It hasn’t even been that long since I’ve written anything here, yet it feels like ages. Time has never passed so quickly, yet at the same time, so slowly in my entire life. The hours and days and weeks pass by in a flash, but I also feel as though I am living weeks worth […]
Yesterday was one of those days that was just extremely stressful. It was like one thing on top of the next and I felt like I was putting out little fires, one after the next. Nothing legitimately bad happened, of course, but the day was exhausting to say the least. With that being said, I […]
Hello and Happy Tuesday! Things have been insane around here and likely the people reading this blog already know (hey Mom and Dad), BUTTTT for the sake of (again) having something to refer to for my future intereview for the Forbes Magazine Billionaire Edition, I am here to tell you the big news!

I haven’t mentioned it here, but we found a reasonably OK place […]
Hello and Happy Friday! I hope you’re taking a moment to check in on this lovely Friday afternoon, but as soon as you read this post, you will shut down your computer and go out and enjoy this incredible weather! I am waiting for some things to finish in the oven, then I need to […]
Bruja’s Bakery has grown from my toaster oven in my little apartment in Lavapies, with a few orders a month, to a REAL oven, and multiple orders per day.

I often talk about, or refer to, Bruja’s Bakery on here, and tag the webpage so that you can all get to it and see what I sell, but I don’t ever specifically talk about what it’s like to have this business that I grew from a toaster oven. I have been working on/in Bruja’s Bakery for […]
