Basic Witches (Book Review)


Basic Witches written by Jaya Saxena & Jess Zimmerman is set to release later this year.

Quirk Books will release Basic Witches on August 29th with spells for success, beauty and love. Basic Witches is 208 pages of fun-filled content that gives you tips for becoming a better you. Some of the spells include curing what ails you--basically a list of herbs and remedies when you are under the weather which includes aloe vera, ginger & peppermint, cayenne and so forth. The book even includes a section that helps you become a fit witch with callisthenic exercises like stirring the cauldron and the broomstick. Readers will also get a small dose of witch history and a recap of some of pop culture's favorite witches.

Basic Witches isn't an occult type book by any sense but a collection of tips allowing readers to find inner and outer prosperity. I really loved the fun way Basic Witches used the witch culture to create a more entertaining read that allows you to stay fully immersed in every page of the book.

In the end, Basic Witches is an excellent book that puts a spell over its reader from start to finish. Basic Witches provides nourishment of the soul and puts readers on a spiritual path to a better understanding of their own lives. To learn more, visit the official Basic Witches website.

Buffet Bliss or Southern Swing-and-a-Miss? A Bite at Kacey’s in Huntsville

  Walk through the doors of Kacey’s Country Cooking in Huntsville and you’re greeted by the comforting smell of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread that could double as perfume for any true Southerner. This is where the buffet line reigns supreme, the sweet tea flows endlessly, and dessert is always just an arm’s reach away. For many locals, Kacey’s is a comfort food paradise. Fans brag about the fried green tomatoes, juicy pork chops, slow-cooked beef tips, and banana pudding that deserves its own holiday. The staff are another highlight—quick with refills, friendly enough to feel like family, and the kind of people who can make a buffet feel like Sunday dinner at grandma’s. But Kacey’s has its critics too. Some diners rave about “the best bang for your buck in town,” while others complain that the food sometimes veers into “straight-from-the-can” territory. Like most buffets, it’s a roll of the dice: hit the line on a good day and you’ll be full and happy; catch it on an...

Step Back in Time at Ole Towne Café in Ardmore

If you’ve ever wished you could step into your grandma’s kitchen and smell fresh biscuits baking while bacon sizzles in the skillet, Ole Towne Café in Ardmore, Alabama, is the next best thing. Tucked along Main Street, this little diner doesn’t just serve food—it serves nostalgia. Walking in, you’re greeted with that small-town charm you just can’t fake. The walls are lined with country décor, the coffee flows like a friendly neighbor’s gossip, and everyone seems to know everyone else. Even if you’re new in town, you’ll feel like family after your first cup of coffee. The menu is straight out of a Southern comfort cookbook. The catfish plates are fried to crispy perfection, the hamburger steaks come smothered in gravy that tastes like Sunday supper, and the breakfast plates are legendary—big fluffy pancakes, biscuits as big as your hand, and hash browns that come golden and crispy. And let’s not forget dessert. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, save room for the pies. Ole Towne Café d...
