We made it to Friday! YAY!! 10. Need to watch a soothing video? Check out this cake decorating video. 9. I’m a knitter. Last year I vowed to knit socks.

Guest Post: Subverting the Billionaire Trope by Angelina M. Lopez
My debut romance novel, Lush Money, is about a Mexican-American self-made billionaire businesswoman.
