80 pounds, 10 Inches.

The first thing you need to understand is that it hasn’t been easy. It has been quick. It has been exciting. But easy wouldn’t be the correct way to describe it all. I can say this – I was tired. Tired of being fat. Tired of having anxiety attacks because I knew I could have …

Messy, Beautiful Things.

I believe in things you have to touch to enjoy. I’m tactile and there is nothing better than something that forces me to work on it. I just finished dressing my boots with Montana Pitch Blend. You have to use your hands and rub it into the leather. It smells and feels wonderful as the …
