The Tuesday Tune-Up: Many Places, Many Plates and Many Faces
Hey there! How are you? What’s been going on?
The Tuesday Tune-Up is where we can have a weekly virtual coffee date and catch up a bit.
Last week was a super busy week but now that we’re in June, I’m trying to be a little more Zen about chaos that will soon ensue (school being out for summer).

Learning to #PushFurther with Neutrogena and Landon Donovan
Disclosure: This post and giveaway has been sponsored by NEUTROGENA® CoolDry Sport Sunscreen but the content and opinions expressed below are 1oo% my own.
