I'm a bit of an at-home mixologist enthusiast, and I absolutely love it! My place is like a mini cocktail lab where I get to play around with various spirits, liqueurs, and fresh ingredients.

So, here's to transforming ordinary evenings into unforgettable experiences, one cocktail at a time! Cheers! 🍹🥂
Do you have a digital photography lover in your life but are unsure what to get them? You're in the right place.

I'm a self appointed knitting junkie! I picked up the hobby when I first started homeschooling. I needed something to do during my downtime when my kiddo was occupied. I didn't want to spend that 20minutes during speech therapy or 45 minutes during dance class mindlessly scrolling on my phone. So I taught myself to knit and 4 years later I'm absolutely in love! These are some of my go to items.
I do crafts! I also go to craft markets and sell my stuff. Most of it is just for fun and because I need an outlet and don't have enough space for all the things I want to make, but it also gives me a sense of fulfillment around creating something that someone else can enjoy. So enjoy :)

Edgy topic, but many of us think about it. Few of us try to learn more. My interest in the UFO phenomenon began in 2020.

If you're up for crazy imaginative, inspiring, and, at times, infuriating reporting on possibly the biggest mystery of all time, check out my favorites below.

Also, I don't currently have anything to recommend that's over 1,000 pieces, simply because I just don't have the space for it, so I have not done those :(
