Happy Solstice, y'all! On this, the first day of Summer, I bring you guidance from the tarot and runes. May you find what you need to overcome all of the season's obstacles, and my Midsummer grant you warmth, light, and comfort to persevere! This season I used the Moon Crystal Tarot from Alexandra Aquilina (screengirlberlin on Etsy) and my Amethyst rune set.

Hey, y'all! In this video, I made Alyce's petticoat and skirt, and I'm so proud of them! There's just something about running around in long, flowing skirts like these, y'know? Stay tuned for Boltgun and Alyce's Bodice.

Hey, y'all! Here is the part in which we finish Alyce's shift or smock. The shift, with a few variations under a few different names, was the quintessential and ubiquitous undergarment for men and women throughout most of the Western world's known history. In women's dress, it wouldn't see a decline in use until the creation of combinations in the 1870s. I'm very proud of my first piece of historic garb, and I'm excited to share the rest of this journey with you! What was your first historic garb? Reference used for this version of the shift: https://reconstructinghistory.com/blogs/blog/your-first-garb-the-chemise I used white shift or shirt linen from Burnley & Trowbridge for this piece.

She's here! I lovingly present the first installment of the Alyce Pestle costume build. Alyce is my original Irish apothecary from Elizabethan England whom I created for my local Renaissance Festival.

Hey, y'all! Last saturday, we went to a NEW convention in New Roads called Peli Con, and it was a lovely time! I think this was the smallest event I've attended, but it was wonderful to support them and see all the vendors and creators. Here's to next year!

Hey, y'all! Here is the last day of our 2021 trip, which mostly shows some Disney Springs strolling and the flights home. I honestly didn't realize how little I had filmed of this day until I was editing the footage, and I'm especially sad about it since I also lost my favorite pair of sunglasses- which I had worn for the *entire* trip- on this last day. I had them for both flights, but they seemingly never made it back to my house. :( All that said, thank you for your patience as I got these edited and posted, and thank you for watching the series! There will be more Disney content very soon! In the mean time, let me know what your favorite part of the series was in the comments, and stay tuned for the Alyce Pestle build (possibly after Pirates of the Ponchartrain).

Hey, y'all! We took a day from our Disney trip in 2021 to pop over to Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. Mom, Chris, and I had a lovely time walking around and shopping on this day, and I made a visit to the Riviera pool when we got back to the resort. The day made for a shorter video, but it was still a great one. Stay tuned for Day 7: our trip home! Portals to Other Realms: https://linktr.ee/alirien The full 2021 Disney World Experience:

Hey, y'all! Here is a quick vlog of our time at the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Chris got to walk alongside one of the floats this year, and there were some fantastic throws from the krewes. Sláinte, Happy St. Patrick's Day, and Happy Feast of Dionysus!

Our fourth day in Disney was Chris's birthday, so we celebrated in EPCOT by drinking around the world! His mom got us matching birthday shirts and buttons, we rode Remy's Ratatouille Adventure; Frozen Ever After; Soarin'; and Spaceship Earth, and we had a marvelous dinner at Le Cellier in the Canada pavilion. We also found all the Remy statues! Stay tuned for Day 5 in Magic Kingdom.

Hey, y'all! Here are the 12 western zodiac horoscopes for the season of Ostara, the spring equinox, for 2023.

This was our first full day at a park, and we went to Animal Kingdom! We rode Flight of Passage & Kilimanjaro Safari, watched Kite Tails, and had some good food before heading over to Magic Kingdom for the Boo Bash event, which was enjoyable, but nothing like Mickey's Not-So-Scary (which I've yet to experience).

My boyfriend and I went to Disney World with our moms for the 50th Anniversary in October, and we had an amazing time! Our first day was mostly spent traveling there from Baton Rouge, but after settling in at the Riviera Resort, we whiled away our evening strolling through Disney Springs.

Hey, y'all! Chris & I went to the Acadiana Renaissance Fête in Opelousas, Louisiana for their final weekend celebrating Mardi Gras. Here is a little vlog of our experience. Acadiana Renaissance Fête (pronounced "fett) is a new festival that just concluded its second year. While still small, it provides a wonderful opportunity for southwest Louisiana and its surrounding area to kick off the year in quite the style. I'm so excited to see it grow in the coming years.
