Delicious desserts and sweet treats have the power to invoke our fondest memories. My favorite nostalgic cheesecake memory involves love.

When we first started dating, to woo me, she ordered a strawberry cheesecake to be sent special delivery for Valentine’s Day. To commemorate our first […]

Online dating sites and dating apps have revolutionized the way we connect, date and hook-up with people. Although dating apps have seemingly made connecting easier, they’ve shed light on a major problem women having been navigating for decades: the abusive retaliation by rejected men.

The first sentence of this enticing novel reads, “She was accustomed to coming here; she was an assassin embroiled in a sultry web of blackmail and deceit.” Well, that did it for me. For one […]

Reading is definitely one of my favorite hobbies. I especially love reading books that are outside my comfort zone. A nice, quick read is always a fun way to start the new year, so this January I read Speed of Life by Carol Weston. While this book is more geared towards teens and pre-teens, I still enjoyed reading it. Author […]

Abiding by the withstanding adage about book covers (you know the one—say it with me: you can’t judge a book by its cover), I didn’t let that deter me from devouring the content within.
