Welcome!




If you've stumbled across this blog it's most likely because you know me in the real world. If you know me, you'll know that I have always had a passion for writing. As all writers will say, writing allows me to express the disheveled thoughts in my mind through a creative outlet. The content on my blog will include: personal narratives, creative writing, beauty/lifestyle tips, traveling adventures, people who inspire me, and my music and book recommendations. This blog is a place I come to unwind and decompress all the stuff that's been weighing on my noggin, in other words, my friend's basement. You know the one? Where the door is always unlocked and you can kick back and relax with friends after a looong day. No judgments. No worries. Just a place to shoot the shit. So welcome, to My Friends Basement.

Story Time: Goodwill

"but what if it doesn't come true?" "Ah, but what if it does!" My entire life I've been an avid thrift shopper. A lot of people don't like to have to hunt to find clothes they like, but for me- that's all apart of the fun. Some people like the risk of gambling at casinos, some with stocks, but my gamble is whether or not I can find what I want for under $20 at a thrift shop. For instance, for the longest time I was searching for a bomber style jacket that could keep me warm during the blistering winter in Flagstaff, AZ. I searched high and low at retail stores but couldn't justify spending $60+ on something that I didn't LOVE. You know what they say, when you know- you know . Anyway, nothing at the mall spoke to me, so I wandered over to Goodwill.  I hoped that they would have the jacket of my dreams, and sure enough in the "Men's" section I found the leather, warm, and cozy jacket I had been searching for. Of course, i...
