Homegoods had hand painted pottery from Portugal that just begged for a riot of colorful flowers. We’ve had so much rain but my garden and flowers look like they’re on steroids!

Wow! That looks great!

Evening, Jezzies!

I planted a spring garden this year and it is exploding with veggie deliciousness! Our peonies just bloomed after 2 years of not doing shit and we have all sorts of lilies about to bloom. Love this time of year!

It’s good to see you back! I posted last week about my first stitch(and personal design). I had some issues with it so I made some changes and remade it.

Alas, I haven’t been very crafty— seems like a lot of the recent news has made me want to NOPE out of life (not that way, don’t worry; it means I stay in bed a lot reading/listening to music/sleeping). I am hoping to get a replacement battery for this Kindle I took apart and see if I can get it to work.

That said, my hu…

Nails I did for an Instagram collaboration. World Ocean Day is next week 😊🐟🐚

I have set up a luxurious tents, palapas & hammocks & pool bar retreat along a Caribbean seaside for those who are in the Permanently Tired of Men camp, and who wish to retire in peace. Wear your caftans & turbans and meet me on the deck for sundowners, ladies.

I don’t know the secret for darkening hair without orange, since I am going the opposite way. For me, the secret to lightening it is lightening it a bit, and then toning it with a semi-permanent silver toner. A lot of the toners people talk about online (like Wella T14 or T18) are for toning brassiness out of very…

Hard to say, I know 3D can make the image darker but I also expect by now they’ve figured ways around that (like, I saw TFA and Doctor Strange in both formats and didn’t notice a huge difference in clarity.)

Ok, I have honest advice, being a person who has really struggled with a fear of rejection, mild agoraphobia, social awkwardness, and generalized anxiety, not to mention periods of time when I just couldn’t get a handle on my self-esteem and knew that low confidence oozed off of me.

I just got diagnosed with depression after a long spell of it and for the past year or so, the only thing I wanted to leave my house to do was browse Target and Home Goods on a Friday / Saturday and buy face masks and odds and ends I didn’t necessarily need. Part of my depression was being burned out from work and…

We just came back from vacation and my only wish was to see manatees. These amazing creatures followed us around in kayaks and while in the harbor stalking them, a breeze came up and blew off my favorite sun hat. I tried to get it before it sank but SWEAR a manatee dragged it down below and is now wearing my hat and…

I’m a solo act too. I absolutely hear you—holidays, long weekends, and any other time people associate with family can be hard when you don’t have a partner or kids.

I started cross stitching this week. There was a lot of pre-planning required and trying to understand basic techniques but I’m fairly pleased with my first small design. I’ve got to figure out how I’m going to finish it but in the bigger picture it’s practice for a project I want to do for a local group.

What’s cooking chez vous? I made a cake for my niece’s birthday party tomorrow. It was so damn hot today, I couldn’t do any real decorating, the cake could only be out of the refrigerator for a few minutes before the frosting started getting very soft, but I think it looks festive. Vanilla bean cake with raspberry…

I have chosen to believe in Nessie, Bigfoot, Yeti and all other possible creatures.

I have schizo-typical personality disorder. I jokingly call it being a ‘half-ass sociopath’ because the major symptom is a reduced (but existing!) affect, also known as emotional response. According to the doctors I’ve seen I’m highly unusual for being married and having children. Most people like me are loners and…

Speaking as someone with mental illnesses who has mostly chosen to be single partly as a consequence of those illnesses, I have the upmost respect for Davidson.
