A Little Piece of Everything

For the record, it wasn’t a little piece. It was the whole cake. If you’re able to purchase a family-sized Sara Lee pound cake and not graze on it all night until it’s done, you win.

Concealed

Beauty is a weird thing, isn't it? It's something that we admire, that we judge, that we aspire to have and that we resent in others. It is not something that can truly be calculated, but it is something that can be altered and adapted. Beauty can be compared to a flower, with vivid color, …
