I can't remember if I've gone into much detail about this, probably not, but I should come clean about something: I cannot for the life of me learn Photoshop. I don't know what it is, I'm pretty good with software and tech in general, I'm eager to learn how to use such a powerful tool …

With Christmas just around the corner, this post might be very timely for you, so pay attention! As I imagine it happens to many of us, the gift I ordered for my friend didn't arrive in time for her birthday. We've all been there at one point or another - whether our fault or not …

Turning 25 was a big deal to me, and I definitely celebrated it as such. I had a blast planning the party, although I felt like two months was too much time, and I drove myself a little crazy coming up with ideas and spending all my monies on Amazon (in Prime we trust!). So …
