This week’s highlight for self-care is something I’ve been adding into my fitness regimen lately; yoga! Lately, at least two-three times a week, I’ve committed to doing at least 20-30 minutes of yoga. A lot of people wonder what you can get out of yoga, or what the point of it is; well I’m here…

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,…

Self-Care Sunday: Reading
This weeks highlight is one of my favorite hobbies in the entire world: reading! Nothing helps calm my nerves more than retreating into the world of someone else for hours and hours on end; which is why I love reading so much! I’ve been reading for as long as I can remember, but I know…
