Hiya!

I'm a big dreamer living close to Paris, France! I'm almost 24 and I'm a big kid at heart but also love anything cosy and old-timey.

If I'm not at home curled under a blanket with my black tea and a book, you can find me wandering outside in parks and forests, taking photographs of plants and animals.

I've always felt a strong connection to nature and animals so when I discovered Wicca/Pagan spirituality in middle school it felt right ☾ I've also been a vegetarian for more than 10 years!

I still live at home with my parents and little brother (and my 2 cats, 2 turtles and chickens).

My favourite colours are green, mustard yellow, and burgundy. Neutral darks with gold accents is my favourite combination! I love any theme, but natural and vintage with a hint of magic is my aesthetic ~

I'm a massive book nerd and spend most of my time reading!

Here's a list of some of my favourites in no particular order: ✵The Time Traveler's Wife (Audrey Niffenegger) ✵The Starless Sea (Erin Morgenstern) ✵The House in the Cerulean Sea (T.J. Klune) ✵I'll Give You the Sun (Jandy Nelson) ✵The Once and Future Witches (Alix E. Harrow) ✵Howl's Moving Castle (Diana Wynne Jones) ✵Any V. E. Schwab novel ~

My preferred genres are fantasy and magical middle grade but I'm a really eclectic reader so a lot of other things appeal to me! I absolutely love anything magical and whimsical with beautiful writing. I also really enjoy queer and diverse stories :)

Once again I have my preference but depending on my mood I can listen to mostly anything :)

My top artists are Ben Howard, Elliott Smith, AURORA, Bear's Den, Hozier, Àsgeir.. so my usual go-to is folk and indie music.

But I'm also a big fan of rock/ punk and metal music, my favourite bands being Breaking Benjamin, Green Day, Nirvana, Skillet..

When I'm not tucked into a good book, I'm usually watching something, a movie, a TV show or Youtube!

I love animated series and movies! Like any of the Studio Ghibli movies (my favourites being Ponyo on the Cliff and Kiki's Delivery Service), Hilda, Avatar the Last Airbender, Over the Garden Wall Adventure Time, Gravity Falls...

Other than that shows I really enjoy are Supernatural, The Office, Atypical, Grace and Frankie, American Horror Story, One Day at a Time..

I'm very curious so I love trying new things and learning new hobbies - craft related or not.

Here's a non-exhaustive list: art/bullet journaling, watercolour painting, photography, cooking &baking, pyrography, cross-stitch embroidery, calligraphy, drawing/doodling, colouring, writing letters, making playlists... :)

My favourite crafts and things to make/ receive are flipbooks, handmade bookmarks and envelopes, washi samples, little doodles and stamped images, old papers and ephemera...

I collect crystals, bookmarks and pressed plants ☘
