Today is meal prep day for my elderly mother-in-law, but I am looking forward to our dinner of roasted chicken and veggies with homemade mashed potatoes.

This is my second time ordering something from Heretic Parfum, and I love the care they put into their packaging. 🖤 This is the Haunted Tea Cosy room spray from their Edward Gorey holiday collection.

The concert last night was amazing, and it was nice to see most people living in the moment singing instead of on their phones for the entire set. Bonus, I also survived the thick haze of weed in the arena.

Going see Acid Bath and Mastodon play tonight. This is my first concert in a long time, and I’m super excited to hear some live music again.

I'm thinking about making a list of my favorite small shops for this holiday season in case anyone would be interested.

Also, there are two smelly things I will be ordering soon.
Boy Smells has their yearly release for my fave limited edition holiday candle, Broken Rosary. (and a 25% off sale today)
Heretic Perfume released some Edward Gorey inspired room sprays and I want to try the Haunted Tea Cosy one.

My husband and I watched Frankenstein last night, and we were talking about it all morning over coffee. The visuals, costumes, and music were all so beautifully done.

Set up a small altar for All Souls Day. I have a beautiful candle from Mithras Candle that my deity guided me toward earlier this year, and it's the perfect time to use it.

Trick-or-treating is over, and it was much better this year since it was actually cool and clear. We still bought too much candy, but it was fun giving large handfuls to the kids. We also got each a bonus Jell-o shot from a gracious neighbor and my outfit was cute.

We are in full Halloween mode over here! 🎃 Here is one little spooky setup in my kitchen. I always love bringing out my Emerald Witch doll to be a part of the festivities.

I never tried Mooncat polishes before, but since they are having a sale I decided to order two: A Doll's House and Memento Mori.

Yesterday there was a 100 acre fire close to where I live, and you can definitely smell smoke lingering in the air today.

The joy I got out of seeing Emma Roberts getting her dolly clothes dry cleaned. ❤️ For those who care, the doll is a vintage Kamar Mona doll.

My local record store had an event for the Peanuts 75th anniversary this past Sunday. I picked up a Christmas vinyl to listen to during the holidays, and I got some other goodies and candy they were giving away. #Peanuts75

My dad would wake me up before school and have breakfast ready for me & coffee ready for mom.
When our magnolias were blooming, he'd pick and leave some in my room so when I came home it smelled like flowers.
Up until he was too sick to do so, he made sure I always had a gift for Valentine's Day.

I rolled the (first) credits on Silent Hill f last night. I really wasn't vibing with the game at the beginning, BUT after the school level, I was all in! I'm not a fan of having to play NG+ to fully flesh out the story, but I do plan on playing a bit because I'm invested. #SilentHillf

Killed my lower back over the last two days from elderly meal prepping and light caretaking, so I'm definitely using my weekend to recover.
