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.”

DIY Bath Bombs!

DIY Bath Bombs!

I'm absolutely obsessed with Lush bath bombs. One of my favorite things to do is to relax in a nice scented bath and binge Netflix. Lately, it's been something I look forward to all day. I love climbing into bed all fresh, clean and relaxed. I don't know if you've noticed, though. Bath bombs are...
