🐮 BLANCHE BERRY — the southern belle

birthday: the following year, when solo birthdays became sacred

named for and dressed in honor of one (1) Blanche Devereaux — low-cut, waist-cinched, a dress the woman herself would clock approvingly. smells like strawberries on purpose. thinks the room got better when she walked in. no notes, she's right 🍓💋

Hey there, Care Bear lovers! 🧸 I'm here to share my love and passion for these adorable and heartwarming characters.  As a collector since 2020, I've grown to adore the unique personalities and designs of each bear.

While it's tough to choose a favorite, my top two contenders would have to be Birthday Bear and Cheer Bear.  They always bring a smile to my face and remind me of the joy in life! But let's not forget about Sea Friend Bear - her ocean-inspired design is simply gorgeous.

One thing I'd love to see in the future is an astronaut or space-themed Care Bear.  How cool would that be?! Just imagining it makes me want to blast off on a Care Bear adventure!

Most recently, I added Dare to Care and Friends Forever Bear to my collection.  Each Care Bear I choose is based on my emotions at the time, like when I got Cheer Bear during a difficult period in 2020. These cuddly friends are more than just toys - they're a reminder of self-care and positivity. 🌈💕

Hey there, fellow Trekkies! 🖖 If you're a fan of the Star Trek universe like me, you know how captivating and expansive it can be.  From the gripping storylines to the beloved characters, there's just so much to love.  💕

My personal favorite series is Deep Space Nine. 🌌 I can't get enough of the complex characters, like my all-time favorite, Quark. I would love to visit his bar and order a bloodwine! 🍷 And let's not forget about the commanding presence of Commander Sisko, whose journey from anger at Picard to a respected leader is truly compelling. 👨‍✈️

My second favorite series is The Next Generation. 🚀 Any episode featuring Data and Geordi is sure to be a winner! 🤖 And did you know that technically all the characters are vegetarian? 🌱 It's fascinating to see how the show explores different aspects of the human condition, all set against the backdrop of a thrilling space opera. 🎶

One of my new faves is Lower Decks. 🎉 The animation is simply stunning, and the jokes are spot-on - it's like watching Star Trek with your best friends! 🤣 It's amazing how these different series all fit together to create one expansive universe. 🌌💫

If you love Star Trek as much as I do, be sure to check out my Star Trek collection on Amazon! 🛒 From collectibles to books and audio recordings, there's something for every Trekkie.

Totally - I loved this one! Maurice, Chef, and Sadie are an amazing team. the book was very cinematic. Hopefully there's a second book coming! Not a cliff hanger and had an epilogue!

This follows Maurice as she fights against the KKK, monsters, and her own fears.
