  2. bkpyett – Pearcedale, Victoria, Australia – Barbara Pyett has had three children's books published: Lily's Wish, Hats and Forever Bear. Her most recent collection of poetry was published November '22, called 'Enduring Threads.' This is a book of sestinas and she is consumed in writing the next. Her portrait was painted by her husband, Christopher, who is painting Pearcedale people and those who call in. These are being shown next year in an exhibition. Unfortunately the portrait doesn't want to down load, shall try again next time.

  3. Teagan Riordain Geneviene – Body in one place -- mind usually in another – I started the blog, Teagan's Books, as part of my “grand experiment” in indie publishing. However, this blog has come to be quite dear to me. As an indie author, I share and promote the books of others as well as my own. My published works are epic fantasy, urban fantasy, and mysteries touched with magic. Most are set in other eras, probably because I never really felt at home in my own time. I hope you'll stop by, read something, enjoy it, and leave a note saying hello. http://teagansbooks.wordpress.com/about/ Also check out my Amazon Author Page. relinks.me/TeaganRiordainGeneviene

  6. France Engels – UK & EU – The Spoiled Bee was created in 2017 by a mother/daughter combo who are passionate about home made natural cosmetics. After numerous travels to all corners of the globe, they have jointly accumulated a wealth of knowledge and first hand experiences in a wide variety of natural cosmetic and beauty ingredients. From the well-kept beauty secrets of the Pacific Islands to ancient French beauty remedies. We believe nature and beauty is not one size fits all and that is why The Spoiled Bee brings you only the very best of these natural ingredients to create your own custom made cosmetic at home. Ranging from skincare, haircare and mineral makeup ingredients to reusable accessories, we believe nature has provided us with everything we need to be naturally gorgeous! Free of any harsh chemicals, 100% cruelty free, never tested on animals, environmentally friendly and ethical, what more could you ask for? Through our blog and social medias pages, we will also aim to bring you the very best recipes and advice to help you and inspire you every step of the way. A little about our name, the Spoiled Bee comes from the desire of protecting our beautiful bees and of course spoiling them! Did you know scientists agree that if all bees were to disappear from the face of the earth, humanity only has about 4 years left to live due to the lack of pollination? That is why we have decided to offer among many other products and ingredients, a range of bee products which also happen to have amazing properties for your body, skin and hair. Now we know you are probably wondering how encouraging the commerce of bee products will help the bee population? Well, over the last few decades, bee products have unfortunately and often rightly been associated with harsh harvesting and mass production to keep up with the growing demand. We will never be doing that in a million (or trillion) years! We make sure that all our bee products are harvested in a sustainable and respectful manner by carefully selecting trusted bee keepers. All the hives are located in flowery fields and forests, away from all modern pollution and chemicals and the beekeepers always make sure our bees have more than enough honey left for winter. The more hives, the more the bee population of the world will thrive once again so please help us help them! Lots of Love The Spoiled Bee Team Xx

  12. skinnyuz2b – At the ripe old age of thirty-three, I married my hometown sweetie. He was in sixth grade when I graduated, and NO, he was not my sweetie or anything else until many years later. At thirty-six I had my first child and now have four adult children (who chronologically could each be my grandchild). They keep me young or add more gray hairs, depending on which child and which day.
