haha, I haven't jumped on board with the sweet potato toast or the IG business account yet. And holy eff, the gluten-free fad annoys me. :[
There's a kid named Almond running around out there?! (I guess I shouldn't be surprised after Lemon Juice and Orange Juice...)
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I'm pretty sure all fads, from sweet potato toast to going g-free are all just terrible 🙁
I should go search on Facebook for people with the name Almond....hahaha!
