Every year, my very lovely friend Beck writes a satirical review of all the items on Oprah’s Favourite Things For The Holidays. It’s one of MY favourite things, reading her review. This year, she did not stop there, no, not Beck. She instead created her very own dream team of bloggers to write about their […]
