Tea Snacks Adventures for Fantasy Foret

For this last virtual event put on by Rosé Foret the Fantasy Foret I wanted to attempt to do my own tea service, at least partially. I've done some before with partially bought and partially home made treats but I really wanted to try a few new recipes this time! The ones I chose this time were:

Curry Chicken Salad

Cranberry Brie Bites

Pumpkin Appetizer Puffs

Meatball Mummies

Pumpkin Bread/Muffins

September Outfits

We are starting off strong this month with two afternoon tea sets in a row! Following up with some visits to themed bars and a virtual lolita event put on by Rose Foret 💖

My Ongoing Struggle to Find Balance in Social Media and Consuming Content on the Internet

How do you find a balance between being able to post and consume stuff online especially without feeling the FOMO and then overspending? I feel like I continually struggle with this. The consumer culture of the United States is ever present. Compounding that with loving a niche fashion that is mostly about having and wearing clothes where much of the interaction between people who share the hobby happens on social media through pictures and heavily dependent on the algorithm to show you new things. It's getting better now that there are vaccines and meets are happening in person again but the feeling still remains that you somehow need a new outfit for every event or even every new picture you post online. 

I’m nowhere near an expert on these things and am not popular by any means but I have definitely felt the pressure of needing to buy more things to be more interesting online. Things like buying a whole new dress for a themed event, or just being attracted to the rush of excitement something new and shiny brought to me…even though it really wasn’t a good fit for my wardrobe; these have definitely been things I've done in the past and am trying to get better about!
