Moving + Coffee

So as most of y’all know, I started a podcast a few weeks ago. And that creative outlet has grabbed ahold of all my thoughts and feelings and emotions and every other fiber of my being over the last few weeks, making me leave this blog out to dry for a little too long.

Incredibly Delicious | Gwenn Goes Local Spot #1

Incredibly Delicious = Incredibly adorable/amazing/perfect. First off- I’m super upset that I’d never heard of this place before. Second off- I’m super thankful for a job that allows me to meet new people, like the man who was in to get his hair washed and cut, who ended up working at this locally owned restaurant.Continue reading “Incredibly Delicious | Gwenn Goes Local Spot #1”
