I think it’s only natural for authors to draw influence from the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic (circa 2019-2021) — it’s so surreal to think we’re five years removed from that — and it’s cool to see something like this hit the shelves. It’s a backdrop that is perfect for crime/mystery/thriller novels and Read more
Welcome back everyone! It’s been six months since I started my Project Pan & Use-Up: Lips, Face & Eyeshadow Edition at the start of 2025, in mid-January, and now it’s time to check on my progress! I’ve been setting products aside every time I finish them or meet my goals Read more
Does anyone else feel like they see Rocket Money ads and sponsorships everywhere?
