    Full moon in Leo

    Tomorrow is a full moon! It’s the first full moon of the year! So look to the sky tonight, tomorrow morning, and tomorrow night. You don’t want to miss it.

  • Thoughts on relationships & defending yourself

    Today, I’m drinking a chai tea latte, very frothy! My mom would always tell my siblings and me not to date in high school, and she certainly had a point.
