my tummy valentine

what a sweet valentine's week full of shugga and more tummytizing festivities: 

walked into the office thinking it was just another day, then...
alas, the benefits of working with primarily women
{who bake nonetheless}. go women power!

this week was certainly full of warm + fuzzies for both the heart + belly. but what's real funny, my valentine, is that i've come to the realization of why i have this unexplainable, unavoidable, and uncontrollable sweet-sweet shugga tooth. i was, quite possibly, manufactured at willy wonka's factory in good ol' candyland, u.s.a.
