Glamour Darkening

A little corner of my own...

Hello! I've never properly tried HTML or CSS before, but I guess it's never too late! As a kid I remember having a Piczo site, and mainly I would add games onto it. Despite being a Tumblr user in my teens I never got into building my own themes. I want to build this website as a place to learn a new skill, but also to share some fun links and silly thoughts!
I started building this website in April 2024.

Youtubers

• The Closet Historian | Bianca's eye for style and aesthetic are awe-inspiring. Originally following for her 40s/50s style, her DIYs and themed lookbooks have kept me hooked.
• Christine McConnell | Spooky yet vintage DIYs. Always something a bit different from what you expect.
• Leena Norms | I have learned soo much about the world and my internal thought patterns from watching Leena over the years. I aspire to have as much energy for hobbies as she does.
• Megan Rhiannon | Near-weekly videos which heavily feature journalling. V good spooky and moody vibes.
• Mike's Mic | Truly an internet icon. Every video is a hit I don't know what to say.
• Naomi Brockwell TV | Has taught me alot about basic internet privacy. Super approachable!
• Rajiv Surendra | Beautifully thoughtful videos that teach you the joy in simple tasks. He has also got me wanting to send more letters to those nearest and dearest to me.
• QuinBoBin | Words can't describe the joy of watching someone discover and play BOTW years after it came out. Hilarious, talented, and round good egg.

Words I've learned recently

• Ascribe: to say that something is caused by something; assign, or give credit. E.g. They ascribe their love of music to hearing their mum sing each morning in their childhood.
