I hope you had a great weekend! Anyone else up for watching the Emmy’s tonight? I’m typically not a fan of award shows but one thing I love about the Emmy’s is observing how much TV series have developed and evolved in the last few years and also, how many film stars have fully crossed […]
Hope you’re having a great week! I’ve been traveling for the last few weeks so I’ve been a little remiss on the emails, but I haven’t forgotten you :) .
