Self-Care Sunday: Lets Get Away…

This week’s highlight is dedicated to something I absolutely LOVE doing: Vacationing!

Self-Care Sunday: Hydration, Hydration, Hydration

I’m going to keep it simple this week and take a page out of one of my favorite podcast’s books, The Friend Zone.  For the wellness segment this week, Fran talked about how she began drinking 3 liters of water and raved about all the positive benefits just one extra liter of water gave her daily,…

#50Days50Questions: Big Money Dreams

If I had a million dollars, how would I spend it? With that much money, I have no clue. Lol. I know I would obviously pay off unnecessary debt, save money for my daughter's future, buy a nicer car and a really nice house. Other than that, I have no earthly idea what I would really…
