Holiday Sips

I love all the fun holiday flavors.. peppermint, gingerbread, eggnog, mint chocolate.. love love love! Unfortunately most of the time they come in not-so-healthy mediums. Of course a cookie here, a candy cane there and perhaps a little eggnog won’t do too much harm.. but I’ve never been particularly great at moderation.. especially when it comes to such yummy treats!

I started my current internship in September and I’m fairly certain they think I’m completely incapable of dressing myself in any attractive fashion. None of my work clothes currently fit me.
