On the Ability to Say “No”
I feel that I’m at the point in my life where I can start paying it forward, simply because I’ve been very lucky. I work at a company that I enjoy and I’m still able to freelance write professionally and enjoy my life. Sometimes? It’s just really hard for me to say “no.” I want [...]

Kind of like spice, except less smelly and a lot greener. I’m ready to stick to online shopping. Seriously. I want to support my local stores when I’m in [...]
Because BPAL smells good

Unless, of course, someone finally invented a scratch-and-sniff widget that would allow me to sample what I’m buying beforehand. So? I took a chance on BPAL. Here’s what I got: CHESHIRE CAT – Full vial Samples of: [...]
Taking a Serious Look at Chapter Breaks
