I know my compadres in the United States are going to give me side eye when I tell you in this post that it’s quite cool here in Los Cabos, especially at night, I know it’s freezing in the Northeast, but for me, this is a new experience in Mexico.

Plus, I am not one to repeat myself and yet, just a little more than a year ago, I showcased Natori’s sleepwear safari in a post called “I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar”. I was focused … Read More
