Hey folks, I’m back! This was by far the longest time I spent away not just from posting, but the business of blogging. I had big ideas about creating videos, beauty posts with pictures or videos, redoing the things that bug me with the look and usage of the blog but really I just spent…
Last night I got home from work, went upstairs to change into lounge clothes and saw that someone had messed with the presents. I had wrapped 3/4 of them, and hid them all in the corner of the room under a pile of blankets. I came downstairs to find out Karl had moved the blankets…

I had a couple of you contact me asking for gift suggestions so I’ve decided to do some mini gift guides for different types of hard-to-please folk, all items under $100 with free shipping. Today it’s for the music lover in your…
