For some reason, I'm up late and my mind is running about so much. Things have been pretty interesting the past couple of months. I've been to three different locations of my company and finally have settled at a location which is pretty close to home. I am in love with working in the city.

I have two in the colors Berry Me and the limited edition Black Rose. Here are swatches of both. I really recommend picking a few of these up, they are pretty amazi
