I’m a self-confessed onion and garlic whore. Caramelized onions and crushed garlic are staple ingredients whenever I’m free styling in the kitchen.

This week presented few challenges that left me feeling stressed. More work kept on adding up as I worked on wrapping things up before I leave and my passport drama was my lowest point this week.
