Living Creatively

So...how well do we really know each other? Well, this episode is about to expose it all! Join us for a little bonus episode action as we play the game Two Truths and a Lie and put it all out there for the people to hear.

Whooo! Y'all it has been the season of seasons with this third one. While we're trying our best to be hopeful for what's to come, we both are still sitting like deers in headlights asking "What happened?" Join us as we reminisce about this last season and what we're looking forward to in the months to come.

Hello fellow creatives! Well, we are down to the last few episodes of this season and you can tell that Angela and myself decided to release the filter. It gets...interesting over the next few episodes and bonus episodes. Let's just say that you get to know us REALLY well while having a laugh with us. 

Hello fellow creatives! As we are bringing Season 3 to a close, we hope that you have enjoyed this season's episodes! This week we wanted to keep it light and fun as we discuss the music and artist that has us all in our feelings! If you are a music lover like ourselves, tune in to this discussion and let us know in the comments what's playing in your ear these days.

As life begins to settle down and the world starts to open back up, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on all the things we had to be grateful for: new relationships with family members; new homes; the kindness of our friends who lifted us up and cheered us on. Our hearts are full and the laughs are plentiful. Join us as we share all that we're thankful for.
