Q&A

What is your favourite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?
Rest! We often find ourselves scheduling 100 things for the weekend, and while this is great and worthwhile, it is also important to take out time to recuperate and recharge ourselves for the coming week; this can help prevent burnout.
If you could change professions for one day, what would you choose?
A hot sauce taste tester! (Can anything compete with Tabassco though? Open to debates...)
On a hot summer's day, what kind of bevy are you reaching for?
An ice cold glass of my homemade watermelon juice. Ask me for my recipe!
