The weekend will be a low-key one (also a nice change of pace) complete with a much needed self pampering hair appointment and some prep work for lots […] Read more…
Me versus my sweet tooth: How I get myself back in check after the holidays.
I am a huge believer of moderation when it comes to healthy eating. You won’t find me on a diet that forbids certain foods forever and ever until the end of time. It just wouldn’t work for me.
