My Aesthetic

In general terms, I’d probably describe my aesthetic as vintage bohemian. If I were being specific, I’d probably describe my aesthetic as colorful blooms, songbirds and birdcages, elegant patterns, black and white prints, stardust and rainbows, fairies, classic film, and fringe. I’ve always been attracted to an unorthodox mix of vivid hues and nostalgic designs….

Blog Challenge Update (March)

Oh, man. I am exhausted. February was a rough one. I managed to make it through, but obtaining inspiration was definitely a problem last month. Instead of planning ahead, choosing topics beforehand, I decided to write about whatever themes were calling out to me that day. On the plus side, this allowed me to blog…

A Writer’s Best Friend

A writer’s best friend is her thesaurus. She never goes anywhere without it. She needs it too much. She clings to it. The pages are torn and bent, but she’s constantly flipping the sheets of tattered paper, searching. She’s always searching for the right words. She’s always trying to build the perfect phrase. The writer…

Hair

What’s the deal with haircuts? Yes, this question may sound like a Jerry Seinfeld bit from the late eighties, but that seems like the best way to phrase it. Going to the salon is a weird experience, right? We act like it’s just as uncomfortable as going to the dentist, but when we get in…

One Short Day

If I could spend one day with any fictional character . . . As I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, I noticed I wasn’t alone and I definitely wasn’t in my small, sparse bedroom. Too much sun filtered in through the towering windows and there was a thick grove of sage-green trees outside them….

One Minute to Midnight

What do you do when you’re lost and you’re stuck staring at a blank page? How do you find inspiration? What do you do when there’s one minute to midnight and you have nothing left to give? Do you admit defeat? Or do you sing Hunger at the top of your lungs? Do you stall,…

Think Lovely Thoughts

I’ve been trying to take better care of my mental health lately. After years of suffering from depression and anxiety, I’ve finally had enough. Of course, some days are better than others; every day is different. I can’t control what happens, but I can control how I react to it. Easing my anxiety with breathing…

Gone

I’ve been having trouble expressing my thoughts today. I seem to have misplaced my words and all my ideas have gone missing. I’ve been working on a post that I’m really excited about, but it’s just not working. Everything’s all muddled and misshapen, nothing is clear. I get frustrated, because I know what I want…

Kim the FanGirl’s 2020 Oscar Bingo

The Oscars are a huge deal in my family, they always have been. We love the glitz and the glamour so much we prepare for the event weeks in advance. We all take the day off work, we plan an elaborate menu, and cleverly make our picks for the big night. Looking at popular preview…
