Hi, I'm Joy =)
I'm sort of a "jack of all trades" kind of gal.
If I don't know how to do or make something I will spend hours researching and learning how to online.
I paint, I build things, I dabble in photography, take cool videos of my girlfriend, do a lot of graphic design, and currently make my own candles! (click on the "candles" tab)
Fun Facts:
I am extremely proud of being a Gay, Latina, Woman (in that order)
​
I am a textbook Leo. Yes. Everything they say about Leos is true. We really are that great!
​
I was born in Chicago but raised in the Central Valley.
​
Iiiiiiii (my girlfriend is over me telling this story) drove and hung out with The Black Eyed Peas when I was younger. They were on tour and their limo driver wasn't around so I ended up driving them to their hotel and hanging out with them. They wanted us (my friends and I) to go with them to Sacramento and I was like yeah, no. My parents would definitely not be okay with that.
​
Spanish is my first language.
​
My grandma's (who turns 100 years old in April 2022) dad used to make his own beeswax candles at home when she was a kid. She hadn't shared this with anyone until she saw me making candles in the kitchen one day. She's super excited and proud of me for venturing off into candle making.
