This post is the final in the road trip […]

No Macaron Left Behind

If you know me, or even if you’ve met me briefly, chances are you know that I’m equally torn between a love of eating healthfully and satisfying a strong sweet tooth. Case in point: When I started job searching in Sydney, I was immediately offered trials at two locations…one an organic food store and the […]
