Continue readingOutlander: White Heather Symbolism and How It Relates to Claire
I am currently rereading Dragonfly in Amber. There is a scene in which Roger tells Brianna that both the white rose and the white heather were the emblems of Bonnie Prince Charles. I decided to investigate more about white heather, and this is what I found. White heather is especially sacred and magical and brings […]

One of the things I miss most from my working days are high heels. Having two boys does not allow me to wear them anymore. Recently, I have seen some high-heeled shoes that I consider nice to have, especially if you work. They are available at shopbop.com. However, there was a sale going on in […]
