As the all-time champion of picking the wrong dudes and settling for douche-bags, I’ve had my fair share of late-night-Adele-soundtracked-weeping-fests.

Friends first and co-owners second—Jon Neu and Colin O’Doherty have taken that quote straight to the woodshop. Pallet House Furnishings was created after the two friends realized…

A good friend of mine invited me to the Keyholder event, last evening. She had an extra ticket and thought it would be something I would be interested in. I did some research and saw that Melissa Etheridge would be being interviewed. I immediately thought that I could, in no way, relate to a thing…

I live and die by CS Lewis quotes. If you know me, you know this. So when I walked out of my boyfriend’s condo this morning in Snobby Richville, Ohio to see that the passenger side window of my car had been shattered and my WORK laptop had been stolen—the first thing that came to…

I’m going attempt to…

In the morning When I get up I get dressed And I go I think of how You’d kiss me Tell me “Baby, please be careful Be careful” What kind of warning was that? What kind of mornings were they? I don’t think I could go back I don’t think you could…

I want to empower women. I want people to be afraid of the women I dress. Alexander McQueen When’s the last time you felt empowered? When’s the last time you felt strong or confident or like you had the authority to do something? Or rather, to do anything? My answer might surprise you—or might…

Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all. Soren Kierkegaard I had a meltdown, last night. I don’t hesitate to use the word “meltdown” because that’s exactly what it was: a stream of tears like lava pouring down from the eruption that just occurred in my brain. Woo. Talk…

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.” Virginia Woolf I posted, what I thought was, a pretty laughable photo on Instagram, on Monday. It was a black and white photo of a body-building, bearded, black model lying in bed with his dog. My friend Tonnisha and I have a slight obsession with…
