So, I did a thing... I HAD A BABY!!! On December 14, 2019 my beautiful baby girl, Yiannis, was born via C section after 2 days of labor. I thought I would have a smooth labor and delivery experience considering the pregnancy itself nearly TOOK. ME. OUT! I went ghost soon after becoming pregnant (only… Continue reading Pregnancy in Review
It’s Called a VAGINA!
Well...actually the parts I'm referring to are collectively called a Vulva, but you know what I mean. **trigger warning** This post mentions sexual abuse.

If you haven't watched… Continue reading Restoring Innocence
I Miss You!
Yes, you! The blogging community. There is something so pure about letting my creative juices flow through the keys onto this computer screen. It's different from recording videos.
