I’m not sure how accurate this is to what you’re looking for, but Giovanni’s room definitely has an atmosphere of heartbreaking romance, jazzy, floaty summers and swooning emotion 🫶🏽

😢Short and enthralling, with prose that is both breezy and profound and a simple yet confounding story. It’s like a snapshot of someone’s heart. I think the scenery and emotion of this book brought about a natural and gorgeous visualization of the story, which is wonderful to experience.

James Baldwin's masterpiece reads like a noir film set in 1950s Paris, where the real crime isn't passion but self-deception. An American expat and his Italian lover circle each other in a dingy room, both knowing this can only end one way. Baldwin strips away every romantic illusion to reveal the raw nerves of shame, desire, and the lies we tell to survive. It's brutal, beautiful, and unforgettable and never overstays it’s welcome.

The way Baldwin writes really makes you feel it. I highly recommend if you like being messy or wonder what it would be like to be a bisexual man in 1950s paris.

There’s a creator on Instagram and tiktok called Lauren_dozier and she makes the most lovely flower shaped cookies
I made them recently and they turned out quite well- I used a ‘no spread’ sugar cookie recipe and gel food colouring 💓

🛁I tried so many different branded hair masks and nothing has worked as well for me as just pure coconut oil. I buy a big tub of cold pressed 100% pure coconut oil and apply a generous amount all over my scalp (about 2 tbsp), leave it for as long as possible (if i have no where to go I put a little cap on and leave it all day), then work shampoo into my hair dry (oil doesn’t mix well with water) then wash out and condition. it leaves my hair feeling so nourished and clean!

Paper-based activities bring me back to my childhood, if I’m feeling extra-nostalgic I’ll sit on the floor and craft with all my journaling supplies spread about me.
It satiates something in me, to use my hands to create; my life ask less and less for dexterity, and requires less and less sitting on the floor all afternoon- it is meditative <3
