Brainstorming

I talked about strategizing for all of the summer KALs

From the Armchair

This episode I reviewed the Helen Japanese Knot style bag from Pearl and Plum which I really love and encourage you to check out.

I also reviewed Plum Deluxe Tea which is delicious, organic and affordable! Check out their website. I’ve tried and enjoyed these three: Coconut Macaroon Dessert Tea, Mindful Morning Blend- Earl Grey Tea and Reading Nook Blend Tea

I talked about a screener of a film that was sent to me. Film is called Yarn by Una Lorenzen. Find the list of screenings around the world here. Follow them on Facebook or check out the trailer.
