Want success? Indulge your evil side…
Veronica is my evil alter ego and co-author of my new workbook Your Alter Ego… Revealed!, a fun, sexy workbook that’s perfect for lazy winter afternoons. Let’s see what terrible advice she has for you today…
North American culture is obsessed with goal setting and achieving shit, which is what The Chariot represents – moving forward, upward and onward. Yay!
There’s just one tiny problem: what happens if only part of you wants success but another part longs for pure sloth and debauchery?
My good twin Kate sets her alarm for 8am every morning. But when it goes off, I am seduced by the siren song of my warm, comfy bed that whispers “noooo….staaaayyyyyy! Just 5 min…” which turn into two hours and then the day’s pretty much shot.
Part of you wants to eat healthy but the other part wants red wine, cheese, chips and chocolate. Part of you wants to save for retirement but the other part wants to go on lavish vacations and buy fancy chai lattes everyday.
Unless you can get both selves on board, you’re pretty much fucked and will go nowhere in life.
So how do you do this? Easy. Don’t deny you’re “evil” side – tempt it.
Tell yourself things like if I get up at 8am and go for a run and eat healthy all week, I get to lay in bed all day on Saturday and eat cookies for breakfast…guilt free.
OR
If I work hard today and get all my tasks done, I will indulge in a feisty gossip sesh with a friend in the evening.
There’s no use trying to be perfect….so just give up now!

Veronica’s tip for making resolutions stick
Veronica is my evil alter ego and co-author of my new workbook Your Alter Ego… Revealed!, a fun, sexy workbook that’s perfect for lazy winter afternoons. While some people are helping the homeless this holiday season, Veronica is buying herself sex toys and eating caramels for breakfast…can you believe it?!
So it’s New Year’s eve eve today and you’re probably thinking up some ridiculously un-fun resolutions.
Like losing weight, saving money or being less slutty.
Don’t. Just don’t.
Instead, make a resolution to meet your inner alter ego and buy my new workbook Your Alter Ego Revealed!
If that’s not a dead-sexy New Years resolution, then I don’t know what is!
But here’s the thing with resolutions: don’t resolve to do something that you don’t actually want to do.
Too many twits make resolutions because they want the results of those resolutions.
Like getting up at 6am every morning to run five miles and drink a kale smoothie. Sure, you might look slightly hotter after a year of doing this, but you will also have just spent a year getting up at 6am to do unpleasant things.
Make the journey as pleasurable as the destination and you’ll be cooking with gas!
Okay, so that said, here’s my 2017 resolutions…
- Make time to nap every day. Every single day.
- Drink more red wine (for the antioxidants, obviously).
- Spend less time on celebrity gossip sites and more time painting scandalous ladies!
What are YOUR 2017 resolutions? Tell me now……

Spending Christmas alone? I envy you.
Veronica is my evil alter ego and co-author of my new workbook Your Alter Ego… Revealed!, a fun, sexy workbook that’s perfect for lazy winter afternoons.
Christmas is upon us… so batten down the hatches and pour yourself a stiff one!
For some this is a time of giving, generosity and helping the needy.
For others it’s a time of buying oneself lavish gifts and rolling around naked in a sea of bubble wrap. Or maybe that’s just me?
But for most people, this holiday is about boring visits with in-laws and distant relatives you don’t give a shit about. Well, at least you can get drunk.
A few years ago I spent Christmas alone. I slept in, ate a box of chocolate seashells for breakfast, watched 21 Jump Street and did go-go dance aerobics dvds. It was the perfect day.
So if you’re spending Christmas alone this weekend, don’t fall prey to all those sappy do-gooders who invite you to their Christmas dinner out of pity. Bleh! You know what to do…

Veronica’s homemade gift guide
International Woman of Leisure by day, whipcracking Tarot Reader by night! Veronica is my evil twin and she’s here to give you some practical gift giving tips, while coming off as incredibly shallow and
So today’s Tarot card is Ace of Wands – take a gooood look at it….
And instead of writing about dicks, I’m going to talk about crafts. That’s right – crafts.
The Ace of Wands is all about getting inspired and creating stuff. So get your ass down to your local craft shop, like right this f*cking minute.
I love shopping at Micheals because I am always the sexiest person in there…and that’s not saying much.
This Christmas don’t go to the shitty mall to buy gifts – that place sucks. Make your own. Be self sufficient for once.
Here is my ultimate homemade Christmas gift list – for ALL the nimwits on your list this year:
The Stressed out Mom or Workaholic
Everyone knows someone who gives too much or works too much and never relaxes. It’s an illness. This person needs aromatherapy bath salts. Will they actually take some time out for a hot bath and use these? No. But that’s their fucking problem.
Ingredients: Epsom Salts (Costco has huge containers of this really cheap), essential oils of choice, glass mason jars, ribbons and that kind of shit.
- fill a large bowl with salts, add essential oils and mix. I usually just freestyle it, but you can probably find exact recipes online. Figure it out.
- Put smelly salts into mason jars and decorate with ribbons and bows. Voila!
Your Boss
Let’s be honest – your micromanaging boss probably doesn’t even deserve a gift from you this year. So have fun with this and make him an expressive collage painting.
Cut out pics of tampons and celebs from magazines and crazy personal ads in the back of the paper and paste them onto a piece of cardboard along with bits of fabric and colored papers. Smear some paint around it and insist he hang it in his office.
This gift works great for inlaws, too.
The Cool Person in your life
It could be a lover, a best friend or even yourself. This person deserves something edgy and unique, something that NO ONE ELSE will ever buy them.
They deserve the Veronica Noir workbook Your Alter Ego Revealed!
Packed with funsheets, quizzes and delightful drawings of cats, feather boas, cupcakes and of course me, Veronica! Part coloring book, part playbook, part journal, this will make the perfect gift for anyone on your list who isn’t a major douche.
*Update: this workbook is no longer available (sorry!)
Who doesn’t like to stuff their faces with tasty treats? Well, anorexics and health freaks – so give them the bath salts.
A tin of homemade cookies is a classic gift. Use GMO flour and refined sugar for the people you secretly hate but still need to give a gift to for social reasons.
And if you’re really lazy, just stuff the tins with storebought cookies. Fuck it.

The dark side of clearing clutter
Veronica Noir is my alter ego – a sexier, bitchier, more daring version of myself. On Fridays I give this tramp free reign over my blog. Let’s see what raunchy advice she’s cooked up for us today….
Just when you are deep in the throes of Christmas shopping and accumulating even more crap you don’t need, this card pops up and says “let go, clear the clutter”
But before you go on an inspired rampage throwing out your boring clothes and all the stupid candle holders and Jillian Michaels DVDs and shit, stop and think for a sec….
How did you end up with all this lame stuff in the first place?
If you’re one of those people who eats junk all year and then goes on a “cleanse” in January, listen up.
How about just stop putting crap in your body? Stop buying stuff you don’t really need! Then you won’t need to clear clutter or cleanse. I mean jeeeeeez!
Okay, now I’m off to the interwebs to buy myself a rotating star projector , at least three blonde wigs and a bunch of sex books.

Bad advice, as usual…or is it?
Veronica is a free spirited tramp who loves to eavesdrop in coffee shops, lead young men astray and of course…read Tarot! Since she’s my evil twin/alter ego, I let her spew her mystical ramblings every Friday on my blog…
The Tarot card of the day is the Five of Wands – a card that foretells arguing, scuffles and petty competition. Fun stuff!
An argument may break out in the work lunchroom today…enjoy it!
Someone may try to one up you by trying to do something way better than you can. Let them huff and puff, who gives a shit.
Your lover may be extra quarrelsome with you this weekend – channel all that energy into hot sex and you’re good to go!
My point is this – don’t try to smooth things over like you usually do. Don’t try to be the whiny voice of reason. You’ll miss out on all the fun.
Instead, be an observer. So sit back and enjoy the shitshow!

Review of Wisdom Keepers Oracle Deck
Three weeks ago The Wisdom Keepers Oracle Deck by Rosy Aronson showed up on my doorstep.
I opened the deck. I looked through the cards. And oh my god….
I felt like I knew each and every person on these cards. When you watch my video review below you’ll see what I’m talking about….
I’ll sum it up quickly for you in case you don’t have time to watch the whole video…
The Deck
I love this deck!
This deck was made for doing self readings. These cards will help you explore different aspects of your self – working with your shadows and discovering hidden strengths.
The Wisdom Keepers Oracle Deck is ideal for both beginners and experienced card readers.
The Guidebook
The guidebook is amazing. Each card/character gets it’s own story and has it’s dark and light attributes, which I love. I always say that every Tarot/Oracle card has both negative and positive aspects and this guidebook really drives that point home.
Each card has a list of deep questions that you can ask yourself for further insights, making this deck a great tool for self inquiry.
I often just ignore the guidebooks that come with decks, but with this one I actually do refer to it quite often because I like the reflective questions.
Own this deck!
The Wisdom Keepers Oracle Deck by Rosy Aronson can be purchased directly from the Artist’s site or on Amazon.
Rosy’s website also gives some more info about how and why these cards were created, which I enjoyed.
