Book Review: Valley of the Dolls

I read the 50th-anniversary version of this book. It had a special intro from Simon Doonan that gave some great background into the author and the storyline and why this was so shocking for 1966. It's the classic tale of 3 women post-WWII wanting to be famous and doing anything over 20 years to get … [Read more...]

Book Review: Eat the Yolks

The first decade of my life was spent in South Alabama in the 70s with access to rural farms. Summers were spent in rural Florida on my grandfather's farm. The food I had then was real food. Fresh from the farm food. Along the way, we moved to the big city and with two working parents, the 80s and … [Read more...]

For the 1st time, I finally purchased the Advent c For the 1st time, I finally purchased the Advent calendar in December from @lettersandlattesllc.

I opened each day up to a cool pen surprise. However, I'm just now getting to actually play with them and do the swatch card she includes, and watching each video for the style of lettering with that pen on the card. 

This was such a cool way to try out new pens. There was only 1 out of 24 that I had tried before so that meant 22 new pens and 1 new pencil for me! And that is saying a lot becuase I have hundreds of pens and pencils in my collection! Great packaging as well. I didn't spoil the surprise and open them all as soon as I got them but waitied for each day. Can't wait for the 2026 version.

Hey y'all! I'm Karen, a Gulf Coast of Florida based purveyor of Southern sass. I'm an Indiana Jones & Anthony Bourdain wannabe. I'm introverted and usually found with my nose in a book and pen/pencil in hand. I'm addicted to yoga, lip gloss, dumplings, and have an intense love for Scotland and Paris. It's been said I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n roll. Read More…
