Althea Photography

Hullo, my name is Emily, I'm an aspiring photographer from upstate NY, I dabble in form and portraiture. So have a look, and feel free to contact me. NSFW.

Swapsies

High key wild that I stopped writing here almost 6 years ago. In that time, I’ve gone through a couple big life events; moving (three times!), going back to school, completely changing careers, and now I’m graduated again. Going back to school at 31 was a kind of wild choice, but it was the right one for the person I have become. I’m really quite proud of my achievements, and I will be crossing…

Slowing Down

Hello friends and Fangirls! As I’m sure you’ve noticed (or maybe you haven’t; no judgement either ay), things have been pretty quiet around here as of late. I have been thinking quite awhile on this, but I haven’t been feeling like writing for myself as much. I’ve been really enjoying writing for Sartorial Geek (you can check out my articles there, here), and I’m looking to do more guest spots…

Wilder Girls by Rory Power

Wilder Girls by Rory Power

Of course this was a cover buy. This art is so dang good, I can’t handle it. But what’s under the cover is so much better, it’s mind blowing.

Have you ever read a book or watched a TV show at exactly the right time? Consumed some sort of media that was exactly what you needed in that moment? I Might Regret This by Abbi Jacobson was the perfect book for me the week before my 27th birthday.

Hogwarts House Outfit Swap

Hogwarts House Outfit Swap

When Ashley and I decided to go to LeakyCon’s 10th anniversary, we also decided that we wanted to style each other for one of the days. We had seen tons of videos on Buzzfeed or Safiya Nygaard’s channels, so we tried it out. Let me tell you, Ashley was so much better at this than I was, but we’ll get into that in a bit. Since this was for Leaky, we went to our Hogwarts houses for inspiration.

What you Should be Watching on YouTube

What you Should be Watching on YouTube

Ok, I believe that everyone should be allowed to watch whatever the heck they want. But I wanted to share a couple of the channels I have been living for recently. These are all over the place, and some of them are not necessarily for all ages (I’ll be sure to let you know which those are). Here are some suggestions that I find hilarious, informative, or just a good time.

The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert

The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert

This is another book that has been firmly seated on my TBR, waiting for me to get to reading. I read it last month, and while it didn’t click with me as a favorite, it was a truly interesting book, and that made me want to tell all of you about it!

The Wild Robot by Peter Brown

The Wild Robot by Peter Brown

I had looked at this book a couple times in both Target and Barnes and Noble, and finally grabbed it one day. It was in the middle grade section, so I knew it would be a relatively quick read for me. I was excited to read it, regardless.
