25 yr old lady that is working on being a better me. I want to do everything I can to prevent diabetes in myself with how prevalent it is in my family. On a superficial level I want to be a glowing bride in a dress that I can pick off the rack if I want to. I want to look/feel good in lounge pants on a lazy day.
