Another month gone? How can it be? I’ve gone on vacation, Gemini season has started, I’ve turned 33 and that means my birthday month is officially coming to a close! Time to get into all the things May had - only 2 Hallmark movies this month, Baby It’s Cold Inside and Sweet Carolina. Hallmark, how ya doing? We should really talk soon. The May book club pick The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren g...

It’s my birthday week and before officially turning 33 in a few days, I wanted to take a look back at my 20s and why I was so happy to leave them in the dust. If only I had learned some of these lessons before I was 29 and miserable. But it’s okay - as one of my favorite quotes goes, “Your journey has molded you for the greater good.” So, if you’re in your 20s or beyond - just know that comparison...

If you followed along last week on Instagram then you already know - STAY ON PROPERTY. I go all in on the nightmare AirBNB house saga and give my absolute Disney must haves for your next trip (especially if it’s in the summer months during this Panda Express.) Essential number 1? The fan necklace (iykyk). So what are you waiting for? Let’s go to Disney!

It’s already that time again! Where is 2021 going?! I dig into the rest of 2021’s Hallmark Spring Fling movie lineup: One Perfect Wedding (ugh), As Luck Would Have It (meh), Right In Front of Me (cute), and a Bonus Original - Hearts Down Under (SO CUTE I BETTER GET A SEQUEL!) Then it was time to move into all the books I read in April (I actually didn’t talk about 4 of them) including our April Bo...

This week I go all in on why I’m happy I started my shop on Etsy, and also why in 2021 I absolutely would not advise anyone to open a new shop through their platform. Take a look back at how Sock Bun Studios was formed - spoiler alert, I knew the name 4 years before I even opened the shop! I give my fair credit to them for helping launch Scrunchies to the stratosphere - while then also helping cra...

It’s time to marry off three of the Bridgerton’s in this part 2 of the deep dive into Romancing Mr. Bridgerton, To Sir Phillip With Love, and When He Was Wicked. Julia Quinn really released three books all within the same two months. London 1824 doesn’t know what hit it. Also please ignore the several times I cry in this podcast - it’s just SO. GOOD. Let’s get to it!

1824! What a season! Ah dear listeners, it is I, your faithful podcaster here with the chronological rundown of how Colin, Eloise, and Francesca’s storylines all intersect in the season of 1824. On the heels of Netflix’s announcement that there shall be seasons 3 and 4 of the show, this serves as a nice companion of what could easily be season 4. There’s just so much goodness to be found in Romanc...

It’s time to get into Benedict Bridgerton’s book An Offer From a Gentleman this week. Why he is super sweet and also kind of the worst. Did the script writers for A Cinderella Story consult Julia Quinn?? I think they might have....oh and we still stan Violet Bridgerton in this house. She is the best. Colin’s Matchmaking Services merch coming soon....cause seriously... ”just marry the girl” is his...

Where on Earth did March go?? I’m not exactly upset but 2021 is speeding by. I’m here to give a quick Corona Vaccine update, recap the three Hallmark movies from this month, and get into ALLLLL the books. I read 5 this month! That’s a new record for me. A League of Extraordinary Women novels by Evie Dunmore, Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade, Francesca’s story When He Was Wicked by Julia Quinn and our...

Ah Dear Listeners, it is I, your exalted Scrunchie CEO and historical romance book lover back again with a deep dive look at Anthony Bridgerton and what will be season 2 of Bridgerton: The Viscount Who Loved Me. I tried to keep it under an hour but...I guess there’s always next time. I hit on the key points from Anthony’s book - the things that BETTER be in season 2 (are they ever going to start f...

Sarah Everard’s life was cut short two weeks ago when she was abducted and murdered while walking home alone from a friends house at the age of 33. It’s 2021. We should all care about this as women and as humans. It’s not about “but nothing happened” anymore - it’s about why this is so still completely unacceptable. Helping break down the “not all men” hashtag - yes that’s a thing, and practical t...

This week I took a look back at the five new Hallmark “New Year, New Movies” debuts - four that I loved. One that I’ll never watch again. Called out some Hallmark app reviewers, you know - some people I just never wanna watch a Hallmark movie with! Also recalled the 3.5 books I read this month - yes there’s some more Bridgerton talk. Then I look ahead to February things including the Book Club pic...
