I live in the Northern United States but grew up in Texas. I love my lavender heating pad, tea of all types, and staying indoors when it’s cold.

Booth feels conflicted and guilty … Continue reading Therapy on TV: Bones

So when Netflix spent millions on … Continue reading Spinal Deformation in The Witcher
