Phew! We’ve officially made it past my least favorite part of any year (I REALLY don’t do well with winter, guys–it just gives me the blues), and I’m feeling all sorts of invigorated about the month ahead because we’re about thisclose to spring! Parts of February were really frustrating because of the back problems I’ve …
You expect that most posts where someone has just come off of some kind of sugar detox would be filled with enthusiastic epiphanies all about how the month started bad and then miraculously fixed everything wrong with the person’s gut, skin, and emotional health in general, which would then be rounded off with a dramatic …
