The past few weeks have been—well, y’all know how it’s been. It’s felt like trudging through rotten egg toxic sludge. BUT we’re coming out the other side, people! And I have THREE (!!!) pubs coming in October I’m absolutely stoked about. Here to finding sparkles and joy on crisp fall mornings. 🍂✨☕️
