Food is my love language
The Most Interesting Girl in the World

Martini Glasses Are Fucking Useless

September: New beginnings and more joy on the horizon
I’ve always loved September. When I was younger, it was because it signified the start of school. It launched football season for the lifelong cheerleader in me. As a youth cheerleader, it was also the kickoff of competition season. September
I should probably start seeing a therapist for this…
