My Top 6 All-Time Favorite Books

Honestly, it’s been a little while since I’ve read a good book. Lately I’ve started to really miss reading — I miss being swept up in a fictional world or reading on my favorite subjects to become more knowledgeable about them.

On Bipolar and Finding My Own Silver Lining

Last year, I missed my own birthday.

I actually went out to dinner with two close friends for my 31st birthday. But I wasn’t really there. The reason was because I was experiencing my second manic-psychotic episode during that outing.

The Inspiration Behind My Boho-Boudoir Design Style

Since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved design. It actually started with my childhood dollhouse. My first was a Playschool plastic dollhouse, which I received as a Christmas gift.
