Rest, Recovery, and Renewal

As a women’s basketball fan, an exciting time has begun for me – the WNBA season.

I don’t care what anyone says, I like to take certain times of the year and give meaning to them – New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, the beginning and end of a season, and yes, my birthday.

Replace That Unhealthy Afternoon “Pick-Me-Up” With This Instead

We’ve all been there… 2 or 3 o’clock hits on a weekday afternoon and we find that our energy is zapped. This is usually the time when it’s tempting to grab another cup of coffee, an energy drink, a soda, or a sweet treat for that little mid-afternoon “pick-me-up.”

What to Buy (and not buy) Organic in 2019
