Well, I’ve relapsed. Again. Calm down. I mean on coffee. It’s actually not that big of a deal. But lemme backtrack a few steps for those of you who’ve not been updated and know me as a life-long caf-fiend who always swore a life of death before decaf. A few months ago, during my #30daysofnewthings challenge, I opted to nix the gargantuan pot of coffee I might as well have.. Read More
#30daysofnewthings: the heartest challenge yet?
