Ahhhhh it’s September (way to point out the obvious Julia) and I’m 100 percent pushing summer out the door like it ain’t no thang.

Reason # 100,000 why I absolutely hate having a website: I don’t understand how the internet works, let alone, a computer. And whenever there is even the smallest little problem with my website (if you follow me on social media, I basically was dying a slow death of mini heart attacks throughout the last 24 hour […]
