I recently began shooting weekly Vlogs for my show Feathers and Toast and this past week my theme was Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff where I talked about having gone for a yoga class which I missed and so instead went for a hike, ended up inadvertently scaling a mountain and having my brother talk […]
