Beignets tasted like funnel cake, it was delicious but I could only stomach two of them.

Instant Crushes

-
I am always striving for excellence and my time in the blogsphere has been no different. In my five years of blogging, I have learnt one of the secrets of a successful blog is being true to yourself. I have also learnt that growth is essential to the craft of writing. I learn the most from studying my peers and today I want to highlight these amazing creative women. I admire their work and I have developed instant crushes( Instagram) on them. Make sure you follow them on Instagram and check out their websites. You will not be disappointed.
