My mom found my old Disneyland silhouette from when I was five and mailed it to me, so I made an updated portrait of me 20 years later to hang next to it. I think the pair looks pretty cute, if I do say so myself!

My favorite summertime salad consists of sliced peaches, arugula, and goat cheese crumbles with honey and a little bit of olive oil drizzled on top. So fresh and tasty.

i've had the tiramisu cake pop and it was pretty gross. way, way too sweet and the texture was unappealing.
