So I have recently, reluctantly, decided to pay more attention to what’s going on on the internet. I mean, I keep somewhat abreast, but I’m going to try to be more cutting edge. And stuff. That means I have to play a whole lot of catch up before I can even fathom what/where that cutting […]
So I’ve decided to do it again. Last year, I did the master cleanse for about ten days and it was awesome, so I thought I would do it again. After spending the two weeks on vacation where I got a decent amount of exercise (sorta- I was in the sun, which feels like exercise […]
