These are items that I do not actually have, therefor this is not a recommendation list but more of a “wish list”. These are random items that I would totally buy if my funds were unlimited. I absolutely love finding products that are SO CUTE or SO RANDOM but USEFUL and these are ones that I have stumbled upon. I think this is why I love to go to Japan because they are top tier at random items you did not know you needed. I hope to continue to grow this list because nothing excites me more than random things that I do not really need but really want. Please comment on my list if you have a product I should add! The weirder and more random, the better. LET THEM BE WEIRD.

Let's discover more about the stars, planets and more! Back in fourth grade, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit a planetarium with my friends and I instantly fell in love with the branch of science known as astronomy. We got to watch a movie about stars who were in love but forbidden from seeing each other in a movie dome and got to eat moon and star shaped cookies as we were taught all about our solar system and beyond. I became obsessed with this study and thus my years of learning about space began. I really had fun making this list (very simplified and comprehensive) as it's something I'm in love with and have recommended a few items to help if you'd love to start your space adventure too.

Welcome to my little corner of inspiration! I started this list to share the creative hobbies that have completely transformed my everyday life—especially coloring book design and digital product creation. ✨

Let’s create, explore, and maybe even earn a little while doing what we love. 🎉

Cross-stitching is one of my favorite hobbies. Counted cross stitch is a fun and easy craft to learn, and finished cross-stitch pieces make thoughtful gifts to friends and family. Cross stitching is kind of embroidery's simpler needlepoint cousin (although both crafts have their fans). I love that I can pick up my hoop and needle and make progress on a piece with even the smallest amount of down time. (Note: Some of the links in this list are affiliate links, which means that if you purchase through my link, I'll receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. I only recommend things that I actually love.)

This list covers decades of great music on vinyl—from '60s and '70s legends like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to '90s favorites like Matchbox Twenty and Third Eye Blind, all the way to today's artists like Billie Eilish. It's a mix of rock, pop, soul, and everything in between. There's also info on the history of vinyl, why it's worth choosing, and tips on collecting. With vinyl making a big comeback, the whole "what's old is new again" saying has never felt more true. Some classics just never fade—and may sound even better than before.

I have been a K-pop stan for 10+ years now and have attended over 10 K-pop concerts within the past year (I-dle, Taemin, J-hope, Jin, etc.). After attending multiple K-pop concerts, there are essentials that I make sure to bring in my bag before I leave the house. I've gathered a few tips and tricks for surviving a K-pop concert and making the best out of your concert experience! The most important thing is to bring a bag to the concert, so you have a place to hold your freebies and merch. I highly recommend remembering to bring a battery pack, just in case your phone dies in the middle of a concert. Also, remember to take care of yourself and others at the concert, so we can continue making K-pop concerts a safe, inclusive space for everyone! ❤️

Here is a sampling of what is currently in my Etsy favorites list. This is a mix of digital charts you would then paint onto canvas yourself and hand-painted canvas options. So really a nice range of price points since needlepoint can be such an expensive hobby. I like to do a mix of projects I paint myself and canvases I pick up on Etsy or at a local needlepoint store(LNS). I've purchased some of these but the rest are on my never-ending future project list!

A collection of things that sometimes serve a purpose- and sometimes serve no real purpose other than joy. Sometimes impractical, eccentric, and a little excessive, but that’s exactly the point. Each item is a reminder that not everything has to be necessary to be worth having. Sometimes the pull of the strange, shiny, or delightfully absurd is reason enough. This list celebrates impulse, curiosity, and the thrill of owning what you don’t need but absolutely wanted.
My personal opinion, girls/women are easy to shop for. Candles, make up, lotions, perfumes, or clothes and we’re good. Men on the other hand…. When you ask, they say nothing but you have to get them something. These are great options outside of the yearly pack of socks they always get. Helpful and sentimental items they will love!
This is a list of shows and movies that I can and do rewatch over and over. I enjoy the nostalgia of rewatching them. Sometimes the show brings me back to the feelings I was feeling when I first watched the show. It just brings me comfort when sometimes I feel like my life is changing to fast.
Some of my greatest childhood memories were simple activities with my family. I hope more families seek time together than more time staring at a screen

These are some of my favorite TV shows I recommend you watch if you are someone who binges Tv like me. Most of these shows are complete series and long ones too. I love when I can start a show and know it will come to a complete end. How many times have you started a series and it just stops after season 1, 2 , or 5!!!! Then you are googling to see what happened. “Did the show get canceled?” “Are they coming out the the next season?” “Why does Netflix only have seasons 1-3 and not the whole series?”!!!!! Here you will be at ease because these shows are complete, all the seasons are on one platform, and they are absolutely amazing shows.
