i’m quitting sugar! join me! #1
I’m a sugar addict. Not merely partial to the sweet stuff. I’m adddddddicted. No bones about it.

Girl Knowledge
Several years ago, I was having lunch with two girlfriends. One was a no-makeup, Birks-and-jeans boho gal. The other was a consummate athlete who ran and biked all summer, ran and skiied all winter, and seldom wore anything flashier than a simple silver necklace.
