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.

AD • GIFTED 🎁 Recently I’ve been looking for ways AD • GIFTED 🎁 Recently I’ve been looking for ways to personalize my book collection, so I was thrilled when @mybookembosser reached out and asked if I wanted to try their custom embossers! 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. 😅

One year ago, I published YOU AGAIN and became an One year ago, I published YOU AGAIN and became an author—a day I looked forward to my whole life. I’m so proud of this collection of poetry and prose, and am so thrilled so many people have expressed how much it resonated with them. ☁️💜🪻

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).
