Dear You, No, I'm not from New Zealand. Whatever would make you assume that? Can't a girl just love the word kiwi and all it has to offer? Weird? I accept that. In a green hued-nutshell, kiwi is a joke that's kind of stuck with me over the years. It now encompasses all things awesome, quirky, goofy, swell and interesting (to me) in the world. Read and be kiwi-licious!
