It’s wild how I went from not using to TikTok to using it every day since CK introduced me to BOOKtok. And @crissle.com is right.., my For You page knows my vibes. I’m hooked. Find me there: www.tiktok.com/@meritaapple...

Me painting with all the colors of the wind…

I too live with this harsh reality.

It’s going to be a good day.

Hold up, hold up. I think after all this time of him not being on my radar… I think I like Tyler the Creator. Two for two at least on songs I heard on reels. Added them to my library and everything!

What are yall reading? MY CURRENT READ 👇🏽

Me? I’m at a function being an awkward turtle because apparently that’s the me that showed up today. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Not my uncle texting me at 1am asking about ordering cookies from me. Sir, that is not a 1am text. That’s a 1pm text.

February cookie flavors are here! If you’re in TN, let me be your cookie plug! Find me on my baking IG: @MeritaMadeIt

I’ve spoiled my boss. He’s my biggest baking fan. But last time I brought cookies he asked if I baked them that morning and I said, “no last night.” He clutched his pearls and said… “DAY OLD COOKIES?!!” He still took one though lol. Just spoiled.

I gotta fit podcast back into my rotation. I’ve been deep off in audio books and I don’t know how to mix in now lol. I gotta find out what’s going on with these dragons!

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I enjoy the the nerdy chit chat in my DMs after I post what book I’m reading. 🤗

Every time I see an ad for Skyrizi, I wish it was Snoop Dogg telling us about it.

Ditto.

😆😆😆

A mistake I still haven’t learned not to make. I do this at least once a month. 🙃

Hanson is probably the biggest influence on my songwriting. Bigger than all the artist people always say I remind them of. But I guess you just don’t listen to Hanson to notice the similarities. And maybe you should be… listening to Hanson.

Test baked a new cookie today. Whew. It might be my new favorite. Can’t wait to drop these carrot cake cookies as one of the monthly flavors.

I’ve zipped through about 7 audio books since my fav podcast been on vacation. lol. Apparently I won’t listen to the other podcasts that have kept posting. Not until @friendzonepod.bsky.social is back I guess.

Running my little fresh baked cookie fundraiser has been a source of peace for me. I get to raise money to put towards making music. But also it’s a good way to spread a little joy. Everybody so happy eating up the cookies. 🤗

BAHAHAHA!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Watching NATIONAL LAMPOON CHRISTMAS VACATION for the first time ever. What Christmas movies are yall watching?

Cookies for Santa. Maybe he’ll come early. 🎅🏾💜😉

Lmoooo I can hear the trombone as read this 😂😂😂

@friendzonepod.bsky.social This last episode of one my other fav podcasts [Armchair Expert] interviewed the Godmother of AI, Fei-Fei Li. Thought @heyassante.com might maaaaaybe like it. It’s good nerd listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

People really ordering my baking and wanting it shipped. And you know what? Can do.

Ahahaha!! I just passed this part not even 5 minutes ago. 😂😂😂

I feel like I stay wanting Thai food lately. Lordy.

I don’t know who I’m kidding buying a dozen eggs at a time. Now that I’m selling cookies, that’s just not going to cut it. SMH.

It didn’t occur to me how tricky it would be getting this splinter out with my non dominant hand. 🫠

My friend added me to black girl bookworm groups on Facebook a couple days ago and I’m loving it already. 🤌🏽

Voice messages from my niece are my favorite. 🥰

Come on fine a** fav!!

Dead… my mother. Alive… I dunno probably a working dinner with Max Martin.

When you’re out and some random baby waves or engages with you. Like they can sense you’re safe or that you just need a little happy.

Hm. I don’t think so.

I can wiggle my ears.

I catch the sunset most days. So sunset.

People treat you how you teach them to treat you.

Anywhere with my fav person.

Some unknown diddy I just started writing yesterday.

BBQ Chicken Pizza

Not nearly enough red in my red velvet cookies. Probably need to cut some of the cocoa out tbh. They tasty though.

Red Velvet Cookie dough chilling for a late night bake. 🤌🏽

Wait. 🫠

There’s a shift in the way people look at me after they discover my music. It’s like a switch flicks on in them. Crazy.

It’s been too long since I’ve performed. I really want to get back into that.

I should have bought waaaaay more butter while Publix had the BOGO. Cause it goes fast af with me doing all this baking. Whew.
