Hi, I’m Crystal.
I am an artist – consider myself to be a creative person (not just because my imposter syndrome would never tolerate calling myself an artist) as I love to write, paint, graphic design, and craft. I’m a middle-aged mom (according to at least one person on the internet) and if you couldn’t tell already by the title of this site or the overuse of parentheticals, I am a millennial. I made my first website in 1998 and haven’t really stopped since. When I’m not working a customary 40 hours to support my livelihood I am writing and publishing romance and romantasy on Amazon/Kindle Unlimited and using my social media to bring awareness to the social and political causes I care most deeply about. If you like what you see or read here then I thank you for your time!

So I accidentally drank mold
I want to preface this post by clarifying this is not a hate post about Arizona tea. They are a cool company, their CEO is a decent dude (which is rare these days lbr) and mistakes happen. But I drank mold on accident and since it happened I’ve been examining every physical response that isn’t…
