Around ChApin & irmo

So, how are your New Year resolutions going? I prefer to call them “life changes” instead of resolutions. I personally feel the need to eat more organic dark chocolate in 2020. Old habits try to creep back in your life to sabotage your plans to eat healthier, get more exercise, keep more organized, and other “life changes” for 2020. I encourage you to keep on focusing on what you started in 2020 and don’t give up so quickly!
