Just Jess, diary of a fit girl

2017 Goals! So far this year the stage has not called my name. It's not going anywhere. I've done 6 shows in three years and seen the ups and downs.

Of the four of us I was the only one who had any issues with the food. Just more processed than I'm used to.. Plus, I have an issue with dairy and still ate things like pizza.. so not really surprising. The beaches were amazing, we went to Havana for an entire day and ate off the resort.. Would DEF recommend that it ...
