Lauren Fix’s The Bag Fix In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve known Lauren Fix for probably more years than she cares to remember. I played the role of TV Producer and she, the role of TV Host on a show called Talk2DIY Automotive. That seems like a different lifetime, but it was a bonding [...]
