Confessions of a Blogaholic – Give Me Some Sugar
I’ve done the 21 day sugar detox. The tag line for my blog includes eating right. I eat vegetables most of the day. But at the end of the day, I am still addicted to sugar. Sugar addiction is real. Like any other bad habit, it’s not easy to beat. There are times in the…
