Yesterday I wore my underwear the wrong way. Not back to front. Not inside out. I somehow managed to put one of the leg holes around my waist. Which means one of three things: The truly impressive part? I wore them like that all day. And they weren’t even uncomfortable. I guess I was preoccupied….
Recently I needed to get some product photography done for my brand new, super cute, fruit socks. I like to support local businesses so found one nearby. I emailed to ask some questions as there wasn’t a phone number on offer. I was told to mail the socks and I would be provided with a…
Confession time: I’ve never really been one for girls’ weekends. Actually, if I’m being brutally honest, I don’t think I’ve ever been on one. My team once bought me a t-shirt that read “Does not play well with others”— so maybe there’s a hint there. Truth is, I’m pretty happy at home with the old…
