours or not. I normally use an eye mask from Target to help rejuvenate my eyes, but how amazing would it be if you could wake up like that? VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask […]

Have Courage & Be Kind

January 14, 2019.Reading time 3 minutes.

Choosing kindness isn’t choosing weakness. Choosing yourself doesn’t have to be selfish. Sweet Cindy teaches us many, many lessons. From her humble attic room, she gets up every single day with a smile and a dream and continues to work in her suffocating home with grace. We should all admire her work ethic. We’re quick […]

TREACHEROUS

January 6, 2019.Reading time 3 minutes.

I don’t know how your 2018 went, but mine was a literal rollercoaster. I made some of my literal all time favorite memories (hey Disneyland, hey DCP) and I also experienced some gut-wrenching lows which I have not been shy of talking about on here. But despite the downward slopes of 2018, I’m feeling so […]

Costumes

November 26, 2018.Reading time 4 minutes.

As of yesterday, I officially have worn every merchandise costume in the Magic Kingdom. I didn’t intend on completing this little challenge until I realized I only had two more left to complete the set. So, in order of my favorites to least favorite, here are a series of low quality selfies that document my […]

Part of Your World

October 24, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

Comparison is the thief of joy and mermaid tails. Ever find yourself swimming through an ocean of opportunities you never took or wish you had? Same. Do you have a collection of roles you wish you could partake in but find yourself stuck in the same old grotto? I’ve got twenty. But who cares? Nbd. […]

Disneyland

October 16, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

I have become so desensitized to the magic that swirls when you step onto Main Street for the first time. I still feel it, and appreciate it, but I expect it. I had forgotten the wonder of when you step onto it for the first time. When every window, every cast member, everything is new. […]

Love Is An Open Door

September 21, 2018.Reading time 7 minutes.

Love is an open door… and mine are all closed. Lately I’ve felt a lot like Princess Anna continually knocking on Elsa’s door only to be rejected time and time again. Doors aren’t opening the way I wanted them to, and they didn’t for Anna either. Yet Anna remains hopeful even when there is nothing […]

You’ve Got A Friend In Me

September 18, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

Friendship is a funny thing. It is the best gift and the most heartbreaking goodbye. At its height, it is pure magic. It’s no secret that I’ve had a rough adjustment after all of my incredible roommates moved out after our program ended. Losing community is the hardest challenge and loneliness is not easily overcome. […]

I Live In Fantasyland

August 26, 2018.Reading time 9 minutes.

When people think of Disney World, they think of Magic Kingdom. When they think of Magic Kingdom, they think of Fantasyland. Every thing else is just a bonus. Fantasyland has always been my favorite land in the tragic kingdom. If there was ever a place that magic actually existed, it would be there. In the […]
