There are affiliate links in here. I don't talk about it all that much on here because I've never had the motivation to go back to find good pictures from my trip. It was also eight years ago, so it's not super fresh in my brain. I finally decided to take on this task and…

There are affiliate links in here. Every now and then I go back through old trip pictures and find some that I love but never did anything with. I've recently done it with Slovenia and Taiwan and I've slowly been going through Central America, too, but those aren't up yet. It's Japan's turn now and some…

There are affiliate links in here. If you follow me anywhere other than here, you probably already know that I’ve been learning how to watercolor paint. Well, I also decided that I am going to draw or paint something everyday for the next year. 365 whole days. So far I’ve done good. I mean, I…

I'm switching things up today and writing a review. Yup, you read that right, a review. I started using Viraltag two weeks ago on a trial and love it. It's cut down what I have to do daily and I didn't realize I needed it until I was using it. I had read about schedulers…

There are affiliate links in here. Ahh, January, the start of a new year. I didn't think 2016 was completely horrible, but I still look forward to what 2017 has to offer. January has been sort of exciting I guess, but as usual in winter, I haven't done much. It's been weird seeing pictures from…
It's time for another reading list! Like usual, I've been busy with a book in hand on pretty much a daily basis. That's one good thing about winter, it's the perfect reading weather! Especially when you have a car that isn't optimal for snow. So, buckle up (ha, car jokes) and get reading! (This post…
