No Tricks, Just Treats

new candle + book 2

Happy Halloween, everyone! Check out my IG to see what I’ll be dressing up as this year.

To celebrate my 1st day into my “25th” year on earth, I shall burn one of the most savory-scented candles I’ve ever lit: Voluspa’s Rose Petal Ice Cream. Even in a cold burn, the candle smells delish! (And thanks to my Airbnb host for allowing candles in my vacation rental.) To accompany it, a book that’s been on my must-read-right-now list: Marilyn In Manhattan by Elizabeth Winder. Unlike certain people, I prefer to see Marilyn in a positive, empowering light.

Call Me Lex

Why Lex? Why not? It sounds cool and it’s also short for Lexine. I finally found my new pen name!

And don’t worry–I’m sticking with it this time.

I changed all my social media handles (see sidebar) to reflect my new nom de plume. I’m also on vacation at the moment, and I’ll be posting some pics soon, so come follow me!

(Pen) Name Change

The title says it all. As much as I liked “Bria Leone” as a pen name, I’ve decided to drop it in favor of another nom de plume…that I’m still deciding on. My reasons to ditch it are personal, and it’s a decision as tough as coming up with a new name. It’s not just finding a standout moniker; it’s also seeing if the name has been taken by others and taking the time to research it all. It may sound easy, but some of us have full-time jobs that keeps us away from the internet most of the time and also have an upcoming vacation to prepare. Like me. Oh, why couldn’t I have been born as Bria Leone? (Speaking of which, I’ll be keeping the blog’s website name for now until I settle on a new name.)

Ah well, time to hit up the ol’ trusty Pen Name Generator again.
