This weekend I made rotis 😌 You read that correctly: I (Melody) made rotis. Full disclosure, my mom and I made them together, but still. In my family, everyone can cook. My grandmas, my mom, aunt, cousins, sister... all of them are wonderful in the kitchen. It's not even fair. For example, I remember when [...]

And subsequently falling flat on my face Hi lovelies, Missed me? It's okay if you didn't, but I'm gonna explain the sudden hiatus anyway. Bear with me, it's a bit of a thing. Grad school. A company.
