My mom and sister were particularly excited for me to open my gifts, as they had already informed me that they’d chosen the perfect gift.

I’m invested in the stories of the athletes, and carefully choose my heroes. I’m so over Michael Phelps. I adore Gabby Douglas. Honestly, I feel like a kid again. Back in those… Read More »

I don’t recall anything else we ate that morning, but I do know we had a delicious breakfast bowl with a fried egg and kimchi. I’ve been craving it ever since. The funny thing is that I’ve been making a similar… Read More »
