Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindlly.

About Me

Life's blows cannot break a person whose spirit is warmed at the fire of enthusiasm.life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. if you get a chance, take it. if it changes your life, let it. nobody said that it would be easy, they just promised that it would be worth it.

My Interests

the people I love, makeup, wine, yoga, books, hot tea, people who are different from me, M.A.C. - not just the makeup but also the company and the people who work there, back porches, color, learning, laughing, the things that warm my spirit, politics and vintage vanities.
