October 6, 2014

My sister regularly runs marathons, has running-related tattoos, and even leads her own run club (I designed the t-shirts!). Me? I am not a runner. That is to say, I don’t like high impact exercise like jogging or running, but walking? That I can and will do, along with aquafit once a ...

WWACTV: When Ardo’s away…

Kotex Heads to Comic Con – Because Geek Girls Bleed Too

July 27, 2014
