Get to Know Me: Camp Exchange Edition

The bachelorette itself was camp themed, and one of the activities was a swap party. I ended up making a goody bag of my favorite things. I was surprised to find that I wasn’t the only one who had this idea, but I shouldn’t have been because of course my favorite people would have other…

My May 2026 R.E.P.O.R.T.

Some of you might have been around when I joined TikTok and wrote up a R.E.P.O.R.T. since it was a TikTok trend (which I realize as I include these links that they were done on two different websites, so maybe this R.E.P.O.R.T. will be more exciting content for you).

6 Things to Love About DuckTales

5 Things I’m Giving Away on Instagram for Memorial Day

After looking at this blog title, I have realized that giving away 5 things instead of 6 is pretty off-brand for me. The truth is that I was so excited about this giveaway that I wasn’t really thinking about the numbers, and I will have to remember that in the future.

What made me decide to continue on with this idea is that Ben Soffer, Celebrity went on The Toast on Friday and renewed my feelings against Starbucks. This motivated me to continue on my train of…
