An Ode to Slow Afternoons // Reading, Spending the Afternoon with Salem #blogging #blogger #blog #reading #booksky💙📚 #booksky📚💙 #slowliving #reader #cottage #cottageliving #cottagelibrary www.makaylalove.com/blog/y1ttf74...

I've been doing a lot of journaling lately 🖋📖 I want to work on reinventing my life and becoming the ultimate dream version of myself. I'm already feeling great about moving forward into this new era! #changingmylife #newera #cottagelife #cottagecore #fairytalecottage #fairycore #pastel

Current read! I gotta read it for my lit theory class and dissect it (I chose a lens of gender and women's studies). I'm not super far in yet but so far in yet but I'm in love so far! #booksky📚💙 #booksky💙📚 #amreading #books

How do you plan your garden during the winter months? Last year I learned "planning" doesn't just mean fantasizing about it aesthetically, but idk how to actually PLAN a garden. Any tips / suggestions? #gardening #garden #planningagarden

Happy Halloween 🎃 #halloween2025🧟‍♀️☠️👻🕸️🕷️🦇🎃 #halloween #halloween2025 #cottagelibrary #pumpkins #Spooky #spookyseason

Writing time at the cottage 🖋 I made myself a cup of cinnamon toast flavored coffee (omg so good) and now it's time to get down to writing! #coffee #cinnamontoast #writersdesk #amwritingfantasy #amwritingfiction #amwriting #writingtime #author

I got a timeless teddy bear 🧸 from Build a Bear and did a review of what I thought! Come check it out 💚💚 #blogger #buildabear #vintage #teddybear #review #reviews

There is a distinct possibility I have a stuffed animal problem

I wrote a #bookreview for DONT LET THE FOREST IN By CG Drews on my website! You should check it out! #booksky #book #reviews #horror #ya #signalboost #booksky📚💙 www.makaylalove.com/blog/dont-le...

I really like #journaling. It's a fun hobby and a good excuse to spend too much money on stationary and stickers lol #craft #crafting

Why do I all of a sudden want to go buy a pre-made birdhouse just to paint it? Why now? I won't have a use for a birdhouse until next spring, but it's all I can think about lol #adhd #gardendecor #birdhouse #birds #crafting

I've just been on a roll with blog content the last couple of days! I'm loving sharing with you guys my excitement for the fall season (I'm absolutely counting August as fall, and you can't stop me!) And I hope you enjoy the fruits of my impromptu shopping! #shopping #dollartree #haul #blog #blogger

🍁 Question: What are you thinking about doing to romanticize fall this year? 🍁 I decided to start my marathon of fall and Halloween themed blog content today! #romanticize #fall #autumn #booksky💙📚 #boostsignal #videogames #blog #blogger #blogging #lifestyleblog #lifeinthecottage #smallblogger

I want to talk about my blog a little. The idea behind writing my blog is to use my skillset to create a safe harbor for people who are feeling anxious about everything going on in the world. It's important to be informed, but it's important to rest too. #blogging #blog #fantasy #hobbit #writer

My first attempt at gardening went real south real fast-- but this is a learning opportunity, not a failure! Now I know that when people say they're "planning their garden" it's not just daydreaming about the kinds of flowers they're going to buy lol Next year for sure! #gardening #garden #oops

Exploring secondary fantasy worlds feels like wandering through secret gardens of imagination. Each page whispers adventures, and I find solace in their magic. What a delight to escape! #booksky 💙📚

Gonna pack orders now! Everything is ready and dry!

Personally, I'm very much not a summer girlie. Come get me when the sun sets at 4 pm, and the high temps don't go over 75°. #autumn #fall #summersucks

What are your favorite books to read in the fall? What books just scream 🍁 A U T U M N 🍁 to you? #booksky📚💙 #reading #bookrecs #books #bookrecommendations

Tbh I'm surprised I did any writing at all considering I didn't sleep well last night at all lol, but I did! Here's how it went! #writing #writingupdates #blog #blogging #cozyfantasy #cozy #rainyday #boostsignal #promotion #blogger #darkfantasy #books

#Finaldestination movie marathon, leading up to finally seeing #finaldestinationbloodlines ! We're starting with 5 and watching in story order! #movies #moviemarathon #horrormovies

Have you played #echoesoftheplumgrove ? I just got it a few days ago and there's a good chance I'm addicted lol. This is how I'm going to spend my 4th of July #cozygames #gaming #games #switchgames #cozy

Very excited about the free range eggs I just got 🩷🥚 I can't wait to try them! I've never had eggs that I hadn't bought at a store, so this will definitely be an experience! #freerange #eggs #chickens #cottagecore #cottagelife

I absolutely am the kind of person to find portraits of my cats in fancy clothes, and put them in a grandma frame with my wedding picture lol Ngl I'm way more excited about this than I probably should be lol #grandmacore #fancycats #catportraits #Wednesdaylove #SalemLove #cottagedecor #thriftfinds

🌱 This rose - it's a new rose. Unnamed. Unregistered. Yet, it's as beautiful as the roses that come from well-known brand names. Bred by Frank Gatto of Raft Island Roses in Gig Harbor, WA. Frank has been breeding roses since the 1990s. His roses are gorgeous. #bloomscrolling #garden #Zone8b

For those out there who know anything about home design: is it okay to design a room in three colors, or is that too busy? I was going to redesign the bedroom in a dark forest green, pastel pink, and natural wood but idk if that's too much. Thanks! #homedecor #homedesign #colors #decor #reno

You want a shot? You need to get up to like at least level two herbalism and gardening. Call it botany call it what you will. You know what the hell it is. Level one is learning the mint plant. Learn what it's good for. Learn how to grow and propagate it. Learn how to contain it.

What started out as a herb garden is now enhanced by wild Welsh poppies.

I'm really hyperfixating right now on sewing and crafting my own clothes. I'm in this headspace where I want to try and be more sustainable where I can, and one of the areas I'm starting with are my clothes. I'm a total, 100% beginner though so it'll be a journey lol #sewing #sewingclothes #craft

Spending the day in my library, reading and maybe working on the short story despite a raging headache and allergies kicking up. #summer #summertime #seasonalaffectivedisorder #readingcomunity #thedunwichhorror #WritingCommunity #writers

Guys I had so much fun going shopping for plants last weekend 😭 I'm trying to have more cozy hobbies that don't involve a screen or monetization of my happiness, and I think this will be a good one! So, like, check it out if you wanna 💚💚 #gardening #garden #cottage #fantasy #cozy 🌱
