And I’m not going to make apologies or excuses. I’m a real person with a real life to handle in addition to my business. But I do miss everyone. What’s been keeping me so busy? I started classes to get a Bachelor’s Degree! Returning to college in my 30s has been equal parts time consumingContinue reading “It’s been a while”
Holy Vaccine Response, Batman
Many of you knew I got two doses of the Pfizer Covid vaccine in early 2021 and that the second dose kicked my butt. My second dose was about 12:30 pm and by 10:30 I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly, but something felt off.

More Color Correction Fun
And this time on myself!

I have a lot of feelings on the recent Texas abortion ban
Fair warning to those who may be affected, I will be discussing my feelings on termination of pregnancies. If you’re someone who is unwilling or unable to acknowledge a position other than the traditional “pro-life” stance, this may not be the post for you.

What really happens when you use kitchen oils in your hair
It seems like we hear it around every corner: “coconut oil is a miracle worker” or “have a problem? Try coconut oil!” To an extent, sure thing! The biggest difference between the coconut oil you use in the kitchen and the kind that’s added in hair products is that the coconut oil that goes intoContinue reading “What really happens when you use kitchen oils in your hair”
