Can we make crystal babies a thing? Real babies are a thing. Fur babies are a thing. Plant babies are even a thing. I think that means it's time for crystal babies to be a thing. Crystals have become SUPER popular lately. Obviously, tons of people have been interested in them for thousands of years …
DIY Foaming Hand Soap
I've given up the wonder that is Bath and Body Works and their scents, sales and chemicals. Therefore I need to replace my candles and soaps that I used to buy every season. I used up the last of my foaming hand soaps from them last Summer and made sure to save the containers, but …
Body Shaming, Life Struggles and a Reminder That You Can Fucking Do This
