When I left Columbus for Los Angeles, the last person I saw was Alexis.
I passed on some of my most treasured possessions to her….or rather, all my perishable items which I couldn’t pack in my suitcase. For those who follow me on Snapchat know that this ‘package’ of sorts included- Coconut flour, a Tupperware with a tablespoon or so of gluten free oat flour, a Tupperware with 7 or so dairy free chocolate chips, protein powder, peanut butter, gluten free oatmeal, gluten free oat bran, random plastic containers and other bits and bobs.
