I Don’t Call, I Don’t Write…

I know, it’s been a while. First I launch a bunch of articles about well-fitting bras, natural hair care and my curious affection for Bruno Mars, then I dabble in food writing and travel, and then I disappear without so much as a swoosh after a few slightly downer posts about anxiety.

Well, friends, I have to be honest. As much as the Torrid Forties is about rocking your gorgeous greys, loving you
