🍁 New Things to Try This Fall (Because Pumpkin Spice Isn’t the Only Fun on the Menu) 🎃

Leave a comment

Ah, fall. The season of crunchy leaves, oversized scarves, and just the right excuse to cancel plans and binge cozy movies. But before you settle into the same ol’ sweater-weather routine, why not shake things up a little? Here’s a list of fun, creative, and just slightly weird new things to try this autumn.

🍂 1. Host a Mystery Movie Night

Think book club, but for spooky or weirdly cozy movies. Let your guests pick one mystery movie each (no spoilers allowed), put the titles in a hat, and watch whatever fate decides. Bonus points for themed snacks and a campy rating system at the end.

🧣 2. Learn a “Grandma Skill”

Fall just feels like the time to learn how to knit, crochet, or bake a pie from scratch (no judgment if the crust comes from Trader Joe’s). Pick one old-school skill and dive in—bonus if it’s something you can gift people for the holidays.

🥾 3. Leaf-Peeping, But Make It a Challenge

Yes, leaf-peeping is a thing—and this year, turn it into a photo scavenger hunt. Make a list: red maple leaf, heart-shaped leaf, squirrel mid-snack, weird mushroom. Compete with friends or just go solo and turn it into an Instagram story extravaganza.

🍷 4. Try a “Fall Flight” Tasting at Home

Craft your own tasting experience—apple ciders, fall beers, pumpkin chai lattes, or even funky hot chocolates (peppermint? cayenne? marshmallow overload?). Set up a little sampler flight and taste test with friends or your favorite cozy playlist.

🔮 5. Go Full Witchy for a Day

Whether or not you believe in crystals or tarot cards, fall is peak vibe season. Light some candles, draw a tarot spread, try a DIY spell jar, or just journal in a forest and feel mysterious. No real magic required (unless you’re into it).

🎃 6. DIY Your Own Halloween Costume—No Matter Your Age

Forget Amazon costumes—get scrappy. Whether you’re dressing up for a party or just want to vibe at home in costume while watching Hocus Pocus, there’s something ridiculously fun about creating a costume from thrift store finds and glue guns.

📚 7. Start a “Read One Classic” Challenge

You don’t have to read Wuthering Heights, but you could! Choose one classic you’ve always pretended to have read and actually give it a go this fall. Or pick something dark and atmospheric—Gothic novels and rainy days are a match made in heaven.

🌰 8. Go Foraging (Responsibly!)

Mushrooms, chestnuts, or just really cool pinecones—fall is full of weird little treasures. Grab a local foraging guide or join a group and learn what you can (and can’t) collect. Nature is wild and sometimes edible.

🧵 9. Start a Fall Journal or Scrapbook

Turn those crisp afternoons into pages of thoughts, photos, leaves, or ridiculous pumpkin-flavored receipts. Whether you journal like a poet or just stick leaves into a notebook and call it art—it counts.

☕ 10. Try a New Hot Drink Every Week

Because let’s be real: we all default to the same latte or tea. Challenge yourself to try something new every week—London fogs, dirty chai, horchata latte, mulled cider… Fall is your playground, and your mug deserves better.

Whatever your version of “fall fun” is, don’t be afraid to mix in something new with your tried-and-true traditions. Try weird stuff. Wear the fuzzy socks. Eat the cinnamon-covered everything.

🍁 Your cozy era just got an upgrade.

The icon. The legend. The PSL. Love it or roll your eyes at it, there’s no denying it tastes like autumn in a cup. Bonus points if it comes topped with cinnamon and Instagram potential.

If fall had a secret flavor affair, it would be with maple. Swap out the pumpkin for maple syrup and a pinch of nutmeg, and you’ve got a hug in a cup.

Book Review: King Sorrow by Joe Hill

Leave a comment



A group of friends must confront the ancient dragon they summoned—and the darkness it awakens in themselves.

PLOT SUMMARY:

Arthur Oakes is a reader, a dreamer, and a student at Rackham College, Maine, renowned for its frosty winters, exceptional library, and beautiful buildings. But his idyll—and burgeoning romance with Gwen Underfoot—is shattered when a local drug dealer and her partner corner him into one of the worst crimes he can imagine: stealing rare books from the college library.

Trapped and desperate, Arthur turns to his closest friends for comfort and help. Together they dream up a wild, fantastical scheme to free Arthur from the cruel trap in which he finds himself. Wealthy, irrepressible Colin Wren suggests using the unnerving Crane journal (bound in the skin of its author) to summon a dragon to do their bidding. The others—brave, beautiful Alison Shiner; the battling twins Donna and Donovan McBride; and brainy, bold Gwen—don’t hesitate to join Colin in an effort to smash reality and bring a creature of the impossible into our world.

But there’s nothing simple about dealing with dragons, and their pact to save Arthur becomes a terrifying bargain in which the six must choose a new sacrifice for King Sorrow every year—or become his next meal.

GRADE: A

REVIEW:

I’ve loved all of Joe Hill’s previous books, and King Sorrow was no exception. Part fantasy and part horror, the story follows a group of college students who accidentally summon a dragon using an ancient text. At first, they use the dragon to eliminate someone who was tormenting the protagonist, Arthur. But things quickly spiral out of control when they realize the dragon—known as King Sorrow—demands a yearly sacrifice to remain satisfied. As the pressure mounts, the group of friends begins to fracture. How do you get rid of an ancient dragon once it’s been unleashed?

Joe Hill’s King Sorrow is a gripping, imaginative tale that blends horror, fantasy, and emotional depth with signature Hill flair. At its core, this novel isn’t just about an ancient, malevolent dragon awakening from centuries of slumber—it’s about the enduring strength of friendship in the face of overwhelming darkness.

Hill masterfully crafts a world where sorrow itself becomes a living force, embodied in a terrifying, ancient dragon that feeds on despair. But it’s the unlikely bond between the central characters—a band of flawed but fiercely loyal friends—that gives the story its beating heart. Their journey to confront the beast becomes as much a fight against personal demons as it is against the fire-breathing horror that threatens to devour everything.

King Sorrow explores how connection and loyalty can be a light in the darkest places. The characters don’t just try to slay the dragon; they struggle to carry one another through grief, guilt, and fear. It’s this emotional weight, balanced with Hill’s tight pacing and chilling prose, that makes the book unforgettable.

A story of terror, yes—but also a story of hope, sacrifice, and the power of standing together.

Perfect for a casual afternoon adventure—and even better when you turn your haul into a pie later.

8. Do a Fall-Themed Puzzle or Board Game

When the temps drop, cozy up indoors with a steaming mug and a puzzle full of autumn scenes (bonus points if there’s a cat and pumpkins involved).

9. Make a Fall Playlist & Take a Drive

Curate your ideal fall soundtrack (think: Fleetwood Mac, Bon Iver, maybe a little Taylor Swift) and take a scenic drive through country roads.

10. Decorate Your Space

String up fairy lights, add a plaid throw or two, and bring in mini pumpkins and candles. Instant fall vibes.

Whether you’re outdoorsy, artsy, or just in it for the snacks, fall afternoons have something for everyone. So take a breath, grab a scarf, and enjoy the season while it lasts. 🍂✨

Book Review: We Fell Apart by E. Lockhart

Leave a comment

They were always liars.

PLOT SUMMARY:

The invitation arrives out of the blue.

In it, Matilda discovers a father she’s never met. Kingsley Cello is a visionary, a reclusive artist. And when he asks her to spend the summer at his seaside home, Hidden Beach, Matilda expects to find a part of herself she’s never fully understood.

Instead, she finds Meer, her long-lost, openhearted brother; Brock, a former child star battling demons; and brooding, wild Tatum, who just wants her to leave their crumbling sanctuary.

With Kingsley nowhere to be seen, Matilda must delve into the twisted heart of Hidden Beach to uncover the answers she’s desperately craving. But secrets run thicker than blood, and blood runs like seawater.

And everyone here is lying.

GRADE: A-

REVIEW:

I adored E. Lockhart’s We Were Liars and Family of Liars, so I dove into We Fell Apart with high expectations. And while the mystery definitely kept me intrigued, the overall experience didn’t quite hit the same highs—mostly because I just couldn’t connect with the main character, Matilda.

The premise is promising: Matilda leaves sunny California to spend part of her summer vacation at a mysterious castle in Hidden Beach, finally hoping to meet her elusive painter father, Kingsley. But when she arrives? No Kingsley. Just a crumbling castle full of secrets.

While the setup had me curious, Matilda as a protagonist fell flat for me. Her sudden romance with one of the boys felt way too rushed and kind of came out of nowhere. That said, I did really enjoy her dynamic with her half-brother, Meer—he’s a total scene-stealer, and I found myself looking forward to every moment he was on the page.

One of the coolest things about We Fell Apart is its unexpected connection to the Sinclair family from the previous books. I won’t spoil how, but it’s subtle, smart, and gives longtime fans something to chew on by the end.

If you’re already invested in the world of We Were Liars, this book is definitely worth the read. You can read it as a standalone (Lockhart gives you just enough context), but the experience is richer if you’ve read the previous books.

Not my favorite in the series, but still worth picking up for the atmospheric mystery and those trademark Lockhart twists.

💄✨ Fall Beauty Trends to Try If You’re Feeling Bold, Moody, or Just a Little Extra 🍂

Leave a comment

Summer was cute, but fall? Fall is when beauty gets interesting. It’s the season of vampy lips, cozy skincare, and enough shimmer to make your pumpkin spice glow. If you’re ready to refresh your makeup bag (or at least your vibe), here are the fall 2025 beauty trends worth trying—whether you’re going full-glam or just experimenting on a sleepy Sunday.

🍇 1. The “Wine-Stained” Lip

Not quite a bold lipstick, not quite bare—this trend is all about that just-sipped-red-wine look. Blurred, berry-toned lips are in, and they’re shockingly easy to recreate. Just tap on a rich plum or burgundy lip with your finger and let it smudge a little. No lip liner. No pressure.

💋 Try: Glossier Ultralip in “Ember” or Fenty Slip Shine in “Cookies & Cocoa”

✨ 2. Goth Girl Shimmer

We’re calling it: spooky sparkle is having a moment. Think glittery black eyeliner, shimmer-smudged shadow in moody hues like midnight blue or forest green, and highlighter that looks like moonlight. This trend says, “I’m mysterious and glowing.”

🖤 Try: Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in “Zodiac” or NYX Glitter Goals Liquid Eyeliner

🌾 3. Flushed, Windswept Blush

Forget contour—fall 2025 is all about cheeks that look like you just came in from an autumn hike. Blush is being applied higher on the cheekbones, even brushed across the nose bridge for that chilly-weather flush. Bonus: It makes you look instantly awake.

🍁 Try: Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Blush in “Love” or Saie Dew Blush in “Spicy”

🔮 4. Cozy-Goth Nails

If you’re over glazed donut nails (RIP), this fall’s trend is all about deep, dramatic tones with a cozy twist. Think matte olive, velvety chocolate brown, or inky purples with a hint of shimmer. Also trending? Subtle chrome details and micro-French tips in unexpected colors like copper or charcoal.

💅 Try: Olive & June in “HJ” or Lights Lacquer in “Mystery”

🧖 5. Skin Barrier = The Main Character

The “no-makeup-makeup” look is evolving into the “my-skin-is-thriving” look. Skin barrier repair is the skincare flex of the season—so layer up your ceramides, slug (if you dare), and embrace the glow that only comes from treating your face like royalty.

💧 Try: KraveBeauty Great Barrier Relief or Naturium Multi-Peptide Moisturizer

🍂 6. Scent as a Mood Ring

This fall, perfume isn’t just a finishing touch—it’s a whole aesthetic. Earthy, spicy scents like cardamom, smoky vanilla, and oud are everywhere. Wear something that makes people stop and say, “Wait, what is that??” (in the good way).

🌬️ Try: Ellis Brooklyn “Après” or Byredo “Eyes Closed”

🧡 7. Bold Brows, Soft Everything Else

Big, brushed-up brows are still here, but now they’re paired with softer eyes, creamier lips, and luminous skin. Let your brows do the talking while the rest of your makeup whispers, “I woke up like this… on purpose.”

🪄 Try: Kosas Air Brow + Westman Atelier Lit Up Stick in “Brûlée”

Final Thought:

Fall is basically the New Year of beauty—you’re changing moods, changing wardrobes, so why not change up your look? Whether you’re into the barely-there berry lip or going full cozy-glam goth, this season is all about playing.

🍁 So go ahead—buy the weird eye gloss. Try the burgundy nail. Light a cinnamon candle, throw on a hoodie, and experiment. Fall beauty is about vibes, not perfection.

Book Review: Blood On Her Tongue by Johanna Van Veen

Leave a comment

Hunger has a way of making one go mad.

PLOT SUMMARY:

The Netherlands, 1887. Lucy’s twin sister Sarah is unwell. She refuses to eat, mumbles nonsensically, and is increasingly obsessed with a centuries-old corpse recently discovered on her husband’s grand estate. The doctor has diagnosed her with temporary insanity caused by a fever of the brain. To protect her twin from a terrible fate in a lunatic asylum, Lucy must unravel the mystery surrounding her sister’s condition, but it’s clear her twin is hiding something. Then again, Lucy is harboring secrets of her own, too.

Then, the worst happens. Sarah’s behavior takes a turn for the strange. She becomes angry… and hungry.

Lucy soon comes to suspect that something is trying to possess her beloved sister. Or is it madness? As Sarah changes before her very eyes, Lucy must reckon with the dark, monstrous truth, or risk losing her forever.

GRADE: A+

REVIEW:

I really enjoyed Johanna Van Veen’s debut, My Darling Dreadful Thing, but Blood on Her Tongue? It completely blew me away. This is Gothic fiction at its finest—dark, moody, mysterious, and brimming with atmosphere.

The relationship between Lucy and Sarah was beautifully written, layered with tension, tenderness, and deep emotional stakes. And the mystery at the heart of the story? Absolutely gripping. (Two words: bog bodies!) While the book nods to Dracula—complete with direct quotes—it never feels like a retread. Van Veen has crafted something wholly original, both in plot and in the vivid characters she brings to life.

Compared to her debut, which occasionally lost momentum, this novel is a masterclass in pacing and storytelling. Every chapter pulled me deeper into its eerie, immersive world.

I listened to the audiobook, and it was phenomenal. The narrator brought the characters and the atmosphere to life so vividly, I felt like I was living inside the story. Highly recommend the audio version if you want an extra layer of immersion.

I won’t spoil the plot—this is one of those stories that’s best experienced blind—but be warned: it gets gory. There are scenes that will make you squirm, and yet, you’ll find yourself fiercely rooting for Lucy and Sarah through it all.

If you love Gothic novels filled with mystery, romance, and a healthy dose of the macabre, don’t walk—RUN to pick this one up. And if you can, grab the audiobook. It’s an experience.

Re-Animator 4K 40th Anniversary Edition: A Bloody, Hilarious Must-Have

Leave a comment

I recently got my hands on the Re-Animator 40th Anniversary 4K release, and it absolutely lives up to the hype—this is exactly why collecting physical media is still so rewarding. Not only is the film a cult classic, but this special edition is packed with extras that make it a collector’s dream.

The release includes two discs featuring both the Unrated and Integral cuts, along with a ton of bonus features that dig deep into the film’s production, legacy, and impact. It’s more than just a movie—it’s a full-on celebration of Re-Animator and its place in horror history. If you’re a fan, this edition is well worth adding to your shelf.

As for the movie itself? Re-Animator (1985) is a wild, blood-soaked ride that perfectly blends horror and hilarity. Directed by Stuart Gordon and loosely based on a story by H.P. Lovecraft, it follows the delightfully mad Herbert West, a medical student who develops a serum that brings the dead back to life. What starts as a standard horror premise quickly explodes into something far more outrageous.

Forget slow-burning suspense—Re-Animator throws you headfirst into over-the-top gore, insane practical effects, and a pitch-black sense of humor that never lets up. Jeffrey Combs’ performance as West is iconic, and the film’s chaotic energy makes it an absolute blast to watch.

If you’re in the mood for something gory, funny, and just plain fun, Re-Animator is the perfect pick. And if you love it already? This 40th Anniversary release is the ultimate way to experience it.

*Thank you so much to David Roberson for the DVD copy of this film in exchange for an honest review!
