Hi, I´m Joey
It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.
While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”
Fresh Start: How to Be Happy
I've always really liked the idea of a new year. A fresh start. The chance to try again. I think New Years is like an important reminder to check in and evaluate. How did things go throughout your year? What could you do better? Did you finally find your groove with...
H54F and Nail Files!
1. OPI cajun shrimp with rimmel Dazzle (i love this accent and reach for it often. So funny to me since it's been in my collection forever and hardly ever wore it before!) Sinful Colors Candy Coated with Sinful Colors pinky glitter (over white polish). 2. I only got in front of...
On Being Sad
Edit: I had this post scheduled for earlier this week. I lost my nerve, jumped out of bed and intercepted it before it went live. After some careful thought and discussion with a couple friends, I've decided to share. Be kind, loves. I am usually the happiest person you'll ever...
Accidental Discovery
I did something kind of by accident, and it worked. I was sick over the weekend, but Saturday night I went ahead and took my shower, washed and blow dried my hair in preparation to leave early the next morning to visit the in-laws. Well, as luck would have it, I woke up sick as a dog on...
March Favorites (Non-Beauty!)
Hi Guys! I'm filming my March Beauty Favorites video today, but I also have a few non-beauty favorites that I want to share! This list is kind of all over the place, so bare with me. Shrimp Tacos: It's been a weird obsession this month, and since there aren't many restaurants here in...
HI, I'M JOEY
Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.
My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.

YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOKS
For the deep feeler, the over-thinker & the one who’s trying to figure out where they fit.
I write for the ones who feel like they’re too much and not enough all at the same time. For the ones navigating big questions about identity, self-worth, relationships, and those in-between life moments no one really prepares you for.
My stories offer a mix of comfort and catharsis—like a late-night journal entry or a favorite nostalgic playlist. If you love Taylor Swift lyrics, soft heartbreak, and hopeful endings, you just might find a piece of yourself in these pages.
