A Day In My Life: Anne Novek
I can’t be the only one who is obsessed with those ‘A Day in My Life’ videos on YouTube. Surely, out of all the thousands of viewers these videos get, there has to be someone else who is willing to admit that they LOVE getting an insight (even if it is an edited one) into […]
