An easy going war vet and gumshoe has his life turned upside down when a simple case sets fantastic events into motion. Really Riley Riley Couture Hey beloved! Happy to have you stop by my little corner of the world where I always like to keep it raw, honest, and real. I'm a spicy Latina girly-girl with a twist of tomboy that isn't afraid of much. Throughout my life that lack of fear has always landed me one of two places. Down the wrong road, or down the right road after taking every single wrong turn possible to get there. What can I say, I'm directionally challenged in the car and in life. But I consider it one of my greatest blessings to have done life backwards and upside down because opening up about my experiences connects me with you. I talk about everything from mini rants on mom life, to heartbreak in abusive relationships, but most of all manifesting an unconventional version of happily ever after. Fashion, beauty, fitness, reviews, reality TV, and of course let us not forget reluctant adulting. If you're thinking about it but you don't want to say it, I'm usually talking about it.
