As you all may remember, I looooooove books. I love the way they look. The way they feel. The way they smell. Reading brings me the greatest joy. I am happiest when I am in a library. Any kind of library. Libraries are, I believe, the heart of a home. Because I have the attention span… Continue reading Silver Lining Books and Libraries

Fashion SL's: Vintage and Decades
If there is one thing to get my mind off of FBC, it’s fashion. I haven’t talked much about it because I’ve felt so yucky. However, everyday, I try to wear something that makes me feel good because if I feel like if I look good, or at least presentable, (even if I don’t leave… Continue reading Fashion SL's: Vintage and Decades

Plus, you may remember that I DO like a picture-book!… Continue reading Silver Lining Book: Fashion Drawing in Vogue

Brookside Adventure in Los Angeles
First of all, great news in the plastic surgery department (SL)! I am healing incredibly well! Incisions look great and the lady lumps are staying exactly where they are supposed to be. I’m so incredibly grateful that I didn’t have any fluid leakage after the JP drains came out. That can happen, which then means… Continue reading Brookside Adventure in Los Angeles
