When I came across AMEN candles, I saw their vessels on a website and decided to just give it a try. I liked the notes, that is the back story. I ordered their sacral and solar candles. The thing about AMEN candles, however, is that they is a little more too them. Each candle is…

When did I get so small?
I don’t know when it happened, but I awakened and realized how small I got. I came to find myself minimized. When did it happen? When did I become so assuming? When did I decide that I won’t take up any more than the necessary space, and would take less than that if you asked…

To dress well
When I was much younger, I would sit at my family’s desktop and play. I would head to Barbie.com where they had a interactive games. For probably hours, I would name the dolls, design their looks, and of course decide what they would wear. When I got older, I graduated to a Land’s End site…

Phlur’s Lost Cause: Like the fragrance, not the name
I kid you not, given the name, I thought trying Lost Cause by Phlur would be a hopeless pursuit. I was wrong. Rather than confirming my fear it would be an irreparably bad choice to spray on myself, I found myself enjoying it. Don’t get me wrong, there was something off putting on first spray.…

I fell today
Yesterday, I fell down. Truthfully, a hook got caught on the bottom loop of my shoe lacing pattern and dragged me to the ground. Today, I told someone that the path was way too slippery today on account of the rain, and then I proceeded to go down it. And of course, I slipped and…

If you’re feeling eclectic, stop here in Asheville
You like things that you friends lovingly refer to as “different.” But you don’t care, you like standing out. You like getting your hands on pieces that others can’t even begin to think of styling and furniture pieces from a time gone by. And it is even better if no one else can find those…
