It’s crazy that the last time I posted was around the time … More Back from the latest hiatus…
Today counts as a holiday for my office and thus it’s given me some time to breathe. I’m feeling a little down to earth today holding my BeautyFix April 2017 Box.

A good friend of mine recently sent me this article about courting of platonic friendships. As I’m in the library now and should be studying, I’ve decided to further my procrastination and do some navel gazing. In addition, there is a lovely sculpture outside the window my library seat.
