I absolutely have loved Bridgerton - both the tv series and the books! But while waiting for season 4 (and reminiscing on that carriage scene 😍) I have picked up a few recommendations from other Bridgerton fans

Crystals help with energy flow. I recommend you find your local crystal shop when purchasing crystals. Sometimes you need to hold it in your hand to see if that crystal is a good match with you. Every crystal is different, so holding one moonstone might feel different than holding another one.

Over the years I've purchased a great deal of jewelry making supplies from small businesses on Etsy. These are my most recommended shops for their variety, uniqueness, quality & reliability, plus some I hope to purchase from in the future

This is the freshwater fishing gear I actually take to the lake and the river, from my Ugly Stik GX2 combo, St. Croix Triumph rod, and Shimano Sedona reel to the braid, fluorocarbon, Senkos, Rapalas, and spinners I keep re-tying.

All of my ideas and the products I've been using to create more analog hobbies- everything from DIY home decor, junk journaling, etc. beginner level ideas that won't require a heavy lift, but will keep you offline when you want to be!

I'm starting to Junk Journal, and here are my essentials to START with. I'll also add the little additions I'd like eventually, but truly it's about using what you have and what you come across. It's about keeping bits of what would have otherwise been junk, and turning that into art. It doesn't have to look curated. It's a less/no waste creative outlet.

You wake up, that vivid dream is right there on the tip of your brain, and sixty seconds later it's gone forever. I lost hundreds of dreams before I finally built a bedside system that captures them. If you're someone who keeps saying ‘I had the craziest dream last night but I can’t remember it,' this lineup is what finally cracked it for me.

From scrapbooking, to puff paint shirts, all the way to summer crafts with the kids. This list is the one you need

tv shows (a lot of them are comfort shows) and movies and some descriptors of how they make me feel or specifics of why i like them. i tend to like lighthearted comedy, thrillers, psychology, paranormal, and crime tv. hopefully i've accurately included where they're currently streaming too!

I have knitted for over 20 years and have found a few key things along the way that I feel deserve a shout out. They either have an incredible price or make the craft easier and more enjoyable. I want everyone to love knitting as much as I do so if I can't make it easier to access I'm tickled!

If you have a seed problem like me! Yes I am a seed addict. You'll need somewhere to store them all and there are some really cute seed storage solutions available out there. Here's a few of my favourites.

I’ve been sewing since I was little and my dad bought me my first machine. It’s a skill I think more people should have but I know how intimidating it can be. Let’s look at a few beginner friendly tools and resources to get you started.

These are all the Oracle and Tarot Decks that I own myself! A gentle reminder that tarot is really about communicating with yourself, or deepening your intuition - you can use the decks however you like, but know that a deck doesn’t “predict the future” - it’s showing you how things are presenting in this moment, or even reflecting your own energy back at you. Everything is mutable. (At least imo) You don’t *need* these to start off your journey - there are some thrift stores that carry wonderful decks if you look for them 👀 just cleanse it with some selenite, incense or visualization beforehand to get more accurate readings for your own energy. Happy Reading! 💕

I’ve been in both professional and non-professional choirs for 19 years, but this isn’t a list of choral-adjacent songs. It’s just my taste, and honestly, it still surprises me sometimes. These tracks scratch an itch I can’t quite explain. I can listen to them over and over and still get shivers. No sacred music here, nothing Baroque or classical. They just drive me a little bit insane in the best way. Call it ear candy, call it texture, call it whatever you want. These songs hit the spot. Check them out and let me know if they hit the spot for you too.

If you’re into scrapbook, junk journaling or any type of journaling these are my favorite stationary to make this activity just a little bit more fun 💌✨

Prepare to watch new, over rated, classic and incomplete anime. Weebs Unite!

The Legend of Zelda franchise has a very special place in my heart. As a kid, I grew up watching one of my uncles play Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess everyday after school. I loved helping him find all the treasure chests and collectibles! And before you ask, my favorite character is Midna and the dance from Malo Mart in Twilight Princess is cemented in my memory bank 🙂‍↕️ Treat this list as a treasure trove of all the LoZ merch I come across in my travels. It contains all of my favorite, eye-catching pieces from a variety of brands. Take your time and peruse through; you never know what you'll find ~

Diamond paintings are a fun hobby. I find it incredibly relaxing. It is easy to try, and it doesn't require much artistry. Instead, it is more of a meditative activity, using small diamond drills to “color by number” on a prepared canvas. These are some of the basics to try out this hobby.

These are films that have stayed with me, and movies I return to not just for the stories, but for the feeling they leave behind. Each title here is a film I genuinely love, presented in its Criterion Collection edition, where the care given to restoration, supplements, and context deepens the experience. This isn’t a “best of” list, it’s a personal one.

This list has some of my favorite YouTube channels that share true crime stories, both new and old, featuring insightful commentary, intriguing cases, and a touch of humor along the way.

Bible Journaling has been all the rave over the past few years. I started when my daughter was little and I was creating her a bible with all of the verses I prayed over her. I include her VBS verse each year and any other verse that stands out when we go to church. Because of this I started adding features and turned it into a Bible Journal. Yet when I looked for supplies I should get, I was stuck. You don't have to go through that now! I have started a list with all the things you may need! Let me know if I am missing anything or you have things for me to try!

Coloring is a passion for me at 60 years young! I call it “Colorspire”. I do it to relax, refuel and empower my mind! These products fuel my coloring addiction!

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.

no fancy setup. no spending $500 on gadgets that will sit and collect dust. this is the basic stuff i grab every time i cut or remove vinyl.the tools and mats all reach the end of their lives eventually. save yourself some dollars and get the budget friendly (or straight up) cheap version.

We were stuck in the dinner-and-Netflix loop for months — same couch, same show, same silence. If you and your partner have run out of things to do together that don't involve a screen, this is everything we tried that actually got us laughing, talking, and staying up way too late again. Took us a full year of awkward craft nights and failed board games to narrow it down, so you don't have to.

Every time someone walks into my apartment, they zero in on something I made with my own hands — not the couch, not the TV, the weird little clay dish or the macramé thing on the wall. If you've been wanting to make something that actually looks intentional and not like a failed Pinterest attempt, this is the supply list that got me from ‘crafty disaster’ to ‘wait, you MADE that?’ Took me two years of trial and error so you can skip straight to the good stuff.

I love crafting and creating, and anything that pushes me to think and explore the world in a new way, and especially that pulls me away from my phone!

A curated list of practical, well-made products for people who actually listen to records, from cleaning supplies and sleeves to turntables and storage.
