Vegamour: Plant-based Beauty and Wellness

Dear ones, I have fallen so far behind on my blogging and blog reading and LIFE.  I do not know how others balance life and blogging.  Then throw in a family.  A career or even a part-time job.

So I bought my own letter jacket at @hm . So what if it isn't in the school colors. And comes 47 years late. @oldnavy overalls (had my last pair that same senior year '74-'75) and @kohls
lilac turtleneck.
