  • Video: Goddess Provisions April New Age Subscription Box Review!

  • Bad Mood Art Collages

    I’m in a mood today, so figured I would share a few ACEO artist trading card collages with a bit of attitude of their own: Find these and more art for sale on my Ebay store! Buying my art is a great way to support me and my blog, and my small artworks make great […]

  • Valentine’s Day 2019 Gifts – Lots of Unicorns!

    I had a good Valentine’s Day yesterday! My husband and I went to Fazoli’s for a casual dinner because we just don’t find it worth it to go to nice restaurants on Valentine’s Day when it is so ridiculously busy and packed. We will go to a nice dinner in a few days when it […]

This past weekend, my husband and I visited a little curiosities shop in downtown Fairborn, Ohio called The Secret Chamber House of Oddities and Artwork. They had this cool […]
