🎀 I’m Turning 28, So Here’s 28 Things I Love! (Part 2)

Welcome back, besties! If you read Part 1, you already know I’m celebrating my 28th birthday by sharing 28 things I love—because why not turn aging into a glittery gratitude ritual? Here’s Part 2: the final 14 things that make my life feel magical, chaotic, and beautifully mine.

15. Witchy Things & Witchcraft 🔮

I discovered witchcraft in 2022 during a full-on mental breakdown (we love a transformation arc). Since then, it’s become a soft place to land. I love that it’s customizable—there’s no one way to practice, and I get to choose what feels right for me. Whether it’s moon water, tarot, or just vibing with herbs, it’s helped me feel powerful and grounded.

16. Crystals 💎

Do I have too many? Yes. Do I want more? Also yes. Crystals are my emotional support rocks and I will not be judged. They’re pretty, they’re sparkly, and they help me feel like I can survive life’s chaos with a little extra shimmer.

17. Pools 🏖️

There’s nothing better than floating in a pool, especially with Izzy. It’s my favorite way to beat the Florida heat and pretend I’m a mermaid escaping capitalism. Bonus points if there’s a cute swimsuit involved.

18. Dead Meat 🎬

This YouTube channel is my horror-loving heart’s happy place. The Kill Counts are iconic, and I rewatch my faves constantly while waiting for new ones to drop. It’s spooky, funny, and oddly comforting.

19. Sabrina Carpenter 💅

Hot take: her new album Mans best friend is a masterpiece. Her songs make me feel seen, powerful, and occasionally like I could commit a felony in glitter heels. Songs like house tour and when did you get hot make me want to laugh and dance. Then you have “Lie to Girls” hits deep, and “Don’t Smile” makes me feel warm and soft. She’s the pop princess we deserve.

20. My iPad 📱

This little rectangle of joy is my lifeline. I use it for work, notes, editing, and drawing. I play Minecraft and Roblox with Izzy, binge shows, and scroll Pinterest like it’s a sport. It’s the best thing I’ve ever bought.

21. Killer Klowns from Outer Space 🤡🚀

This 1988 cult classic is everything. The practical effects? Chef’s kiss. The creepy-cute klowns? Iconic. The score by John Massari? A whole vibe. It’s weird, wonderful, and one of my all-time favorite horror movies.

22. Horror Movies 🩸

I love horror. Like, love love. From classics like Scream, Saw, and Nightmare on Elm Street to indie YouTube series like Lookies and anything by Crypt TV—I’m obsessed. Blood, jump scares, creepy lore? Yes please.

23. Art the Clown 🎭

Okay hear me out—Terrifier is a bloody mess, but Art the Clown is kind of adorable in a chaotic evil way. He’s funny, terrifying, and weirdly charming. I think we should let him explain himself.

24. Bob’s Burgers 🍔

I’ve been watching since Season 1 and it’s my comfort show. It reminds me of Sunday nights with my family, back when I used to pretend everything was okay. Now it’s my cozy escape, and it still makes me laugh every single day.

25. Adventures with Izzy 🛍️🪁

Whether we’re flying kites, hitting up Dollar Tree, or just vibing in silence, every moment with Izzy is pure joy. We laugh until we cry, forget the world, and create memories that feel like magic. She’s my partner-in-chaos and my safe space.

26. Drawing 🎨

Art is my therapy. Since getting my iPad, I’ve been drawing more and it helps me quiet my brain. It’s a way to focus, breathe, and create something beautiful out of the mess in my head.

27. Bluey 🐾

Yes, it’s a kids’ show. Yes, it’s amazing. I watch it while working because it calms me down—until I start crying because I wish I had a family like Bluey’s. My favorite character is Muffin, obviously. She’s unhinged and perfect.

28. Me 💖

Cheesy? Maybe. True? Absolutely. I’ve done so much work to get to a place where I can say I love myself. There’s still healing to do, but I know who I am and what I want. I’m proud of the messy, magical, resilient person I’ve become.
