I always get myself a new planner every December, and this is the second year in a row I’ve ordered a @passionplanner and I am so happy I did.

Not an ad, but truly, it’s my favorite. The layouts, the formatting, the freedom. It’s my dream planner.

And I bought the book stickers (let me know if you want to see those) and erasable pens because duh.

What’s your favorite planner? Or are you a phone calendar only kinda person?

Merry Christmas pals 🥰🫶🏻

I’m heading out on a trip for a bit so you’re gonna get a bunch of scheduled content starting tomorrow, but I’ll be offline until the 31st (outside of when I’m on the plane), and I can’t wait to see you when I get back.

And no the content isn’t “filler” or drafts, it’s all new and all for you 😘

See you soon, I love you 🫶🏻

Any pretty books under your tree this year? Or have you already opened everything like the gremlin I am? 😂

I love special edition books more than I should, and I frequently order multiples of the same series, but don’t they just look so good??? 🥰

Whats your all time favorite collectors or special edition book? I need more 😂

These books by @thealiciacook are two I reach for when I hear a friend loves poetry, or likes it, or read a poem once.

(The first one only own digitally)

And to give a little backstory to this, I’m a huge believer in writing in your books. Notes, thoughts, smiley faces. I just do it. And I also loan my books out.

But the last time I loaned them out, my friend wrote back. Not in the book itself, but on sticky notes throughout. Some were responses, others their thoughts on their own poems, but it was one of the coolest things and now I want to share more books with more pals to write in to each other.

Anyway, I love these books. Go buy them.

Alright pals, it’s time. I know it’s not in the ph

Alright pals, it’s time. I know it’s not in the photos, but the toe is done, finished on stream last night, and now it’s heel time.

Which means I have to cut my yarn…

I’m feeling so silly for being nervous, it’s just yarn, but it’s my hours of work I don’t want to mess up.

Anyway, wish me luck please!

Sometimes you just have to give your favorites the prime spot on your new bookshelf.

You all know my love for B&B and I won’t stop now so let’s jump into it.

Start with Butcher, read through the trilogy, then hop right to Tourist Season.

Want F1? Amanda. Hands down.

Dark academia? Autumnnnnn for sure has you covered.

And masked men that make me feral? Navessa comes in clutch there.

I love @zandoprojects / @slowburn.reads and their authors and I’m so excited for 2026💋 🫶🏻

What’s your favorite book of 2025?

BAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Bailey Seaborn, what have you DO

BAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Bailey Seaborn, what have you DONE to me?!

Let’s start with Connor, because I have loved this man since day one. Absolute cinnamon roll behavior. Makes spreadsheets like it’s a personality trait (and also literally his job). Has a plan. Has a backup plan. Has a color-coded contingency plan. A dream.

And then there’s Hannah. A little messy, extremely real, and the perfect hot pink pen next to his flawlessly written lists. She says exactly what she’s thinking, makes a killer drink, and may or may not have single-handedly toppled an entire empire my exposing their fraud. Casual. Iconic.

Yes, this is a novella, but don’t let that fool you. It reads like a full-length book with how smoothly Bailey weaves this story together. Zero wasted moments. All vibes. All feelings.

Do yourself a favor: read Peppermint Bark, read All Twerk, and then immediately grab this one. Trust me. You will not regret it ❤️

And thank you @baileyseabornauthor for letting me arc read for you and also understanding for my post being behind 😂🫶🏻🥰

There’s something special about ordering from smal

There’s something special about ordering from small businesses and knowing I’m supporting not only a small business, but friends 🥰

My friend @stitched_crafts made this needle minder and yarn bowl and I am blown away. 🐉🧶

The cross stitch pattern is by my bestie @sleepinglunadesigns . 💅🏳️‍🌈

And that custom(!) hook is by @loopsandbee 😘

My friends are so talented 🫶🏻
