A smattering of things I use for my small business that you make like too!

Now that I’m going back to work part time and have a strict dress code I need to find things that don’t make me look 1000 years old.

Ever since I was little I loved creating “spells” from things I found out in my backyard. So it made sense when I finally got over the idea that witches and spells were bad. I’ve been into the metaphysical almost as long as crafting spells. I started reading tarot at 16 but it wasn’t until my 40s that I realized I truly did fell under a witch. Here are some of my favorite books, tools, miscellaneous things you may want to check out.

Listen I’m not your typical paranormal fan. I don’t believe in demons, or that ouija board invite in spirits. I don’t think Bigfoot is a flesh & blood creature. I don’t think you should yell at ghosts. And I know dybbuk boxes are fake and made with ramen & glade candles … no really it was! So if you’re open to hearing new thoughts and theories this is your list! These are some of my most trusted paranormal folks who won’t BS you. These are in no particular order other than how they popped in my head. Have a podcast you love? Share it with me!

What’s sitting in my pantry right now that I may or may not have a recipe to go with it.

These are some of my favorite old school spooky movies. A lot are considered classics some definitely aren’t even Halloween movies per se.

These are the meals I’m obsessed with right now!! First is the recipe and then I have my favorite brands below it. Hope you find a recipe you love as much as I do.

Halloween is my favorite “holiday” it’s more like my every day style. Much to my mom’s dismay 40 years later. Consider this more inspo than anything else

What I bought my 15 son &18 year old daughter for back to school. This is the first time in 8 years that I’ve had to buy back to school clothes. We homeschooled so there was no rush to get what they needed as we worked on our own schedule. Excited for them to head back and start new adventures.

I’m a small creator with a niche market so building and sharing can be hard for me. I’ve been sent a few items from incredible brands & I NEED you to see them!

As an English major in the early 2000s I read some really awesome books that I think are mostly forgotten about. So come along on my journey of trying to remember incredible art.

I thought it would be fun to create a list based off of the items other people have purchased based on my recommendations. Maybe you’ll find something to love!

I go in phases of what I like and stick with it until I get burnt out. Right now I need new home decor which is what made me start this list. I hope you’ll find something unique for you

My favorite places in DC as tourist who’s visited 5x in the last 3 years. I took many of the pictures in this list.

As a professional tarot reader of 30 years these are the decks I use in my readings. These are my favorite tarot & oracle decks as well as decks I need to have!

Although it’s mostly 2000s vinyls which are practically vintage 😭 You should check them out if you haven’t. Nothing will ever sound better than a vinyl imo.

Weird content at its best! I like smart people who make fun, smart or intriguing content. I also like mystery type stuff.

There’s just something so fun about Jersey! This Massachusetts girl drives to Jersey way too often at least 3x a year. This year we went for a week to hang out with concert friends and see my Chemical Romance play a hometown show at MetLife Stadium.

My small list of awesome witchy/pagan books I’ve read over the years. Maybe you’ll love them as much as I have.

These are some of my favorite places that I mostly feel like are hidden gems.

I’m not your typical 40 something. I don’t follow many if any trends. I find what I like, use what I love, and promote my the stars. Don’t look to me to be on point with what’s popping in the industry

If you’ve seen any of my other lists you’ll know I’m not following trends. However, I take care of my skin it’s one of my few splurges. Sephora has some of the best quality beauty products, these are my top pics.

I’m in my late 40s and I really struggle to find clothes I like. Let’s not even talk about if I can afford it or it fits my short plus properly. So here are a few macys items that work for me.

A few of my favorite places and things to do on the South Shore in Massachusetts

I lean towards using clean ingredient products whenever I can. Truth be told I’m not going to use a clean product if it’s crap. These are the ones I personally use & love.

If you love ghost stories, haunted places, haunted objects, high strangeness, Bigfoot or have an interest in the paranormal this list is for you.

New England has so many cool places to hit to learn about history. These are a few that kept my kids interested throughout the years.
