this year is off to a wild start. we may only be five days in but i'm already in need of a cocktail.

there are some exciting things brewing in the background over at newfoodtuesdayz headquarters. i'm building my yoga schedule back up now that the new year has started and in the last week i've booked a full months worth of cake and catering business. twenty-eighteen, i love you, but slow down a bit.

so i'm taking a breath on my couch with a slightly sweet and very refreshing tequila drink.
