What Your Local Barista Thinks of You
I have been working for a well-known coffee shop for about three years now. I know this business far too well, crafted way too many beverages, and trained too many hopeless high school grads. I dream of the day when I get to throw in the green apron and walk out of this hellhole. Now, I know I sound like a bitter employee, but trust me—I used to love my job. Sadly, this place reminds me that humans are indeed pieces of shit.

Indecisive
Life is made up of decisions; some we make while others are made for us. What do you want to eat? Where do you want to live? House or apartment? Cereal or Eggs? Save your paycheck or spend it? Some decisions are extremely easy to make while others can take years to decide on. What do you want to do with your life? That’s the million dollar question.

Country Scented Candles
My name is Monika. I'm a stay-at-home mama who lives in Kansas. I have this at-home job to help bring in some extra income and keep me busy while my kids are at school until they get home! :) I got into selling candles because I myself LOVE candles or anything that smells good, and I'm more than sure a lot of others do too! The smell of them is so amazing, certain oils you get can be so calming. Soooo here we go!!!
