Thursday Thankful List: Coachella and Other Things

April 17, 2014

Disclaimer: This isn’t necessarily a food post, but it is a peak into what I do outside of the sugar. It’s very easy to get caught up in the routines that make up everyday life. Routines, while necessary to a point, have a tendency to coerce us into a process of normal, then boredom, then…
