Book Review: Younger

Book Review: Younger

Younger by Suzanne Munshower My rating: 3 of 5 stars I don't normally read mysteries, thrillers, crime novels, etc. but it was a freebie from Amazon so I figured I would try it. It was a rough start for me trying to fit the pieces together but once I got into it then I was hooked. It wasn't … [Read more...]

Swimwear Police

We are heading into summer now so swimsuit season is upon us. We have the luxury of being able to wear anything we want to (even if we sometimes shouldn't) on the beach and at the pool. It wasn't always this way and I know you have seen photos of old "swimming costumes." The photo above is from … [Read more...]

1920s Petting Parties!!

The NPR History Department recently posted an article about petting parties of the 1920s. Have you ever heard of such a thing? These two couples look like a lot of fun! This generation was poised to break free from their parent's generation and let loose the uptight morals and experiment. I don't … [Read more...]

I 💗 sending and receiving happy mail! One of I 💗 sending and receiving happy mail! 

One of my very favorite artists, @emily_jeffords, has started a monthly fine art collectors club by mail. June is my first month and it is focused on finding inner peace and the value of a life full of pleasure. 

For $12 a month, it includes beautiful artwork titled “When She Smiles”, a letter full of thoughts, a touch of perfume of the month to inspire your senses, affirmation or poetry of the month, and a curated music playlist. One day, I have a dream to actually own an original piece but for now these small prints will do. 

I framed this month’s artwork and took it to work to join the other framed pieces I have in my cubicle. Why have an ugly cubicle?

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…
