a collection of films that capture the beauty, confusion, loneliness, ambition, and chaos of your 20s — from iconic comfort watches to movies that permanently alter your worldview a little.

I am a HUGE coffee girl, so I've been perfecting my at home coffee setup for years! these are all the things I use pretty much everyday! most of them can be found on amazon!

have you ever finished a movie + been like “what did I just watch?” yeah… that’s this entire list. these are the weird, confusing, slightly unsettling movies that don’t follow the usual rules. the kind that leave you thinking about them long after they end (or trying to figure them out at 2am).

books you can read in one sitting are the best kind of reads…quick, engaging, and impossible to put down. this list is full of short books and fast reads you can finish in a few hours or in a single sitting. whether you’re in a reading slump, want something easy to get through in a day, or just prefer stories that move quickly without dragging. you’ll find a mix of genres here, from emotional stories to page-turning fiction, but everything included has one thing in common: it’s a book you can realistically finish in one sitting because it’s fast-paced, short, or just extremely hard to put down once you start.

this is a list of must-watch movies i genuinely think everyone should see at least once. it’s a mix of psychological films, emotional stories, cult favorites, and just really interesting movies in general. basically movie recommendations that feel worth watching for one reason or another. these are films that stick with you, whether it’s because of the story, the emotion, or just how they make you feel while watching them.

fantasy series you’ll actually finish (and immediately want the next book in). From addictive page-turners to iconic worlds you can live in for days.

Connecticut is full of cute coffee shops! these are some of my favs!
