One Year Shopping Free | Life By The Sea
So, yesterday…I turned 32! And I can hardly believe I’m in my 30’s still. I truly feel like I’m 25 but I don’t feel how I felt at 25…if that makes sense. There is a wave of maturity that I kind of love along with maintaining a playful mentality that keeps me feeling for lack…
