This vs This One of my first purchases when starting zero waste was a Klean Kanteen. In the zero waste movement, a reusable water bottle is consistently listed as “One of the Big Four”. There is a bottle of water on my bedside table — it’s convenient and I’ve always done it. Upon starting […]
For the majority of 2018 I have been in a blogging rut. I’ve read, I’ve just lacked the enthusiasm to blog about it. I want to enjoy what I’m reading without the self imposed pressure to review it. I’ve tried to invoke my original spark for book blogging, but come up empty handed. During my […]
For the past month I’ve pinned articles on Zero Waste and living a natural lifestyle. What sparked my interest in living a greener and less wasteful lifestyle started with paper coffee filters. I cannot function in the morning without a cup of coffee. However, every time I throw that paper filter in the garbage I […]
Coming to a Theater Near You is a new monthly feature to highlight novels that are being released to the big (or small screen) in the coming month. Due to my enjoyment of reading the book before the movie I also plan on using these monthly posts as a list of books I’d like to […]

When people ask why I became a vegetarian/pescatarian my answer is “I wouldn’t want […]
I’ve stated it before, but I’m a sucker for a film that has been adapted from a book. I’m not sure what it is because the book is almost always better than its adaptation, yet I still love seeing a story come to screen. Recently, I’ve been watching a lot of films that fit this […]
I have been unmotivated in regards to reading and blogging. I am in a slump. It is not that I have lost interest in these hobbies but rather a dispassion towards our current society. I have stated it before but one’s emotional state can really affect my reading experience and an orange has done it […]
A disagreement I commonly have with my boyfriend is not over taking the trash out but over Lord Voldemort. Yes, you read that correctly, Lord Voldemort. I grew up with the novels, said his name in hushed whispers and grew chills when he emerged from a graveyard. My boyfriend, who chose National Geographic over Hogwarts […]
The world did not end when the Cubs won the World Series but after Tuesday’s election results I am more uncertain than ever and feel the “Cub’s Goat” is having the last laugh. I’m sure like many, I watched the election results in disbelief, it took me days to grasp the new reality and even […]
