I’ve been working from home for 3 years, and splurged on this in the first Read more

Sorry, but I will never feel the same way about vegan cheese that I do about these thighs and I’m fine with that!

I don’t have anything made with leather or canvas. I have a degree in art history, an eye for design and I’ve been collecting 50ies pieces for years. I know what I’m doing, but thank you for mansplaining something I’m an expert at Read more
