Mea Culpa: Blame jet lag

Mōrena! Megan here! Happy Saturday.

Just a quick note to say: apologies, no newsletter this week. I am jet lagged (Paris-Singapore-Auckland-Wellington is no joke), and Carl is having the kind of week that makes me want to do some deep breathing exercises.

We will be back on top next week with the quality content you've come to expect. In the meantime, some fun link below. Have a fantastic week.
