I've been publishing since before the turn of the century. I really enjoy writing about my life - and I have loyal followers who seem to think my life is worth reading about. I particularly enjoy writing lifestyle articles. I love to research and write all kinds of articles about a wide variety of topics, including beauty, tea, and travel - not necessarily together. ;)
My research days started in libraries and now, with the world at my finger tips, I have so much fun identifying reliable sources of information. There are many websites that make me laugh because of their silliness. I am not associated with any other cyber teapixies! There are others out there, but they are not ME. :)
