We've all heard the phrase, 'opposites attract.' If you haven't... oh, who am I kidding? You've heard it. It makes sense that we like to say that. When we think of magnets attracting each other, it's the opposites that do. When it comes to atoms, the positives and negatives attract one another. So it only … Continue reading Opposites In Love?
I Went On a Blind Date… With a Book
I've seen this trend of going on a blind date with a book on social media plenty of times and I always thought it was an interesting idea.

So it's been just over a week since my birthday, and I honestly meant to get around to this post earlier... I just didn't. The day was well spent.
