Welcome to Winter!
After a six week break, I'm back. My winterim was a fun mix of staying at home, binge-watching Survivor, celebrating the holidays, and enjoying the Southern Californian landscape, so I'm feeling refreshed to dive back into blogging!

Breakfasts at Collis
As my Snapchat caption suggests, a Collis omelet with a side of potatoes quickly becomes my morning go-to meal, especially coupled with a fresh smoothie!
