I was just reminded by another blogger, Dailyjotter2, how beauty is found in imperfection and it’s reminded me to find beauty in myself.

Awesome Food!
I visited here as a mid week treat, to be honest I have been trying to get in here for years but I’m more or a spur of the moment person not a plan in advance person. This is definitely a book in advance place! The food was authentic, tasty, every dish was full ofContinue reading “Awesome Food!”
Tattoo regrets?
Times change. I always wanted a cool tattoo. My first marriage wasn’t a great one and my husband said ‘if you ever get a tattoo we are done.’ So what did I do? Well it seemed an easy way to end it!
