I’m Val, a -based art director.
If my accent doesn’t give it away within five minutes, just ask me to say coffee or bad and you’ll get it.
What makes me me?
My love for food is UNREAL. Whether it's pizza, lobster, sushi, tacos, you name it, I'm in. I blog all my food experiences on Instagram @the516foodie
I had a phase of breaking things - specifically my own bones. Five different body parts? Check. Shattered spine? Been there, done that (thankfully, recovered now)
Most people start their day with coffee… I run on a Starbucks Strawberry Acai Refresher. Every. Single. Day.
