About the Newsletter

I want this to feel like a good old-fashioned slumber party. Come on in, take your shoes off. Put on your coziest pajamas and let’s watch our favorite episodes of Buffy. I went to Costco and got the good chips and dip, and tomorrow morning we’re having waffles. Tell me all your secrets and I’ll tell you mine. Let’s braid each other’s hair and talk about boys. Or girls. Or dogs. Or the crippling feeling that maybe this is all there is.

In more concrete terms, this is a weekly-ish blog & newsletter that consists of curated recommendations and careful musings on culture, lifestyle, nostalgia, the internet, and how they all intersect. You’ll get book recommendations, personal essays, playlists, style guides, and whatever else catches my fancy.

And sometimes photos of my dog, who knows.

About the Author

I’m Lizzie Campbell – corgi mom, voracious reader, interior design enthusiast, recovering lifestyle blogger, and a pleasure to have in class. By trade I’m a graphic designer, but I’ve been a writer at heart since I first learned how to hold a pencil.

In 2013, I was a burnt out college freshman with undiagnosed ADHD and a journalism major I picked at random because Rory Gilmore made it sound cool. I started a blog one night on a whim, sitting on the floor of my dorm room eating leftover pizza and watching Doctor Who.

That blog turned into a side-job that helped pay for college classes and rent, then my first and second full time jobs, then eventually into my own creative studio and business. You can read the full story here.

I’ve been an observer, curator and casual archivist of the world around me for as long as I can remember. Around 2005-ish, the world around me turned into the world wide web, and I’ve been online ever since.

Blame it on the ADHD or just a natural curiosity, but I’ve had about 3002 interests, hobbies, side hustles, and hyperfixations in my 30+ years of personhood.

All my marketing training, blogging experience, and brand strategy knowledge knows that to be “successful” on the internet, you have to narrow down to a specific niche. My entire personality has been resisting that since I started blogging over a decade ago.

So this newsletter is sort of the antidote to that. A place where I can share things I love, whether they “fit” the theme or not. Where I can talk about 90s sci-fi and 70s music and the Y2K revival and the realities of being in your thirties.

I’m excited to see where it all goes.
