Behind Closed Doors
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. No one quite understands the way in which the secrets, realities, lies, fantasies, arguments, betrayal, confusion, guilt, happiness, and the mundane all gather and dance together there. Even those who exist within them don't always understand what the hell is going on. If walls could talk, mine would be communicating in a an indecipherable language - even to me.

My Top 5 Thrifted Treasures + A lesson in succession from a seasoned reseller
Hey, ladies and gents! I have to tell you that thrifting has been my therapy for a long, long time now! To be able to snag a great brand or rare find for a super low price literally gives me the same kind of butterflies you often hear are synonymous with falling in love. I can’t explain exactly why I feel this way about thrifting; but, the why doesn’t really matter as long as it’s something that makes you happy and is helping you and others!

Lashes for Days
Okay, guys, see that photo above? It's of a picture that I took of my 5 year old little boy who had just picked me a tiny bouquet of garden flowers and leaned in to give them a sniff. However, when I first looked at the photo, I saw what I do everyday when I look into his big beautiful eyes...those LASHES! Ugh, why do the boys always get, naturally, what we women try so hard to achieve through so many different means, be it false eyelash application, lash extensions, and trying an egregious amount of mascaras out on the market to try to even come anywhere close? Well, I feel like I found the golden ticket and because I am not one to keep beauty secrets or any secrets really, being that I am a writer and I tend to use what I find in my everyday life in my stories in some way, shape, and form, I want to share this this little needle in the haystack of beauty secrets with you.

When the Pretty Things are Gone
I open my eyes, then close them again. This goes on and on for hours, days, weeks, then becomes a running theme throughout my life. Imagine, a ten year old little girl. She has everything. Her parent's love story, my parent's love story is one that truly rivals Spark's, Notebook. I am growing up in a beautiful world, where I am surrounded by nature, lakes, trees, friends...two parent's who seem to have it all, and do, really. They manifested this life I live within and without now. I am precocious and sassy because I am too intelligent, emotional, and an only child. I have learned how to love but I have also learned the delicate art of seduction way too young. I am not referring to seduction in the sexual sense, but rather in the manipulative one. I look for ways to ensure that I get what I want. It comes easily to me; I am never chided for it. I spend my days riding my bike all over the place with friends, going water-skiing and tubing on my lake, well, the lake I grew up on. The dock sits overtop of it at the end of my yard. Everyone around us owns speed boats; we called them motorboats when I was a little girl. Everyone around us has a nice home, comfort...money. I have tons of little friends on rotation. They live within biking and walking distance and we play together and sometimes in twos for years, all growing up together in our little utopia, lakeside and golf course community. I see, hear, and think no evil. Everything is safe.

How to Organize Yourself to Happiness
I love to clean! I was born under the sun sign Virgo, and like my chart implies tidiness, order, and trying to achieve perfection have been running themes throughout my life. The pleasure center of my brain is truly stimulated by newly vacuumed lines running across a clean carpet; it's okay, you can laugh. The term "neat-freak" has always registered in my brain as a compliment not an insult, and I tend to find peace and solace in creating and maintaining a clutter-free lifestyle.

Strangers, Secrets, and Games
It dawned upon her right then, as Hayden stood, shaking in the cold rain. She was clutching the little black book that the man in front of her had dropped, realizing just how infamous it truly must be if even she knew some of the names inside it's pages. Like a school roster, she couldn't read aloud in fear that if she did she would be marked, like the scarlet letter, having literally called out the names of those possibly involved in committing heinous crimes that she couldn't bear to think of, dare to speak of. She began wondering to herself a myriad of foolish, frightening thoughts. The first, being if those around her knew that she knew?
