I was recently scrolling through a tumblr blog when I found a post about introverts,…
If you haven’t realized it yet, the day of hearts and chocolate comes in less than two weeks. Valentine’s Day instils a certain warmness in the cold February air (thanks polar vortex). Something about Valentine’s Day just gets me thinking in pink and red. I have a strong urge to buy heart shaped chocolates by…
