Ugh Joaquin…I am, well WAS, such a huge fan. Madly in love after his Johnny Cash debut. I hope he comes back to his semi-normal self.
Love the photos, Katie! You and Lurch would make a great couple.
And Joaquin… I’ll never figure it out. Have you seen him in the film SpaceCamp? Haha.
Mmmm… zucchini! I have some raw zucchini sticks in my lunch too! Great minds think alike.

I adore the song ‘Monster Mash’ and always have a huge grin plastered on my face whenever you make your version or reference it.
I think my favourite shot is the Incredible Hulk picture…how’s that for a Green Monster

OMG, I have been dying to try coconut butter and raw cacao powder!!!! Honestly anything on that site would be AMAZING!!!!
Hi Katie!
I’d definitely want to buy some coconut butter – I’d use it with fruit, to make chocolate-coconut-frosted fudge babies, or on carrot cake muffins. I’d also definitely buy some seaweed. Now that’s summer is on its way, its a good time to use it to make a salad.
