+ individual style for inspiring women +
Ow, my brain hurts. This has been a week of harsh realities for me and I am in the process of thinking again about how best to transition my ideas for Plus Black from concept to reality. I really need to focus on where I’m at which I guess I’d summarise as: Middle Aged. Menopausal. […]
