I can’t stop letting it get to me. I try. I journal, I cry, I scream into pillows. I do the rituals, the grounding, the self-care. But it still eats at me. Because my sisters think I’m the problem. They act like I’m the villain in a story I didn’t write. And it hurts. It hurts. Sarah didn’t even blink.

Spoiler: You don’t need a crystal-covered altar or a full moon to be magical. When I first dipped my toes into witchcraft, I thought I needed to follow a strict set of rules, memorize correspondences, and have a perfectly curated witchy aesthetic. But guess what? Witchcraft is way more flexible, personal, and joyful than I ever imagined. So here are some things I wish someone had whispered into my ear with a sprinkle of glitter and a wink.

A year ago, something familiar and terrifying happened: I had another Bell’s palsy episode. It’s rare to get, but I’m no stranger to it. I had it three times as a kid, the last time when I was 14—over 14 years ago now. Back then, it was scary in a way I couldn’t explain. I didn’t understand what was happening, just that my face wasn’t working and people looked at me differently.

I’m tired.Not the kind of tired that a nap fixes.Not the kind of tired that a good night’s sleep erases. I’m tired in my bones.In my muscles.In the corners of my mind that never stop spinning. My body feels like it’s dragging through molasses. Every step, every chore, every “just push through” moment feels like a marathon I didn’t sign up for.

Hey friends, Screenshot November always feels like a soft exhale. The air gets crisper (well, Florida-crisp), the days slow down just enough to notice, and suddenly we’re surrounded by reminders to be thankful. This year, I’m not just grateful—I’m grateful to still be here. A lot has happened. Some of it cracked me open, some of it stitched me back together.

To all my fellow lovers of the spooky season, Whether you're dressing up as a vampire, a glittery ghost, or just rocking cozy socks and watching horror movies from your couch—I want to wish you the happiest, safest, and most magical Halloween. This holiday has always held a special place in my heart. From childhood trick-or-treating adventures to haunted hayrides and costume chaos, Halloween was the one time of year where weirdness was celebrated, imagination ran wild, and candy was currency.

Halloween isn’t just costumes and candy—it’s Samhain, the witch’s New Year! 🌙 This is the time when the veil between worlds is thinnest, making it perfect for magic, reflection, and connecting with ancestors. Whether you’re a solitary witch, a coven cutie, or just witch-curious, here are some enchanting ways to celebrate Halloween in true witchy style. 🕯️ 1. Create an Ancestor Altar…

There’s something about Halloween that feels like glitter in the air—spooky, sparkly, and a little mischievous. Growing up, I was that kid: the one who planned costumes months in advance, begged to hit every neighborhood for trick-or-treating, and lived for haunted hayrides and pumpkin patches. Halloween wasn’t just a holiday—it was a whole season of joy, chaos, and sugar highs.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5 stars)Spicy Meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (Scalding hot, emotionally devastating) If Bait was a slow descent into chaos, Poison is the full-body plunge into heartbreak, lust, and the kind of second-chance romance that makes you want to scream into the woods (which, let’s be honest, is very on-brand for us). 🖤 The Setup Anna and Lucas were once everything—fire, obsession, and ruin.

Welcome, my little crypt crawlers and popcorn-slinging scream queens! Today we’re diving into the haunted, hilarious, and horrifying world of my favorite spooky movie franchises. No ranking here—just pure chaotic love for the films that make me scream, laugh, cry, and occasionally gag (looking at you, Saw). Grab your slime-green blanket, light a cinnamon candle, and let’s get spooky 🕯️👻

Welcome back, besties! If you read Part 1, you already know I’m celebrating my 28th birthday by sharing 28 things I love—because why not turn aging into a glittery gratitude ritual? Here’s Part 2: the final 14 things that make my life feel magical, chaotic, and beautifully mine. 15. Witchy Things & Witchcraft 🔮 I discovered witchcraft in 2022 during a full-on mental breakdown (we love a transformation arc).

It’s my birthday month, and you know what that means: chaotic joy, glittery emotions, and a listicle that’s basically a love letter to my soul. I’m turning 28, so I thought I’d share 28 things that make my heart do a little dance. This is part one—14 things that have shaped me, soothed me, and made life feel like a cozy fever dream.

When you’re reading this, I’ll be 28.Crazy, right? I used to stop counting my birthdays after 18. Not because I didn’t care—but because I didn’t know if I’d make it this far. Back then, survival felt like a question mark. I didn’t plan for a future because I wasn’t sure I’d get one. But here I am.Still here. Still growing.

Let’s talk about birthdays. Supposedly the one day a year that’s yours. A celebration of your existence. A moment where people pause and say, “Hey, you matter.” Except… mine never felt like that. Growing up, my birthdays were dressed up in glitter and distractions—skating parties, pool parties, balloons and cake—but they were never mine. I wasn’t allowed to invite friends.

Hey boo-tiful souls 👻, October is here, and you already know—this is my season. The air is crisp, the vibes are witchy, and yes, it’s my birthday month! I’m officially 28, and I’ve got a cauldron full of reflections, celebrations, and spooky sparkle to share with you. But first, let’s talk about this month’s theme:You don’t need to forgive and forget to move on.

Sometimes, healing doesn’t look like journaling with a lavender latte or doing a 10-step skincare routine while whispering affirmations. Sometimes, it looks like stomping into the woods, finding a spot where no one can hear you, and just screaming until your lungs give out and your soul feels a little lighter. I’ve been fantasizing about it lately—just disappearing into the trees, letting the moss and branches swallow me whole, and yelling until the ache in my chest turns into steam and floats away.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5 stars)Spicy Meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (Off the charts) Let’s talk about Bait—a book that had me clutching my iPad, gasping, and whispering “Jade West, you did not just write that.” Spoiler alert: she absolutely did. 🖤 The Premise Abigail Summers is spiraling. She’s stuck in a loop of self-destruction, craving pain and punishment as a way to cope with her emotional wounds.

Witchcraft isn’t just bubbling cauldrons and moonlit rituals—it’s full of quirky history, magical surprises, and enchanting little truths that make the craft even more delightful. Whether you’re a seasoned spell-slinger or just broom-curious, these fun facts will add a sprinkle of charm to your day! 🧹 1. Witches Didn’t Always Ride Brooms The broomstick (or besom) became a witchy symbol thanks to folklore, but originally, it was used to sweep away negative energy before rituals.

Let’s talk about a fashion moment that truly shifted my vibe: discovering the Terra & Sky Women’s Plus High Rise Biker Shorts with Pockets. I snagged them at Walmart for just $9.98, and honestly? I’ve never looked back. ☀️ Florida Heat? No Sweat. Living in Florida means battling heat and humidity like a daily boss fight. These biker shorts are my armor.

Let’s rewind to 2023 when I got myself an iPhone and an Apple Watch. I thought I was just upgrading my tech. Cute, simple, innocent. But that was my official entry into the Apple ecosystem. And once you're in... you're in. A few months ago, Izzy got her own iPad and she was in love. She talked about it all the time how it helped her with work, how she used it to relax, how it just made everything easier.

Okay, so this was not how I expected the day to go—but it turned out to be one of the best days ever. Me and Izzy went to MOSI! (That’s the Museum of Science & Industry, for anyone who doesn’t know.) I hadn’t been since I was like 10 years old so yeah, over 17 years ago. Which is wild. I used to go all the time with my grandma, and it was one of those core childhood memories that just stuck.

Just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean I’m okay. I laugh loud. I joke around. I take silly pictures with Izzy and go on spontaneous adventures. And yes—I do have fun. I do enjoy those moments. But that doesn’t mean everything in my life is fine. There’s so much happening behind the scenes. So much I’m carrying that no one sees. And honestly?

Let me introduce you to my latest makeup obsession: the Wet n Wild Natural Finish Setting Spray Mist. I picked it up at Walmart for just $5.38—yes, you read that right—and it’s been a total game-changer in my beauty routine. 🌟 First Impressions: Affordable Magic I wasn’t expecting much from a setting spray under six bucks, but Wet n Wild really said…

Hey friends, I wish this post came with lighter news, but life’s been heavy lately. And I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I found out I wasn’t invited to my niece’s first birthday party. Not because I forgot. Not because I was busy. But because I was uninvited. And the excuse? “There wasn’t enough room.” Which would be easier to swallow if they hadn’t just moved into a…
