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.

Friday Things + OPI Lincoln Park After Midnight
OPI Lincoln Park After Midnight It's been a good week, for the most part. It started out on Monday with a terrible case of food poisoning (ugh) which left me feeling slightly overwhelmed for much of the week. I just hate getting behind. I was laying on the bathroom floor thinking...
