Thursday, January 4th, 2018 I was posting my Paris recap blog posts very regularly for a while there.

I couldn’t hit “Publish.” What it boils down to is this…I didn’t want theContinue reading “An American in Paris: Day 7”

An American in Paris: Day 5
Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018 Travel Journal Continued… “Before coming to Paris, I was starting to feel, or rather have felt for a while, like I lost my adaptability, my spontaneity.

He lives in the numbers! Especially when it comes to a woman’s weight. AndContinue reading “Bon Appétit…Literally!!”
Thrift Store Cosplay Day 14
Day 14: Aladdin Aladdin is one of my all time favorite Disney movies. It’s neck and neck with Lion King for me.

Thrift Store Cosplay Day 9
Day 9: Fairy Godmother from Disney’s Cinderella (1950) Everyone’s always giving all the love to the Disney Princesses, ok…I know…me included.
