Windex vs. Clean Food…is there a difference?

“Give me liberty, or give me death” Patrick Henry I realize this quote is a bit dramatic.  But for me, it symbolizes that if I didn’t become liberated from my addiction to junk food, diet and faux health foods that the line “give me death” would be happening far sooner that it should.   While […]

As a (non traditional) college student, my days are primarily filled with college classes, and studying.  Because it had been almost 30 years since I was in a school setting, it took some time for me to get into the swing of things.  I was a hairdresser/personal trainer/strength coach for almost 25 years, so when […]
