HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I can’t believe my last post was on the 4th of July! Time always has a way of escaping me. Sigh…but, I’m back now with a new post featuring the classic and classy Sam Edelman Hazel black patent pumps. Aren’t they so sexy?! Of course, I am wearing torturedSoles non-slip pads to keep my narrow heels in the pumps. 🙂

I’ve been traveling A LOT this year. That’s part of the reason why I’ve been absent from the blog. However, being the paranormal enthusiast that I am, I could not miss posting for Halloween. I’ve had such a fun month! It started with a girls trip to Salem, MA with my two besties: my childhood Forever BFF, Tammy, and my college BFF, Packy. We had a bonus friend, Beatriz, who is Packy’s friend from her neighborhood. I was really excited about this trip because I’ve always been interested in the witch trials of 1692. During the hysteria, 19 people were found guilty of witchcraft and executed by hanging. The 20th victim was a man named Giles Corey. Corey was pressed (crushed) to death over three days because he refused to enter a plea.

Today, Salem’s Puritan past remains in the past. It is now an eclectic town with a festive atmosphere. It reminded me a little of New Orleans (minus the public drinking) with throngs of people wandering the historic district and browsing the mom and pop shops, many of which were witch and occult shops. Spooky! I remember asking where the “normal” souvenir shops were.

Can you spot, Tammy, Beatriz, and Packy??? 😉

We ran into many spooky characters!

We took a day tour our first day in Salem. Our guide was wonderful and gave us a great intro to Salem’s history as well as other notable facts. I quickly learned much of Hocus Pocus was filmed there. I’ve never seen Hocus Pocus, but it is now on my list of movies to watch. Several episodes of Bewitched were filmed in Salem too! There is a statue of Elizabeth Montgomery across from the Gulu-Gulu Cafe.

Beatriz took this capture of me with my besties at the Bewitched statue on our last night in Salem. Packy couldn’t resist buying a witch hat. Lol!

Savannah, GA captures my heart over and over again. Its beauty captivates me while its soul always draws me back. The last time I was there was in the summer of 2019. I arrived the evening before my parents got there and I felt so happy to be back in my favorite Southern city. (more…)

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my family, friends, followers, and visitors! 2021 will be an epic year, I can feel it! 😉 Do y’all do resolutions? I do not. Resolutions are so easily broken. Haha! Instead, I focus on being a better version of myself than the previous year. For 2021, that will entail getting out of my comfort zone, particularly when it comes to nature. (more…)

Lizzy goes to the beach in this installment of Lizzy’s Latest! 😉 If you know me or have been following my blog, you know that I grew up on the beaches of San Diego. Some of my happiest childhood memories happened at the beach with my Forever BFF, Tammy. When we were younger, her dad used to take us and our brothers to the annual sandcastle competition at Imperial Beach. It was so much fun watching artists create spectacular works of art out of sand! When we were preteens, Tammy and I used to be dropped off at the beach where we would enjoy girl time and flirt with the cute boys…surfers for me and skaters for Tammy. Haha! (more…)

Almost every year around Christmastime, my childhood friend, Lee, brings up Mardi Gras. And every time he brings it up, I hesitate because I loathe crowds and rarely drink. I would always tell him, “Maybe next year.” To which he would respond, “Liz, you need to get out more.” (more…)

Edgar Allan Poe remained true to his art. He had so many opportunities to lead a life of practicality, but he always found ways to flee complacency. For Poe’s passion was writing and he was determined to earn a living wage through his fictions. He would be the first American writer to attempt this, but his efforts never translated to enduring financial success. (more…)
