Welcome to Millennial Houseplant!
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…

Nine hundred seventy six thousand words and counting
This is my process for blogging: I open my laptop, login, and then I stare at the screen wondering what the fuck I should do. It’s very similar to my process for writing. Sometimes I will go through and look at the website site itself (what a novel idea*) as if that will give me…

The “epochs” of my life (so far)
I’m stealing this from a post I made a few days ago on Threads. I was thinking the other day about the “epochs” of my life as an elder millennial and how they are defined by two of the biggest events to occur in my lifetime (and as a millennial there is a LOT to…
