I Be That Very Witch

Hi friendship! Good to see you again! After my last post, I thought it might be fun to share things I've discovered in quarantine, and elaborate a little more on a few of the topics I'd mentioned.  Some are tangible things, other are just little gifts of magic I've found to share.  Maybe there's something in here that will help someone during this time. I'm going to address these in no particular order; I've made a list for myself, and I'm following that. Now, without further ado, here is my list of treasures 'discovered' during quarantine. Skin!  Ahhh...our largest organ; no matter what that creep on Snapchat says about his dick. I was introduced to The Ordinary a very short time before the quarantine started.  I was immediately drawn to it's simple labels/packaging, it's direct marketing, and it's remarkably low price point.  I ordered their "Daily Set" , and a bottle of their Niacinimide and Zinc serum.  I...

Hi Folks! Dear Mary...so sad. It's been a while.  I recognize this this, and I thank you for being patient with my writer's block. Being at home has been impacting my ability to brain - at least, I definitely felt that I was getting dumber in the first few weeks at home. The last week and a bit have been better.  I've sprouted some energy, and I've managed to get myself *mostly* organized, and I think I've established a routine for myself in Quarentimes. I could sit here and ramble on about how devastated I've been at the feeling that my body is (not so) slowly recomposing to sludge.  Or how every day just melts into the next.  Or how I miss the gym.  Because, sure.  All those things are very real for me, and for many others.  And I miss the gym more than anything. That being said, I want to share how I've been...making adjustments...in order to go with the flow. Maybe this helps someone.  Maybe it doesn't.  Either way, I would lov...

Juuust kidding.  I'm not Typhoid Mary. I did, however, listen to 2 podcast episodes about her.  Fascinating story, pretty sad. It's been just a minute, hasn't it? What?  We've been home for a month?  Time sure flies when you're quarantining. So, updates.  Hmmm.  Well, that whole "watch me own 2020 with these resolutions" has basically been binned; though I have managed to restructure the list a little bit. So, instead of going on about how things are, being at home, whining about how "hard this is", I'm going to be self indulgent (my blog, my rules), and describe how my original 2020 resolution list has...evolved. Let's revisit the original list, m'kay? - I will wear a crop top.  I have! - I will work out in a sports bra and leggings.  At the gym.  And by "gym", I mean home workouts.  Yes, I did. - I will learn to bead, and I will learn to make Moccasins and Mukluks.  Maybe I'll make some earrings - Done!...
