We are in an era where everyone and their mom has a podcast out there. I work from home and have had the opportunity to test drive a butt-load of them and share the ones I love. For reference, I am very much so a spooky, paranormal, comedy, true crime, wild stories and education kind of gal when it comes to podcasts. Let's go on a ride!

If you've dumped money into feeders only to watch squirrels demolish every last sunflower seed by 9 AM, I've been there.

This list is for anyone with a backyard who wants to stop feeding squirrels and start enjoying birds before another season slips by.
As a professional artist, trained both in illustration and fine arts, these are the supplies i use and love! I've tested them all personally. I avoid using oil paints+oil mediums due to health reasons, but these materials all allow me to create the work i love without problem. I love mixing material. so sometimes the drawing and painting sections on this list overlap, but I encourage you to experiment with mixing mediums and such to get the result you'd like. You can also experiment with mixing acrylic and oil based pigments if you so desire, but make sure you layer the oil over acrylic to avoid cracking over time. I have not been paid to use/review any of these products, but some of them have been gifted to me. Opinions are accurate to me.

I'm a romance junkie and here are all of the romcoms I've watched and what I think about them. I want to preface this by saying I'm a tough critic who looks for something very specific in romance – yearning. I need good build up and I want to be convinced the characters are in love. Let me know if you agree/disagree with any of my ratings and why :)

A mix of fresh 2026 tracks for any mood — from meme songs and playful concepts to more serious indie/pop, plus ambient and lofi tunes for relaxation, focus, or background listening. Whether you’re building out a YouTube playlist, need something chill while you work, or just want to hear something a little different, there’s variety here that keeps it interesting.
All lyrics are written by duvvra (also known as David Gabreel), a writer from New Zealand who creates content to entertain, experiment, and explore ideas through music and storytelling. Each track starts as a human-written concept — sometimes humorous, sometimes reflective — and is then brought to life using AI-powered production tools.
The result is a mix of creativity and accessibility: songs that feel personal, but are quick to produce and easy to share. Some tracks are light and meme-driven, others lean into more genuine emotion or atmosphere, and the lofi/ambient pieces are there for when you just want to switch off or focus.
If you’re open to new sounds, different ideas, and a blend of human creativity with modern tools, this is an easy way to discover something new and add it to your rotation.

I am someone who gets a lot of joy from the art of intentional gift-giving. In fact, I keep a year-round list of gift ideas for each person in my close circle for every occasion and am known to start on next year’s Christmas presents before this year’s holiday has even passed. Seriously. I love it. Whether it's a handmade annotating kit for my favorite readers, something practical for a new mom, a thoughtful keepsake, or one of those "I never would've thought of that!" finds, I genuinely enjoy matching gifts to the people I love. This collection is full of gift ideas I'd happily give (and have given!)—carefully curated finds for birthdays, Christmas, baby showers, housewarmings, and all the little moments worth celebrating. I hope it helps you find something that makes someone feel truly seen 🎁

Staring at another generic Target shelf wondering why your apartment looks like everyone else's? Yeah, that was me for years — buying the same mass-produced wall art and candles as literally every other person on my block.

Crocheting is a great way to escape life's craziness and escape into a world of counting rows and stitches, losing counting, starting over, losing count again and eventually you end up with a beautiful project.
I've worked with over 20 different art mediums and over a hundred of different kinds of products, and usually they all started with a beginner kit of some kind.

One of the coziest things to do is give yourself a break. We don't realize how much screens dominate our daily lives sometimes. Being able to unplug helps us reset the best. Of course, these are only some non-screen items that help us reset. I also recommend reading, cooking, dancing, drawing, writing, or going outside to do anything as a great brain break. Give it a try.
I've been making candles for a really long time (trust me when I say a long time.😜My candle making hobby became really serious when I took the time to learn what was in most candles and wanted something that was cleaner to burn and also I knew was safe. There are a lot of aspects of making candles, there is more science than most people realize. I am pretty obsessed with candle making and there aren't too many days that I am not making at least one.

Some of these are great for larger groups, some are for individual or smaller groups.
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.

Spent years hauling separate brushes, patches, and solvents for different firearms to the range. Half the time I forgot something and ended up borrowing from the guy next to me. If you own more than one caliber and you're tired of digging through a junk drawer of loose rods and dirty patches, this is everything I actually keep in my range bag now. Grabbed most of these before hunting season and wish I had done it sooner.
As an introvert, and someone who is the most comfortable when I'm at home, I have accumulated a lot of hobbies.

Some of my favourite colouring books, games, puzzles, and more. I hope you find something you love!! 🫶🏻✨
