I love these little beautiful quotes, on the inside of packaging from @valentiaskincare. 🖤 Sometimes the princess has to be her own hero and save herself. Sometimes the dragon is safer than the prince. Some fairy tales don't have a heroic quest or dramatic happy ending, but the journey is still worthy. ✨️ This life is a Choose Your Own Adventure story... and even though I often choose wrong, I will still continue trying to make it beautiful, forever and ever amen. 😘 #fairytaleaesthetic #fairytales #princesssavesherself #beyourownhero #beYOUtiful #chooseyourownadventure #chooseyou #maincharacterenergy #prettypackaging #prettyquotes #selfcaredaily #prettyheart #prettythings (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoH-Qv1LTpf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Outwitting the Witch

“Outwitting the Witch” by Franz Xaver von Schönwerth, from White as Milk, Red as Blood, translated by Shelley Tanaka.

Evil witch √ Princess(es) under enchantment √ Handsome prince haplessly wandering in √ The youngest has a trickster plan √ Narrow escape √ Doesn’t go well for the witch √ Clever princess gets the prince √

This is such a kick butt story in which the princess saves herself, her handsome prince, and her sisters. Lesson learned: If you at risk of being eaten by an evil witch, always take a sword in with you so as to fight your way out.

When you have no power, and you can’t even trust your own family, your wits are all you have left to rely on. It may appear that all is doomed, but if you use your problem solving skills, things might turn out okay after all. Sometimes powerful captors can be out-maneuvered.

Even Odysseus could have learned a thing or two from this princess.

A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow

128 Pages

This book is a Contemporary Fantasy retelling of Sleeping Beauty. And it's fun as hell!

I had so much fun with this one. A sick, dying girl gets pulled into another dimension where she teams up with none other than Sleeping Beauty to rewrite their stories.

Full of badass characters (lgbtq included) proving you don't need a prince to have a happily ever after, and sometimes a "curse" is a blessing in disguise.

I truly enjoyed every moment of this one.

🖤🖤🖤🖤/5

Also, there is a badass pre-order Pin available, but you've got to be quick, it ends in just 3 days! (Next slide for a sneak peak)

•✫•☽︎ Synopsis ☾︎•✫•

It's Zinnia Gray's twenty-first birthday, which is extra-special because it's the last birthday she'll ever have. When she was young, an industrial accident left Zinnia with a rare condition. Not much is known about her illness, just that no one has lived past twenty-one.

Her best friend Charm is intent on making Zinnia's last birthday special with a full sleeping beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, something strange and unexpected happens, and she finds herself falling through worlds, with another sleeping beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.
