Astraea walked through the frozen landscape and snow spilled over the tops of her boots, freezing her toes inside her stockings.

To Share My Heart
My life has always been driven by creativity and imagination. These elements aren’t mere passions, interests, or hobbies for me. Creativity is the core of my being, my essence as a person.

On March 31, 2021, my life changed with one TikTok video. The date happened to be my 9th wedding anniversary, and I had had enough of my marriage.

Vegan, Gluten Free Raspberry & Chocolate Tart
It was April 2020, still early in the days of lockdown during the pandemic. I've always had a sweet tooth, and I often enjoy rummaging for snacks in the evenings. The trouble was, I had been having health problems for MONTHS, so I'd drastically changed my diet in a desperate attempt to get well again. There weren't any ready-to-eat snacks around the house for me to grab that would fit the dietary bill. Going out to pick up ingredients wasn’t really an option during the beginning of the pandemic lockdowns, either.
