Dear Reese Witherspoon Hey girl. The “hey girl” is okay, right? I feel like we’ve kind of come of age together. I’ve been watching your movies, following your adventures in life and love (although not in a weird, creepy, stalkerish way) since before either of us needed a night serum.

While I’ve added back in small doses of dairy, legumes (seriously, life without hummus is just SAD) and occasional grains like rice, oats and corn, I’m proud to say I’ve been completely gluten free for almost two months.
