cbr13bingo Self Care  Self Care to me is having fun. Halloween is fun (I mean CANDY????) and costumes (I have had more fun with costumes as an adult then I ever did as a kid, and I had some crazy fun costumes.

Reading books. All types of books. Big ones, small ones, picture books, novels, poetry… […]

You can follow them on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites. They have a handful of sites where you can buy their work. I found Never, Never Quit on her Etsy page, so it might not be the easiest find, but worth it. If you know Hallion’s work, you know that they are […]
