Filled out the rest of Oct after filming this but sooo looking forward to new games coming out in Nov and Dec 🥰 It’s definitely going to be a cozy gaming winter.

An early Christmas gift to myself. 😇 I’ve had the An early Christmas gift to myself. 😇 I’ve had the iPad Air (5th Gen) for a while now but I’ve been craving something smaller, thinner, and more portable to fit along with my notebook family. So the new iPad mini was a must! 

My iPad is particularly what I use to handwrite and doodle on all my photos, and now the smaller size is seriously PERFECT for my system. It feels so much cozier, just like my journals (it’s the same size as my B6 bullet journal!)

(tbh what I’m REALLY looking forward to is playing a new game on it when that comes out in December. 🤫 Especially with this new OLED screen!)

Also — I’m not *in love* with this case, but I didn’t like any of the other options I found. So if anyone has any recs, please lmk! I love that the case is magnetic and textured with a bit of grip, but the color is lackluster. I’d love something cuter, maybe for Christmas! (If Santa’s reading 😇)

What do you think of the new iPad mini?? I’m obsessed already.

They’re so fun, easy to use, and personal—the perfect gift for any reader in your life (especially if that reader is you) 📚

If you could make your own embosser or stamp, which design would you choose?? I’m a sucker for initials. 😅

Recently, I started a series on my blog called AFTERWORDS where I choose poems from YOU AGAIN and share where they came from, what inspired them, and what they mean to me now. If you’d like to learn more about the poems and their origins, check it out on my blog (link you-know-where).

Every year I look forward to visiting my bf’s hometown and seeing the fall trees do their thing. Gorgeous every time. 🍁🍂
