Alright my fellow short ladies, I need help! Where is everyone getting pants from?? None of my go-to stores carry petite sizes or short sizes in the store anymore and I really like to try stuff on before I buy since women’s sizing sucks. Spam me with all the petite/short friendly stores!

It’s that time of year when I start applying moisturizer to my face three times a day to avoid looking like a flaky pastry. Yay winter!

Bit the bullet and bought a new MacBook to replace my dead laptop. Send me all your tips and tricks for a PC girlie making the switch to a Mac.

Thinking I may pull the trigger and get my first MacBook. I’ve had an iPhone for over a decade so I’m mostly familiar with iOS. Anyone have any pros or cons when using a MacBook for writing or research?

The worst has happened - my computer stopped turning on. Thankfully, the latest draft of my current work is with my agent. But I had several WIPs saved that I hadn’t backed up to a flash drive yet. Let this be a lesson - always back everything up right away! #writer #writerproblems

It’s a great feeling to put on an outfit that makes you feel great and then to have strangers compliment how you look in public. I love women supporting women and to the ones who told me they liked my outfit today - thank you ❤️ #womensupportingwomen #girlcode

I’ll admit it. I love the new Taylor Swift album. It took me a couple days to listen to it because, life, but it so fun and still so lyrical. #TLOASG #taylorswift #swiftie

Sent the second draft back to Rebecca for another round of edits. It’s going to be a long few weeks waiting on the MS to come back and to hear her thoughts on some of the changes!

I see you there, putting in the work. Keep at it. Write that thing. Paint it. Sculpt it. Compose it. Photograph it. Play it. Record it. Choreograph it. Draw it. Cook it. Knit it. Whatever. Keep making art.
