2022was something, wasn'tit?Well, sayyour goodbyes because2023 iscomingin hot!
Thank you all for your support during 2022. I certainly had my ups and downs personally, losing one job, but gaining a few more. We had coronavirus for the first time since the pandemic and I lost my smell and taste (which I thankfully got back recently). I launched a new podcast too! But I couldn't/wouldn't do any of this if it weren't for you!
I really hope this guide brings you joy, and gives you some great idea for gifts for you (yes, treat yo' self), your friends, and your family.

Love you all, thank you for your support, Erica
