Hello All,
Today is Tuesday, that means Tips, Tricks, Tutorials, and the occasional Interview:)
Today is going to be a bit of a lazy post, but definitely reflective of today's overall mood. Today's tips are directly related to the fact that it is 99 degrees outside! Literally, it feels like a heat wave when I walk outside. So...what better way to enjoy the heat than with POPSICLES! Homemade popsicles!
