So. Much. Love.
Folks, this is the face of someone who (yes, has no shame) just made herself CCK’s ONE-MINUTE Chocolate Cake. In a Ritual Coffee mug. (Note the beautiful state of California adorning its side.) Happy Valentine’s Day, lovers. Because with all of you (and chocolate), I’ve got all the love I need.

Creeper Magnet
Highlight of the day: A Turkish woman came up, grabbed my hair and dissolved into a fit of giggles with her two friends. And then walked away.
