As I go along my merry way through the land of the Internet, I come across all sorts of crazy and/or unnecessary things that would be fun to have or just fun to know that they exist.

Try to imagine if you can, getting all jazzed up in your “I am so going out on the town and am going to look amazing” outfit, only to find yourself donning a hard hat, goggles and white painters uniform while being handed a sledge hammer in order to smash walls, closets and bathrooms at […]
Enjoy the day!

I am a lover of art in all its forms. When I step inside the Louvre, I stand in the central court and struggle with which wing to enter first. I know, no one out there is boo-hooing over my dilemma. Living in Paris allows one the luxury of taking in ancient Egypt one day […]
I hold individuals that live life outside the box of what most people’s definition of “normal” might be in high regard.
