I have had the absolute please of guest posting for some amazing blogs in the last couple of months but sometimes because they aren't on my site they get overlooked! I wanted to make sure I shared those with you here, just in case you missed them!
Read MoreSo you want to be more active and eat more whole foods but also have to keep a budget in mind. That's great! It's still absolutely possible to live a healthier lifestyle without breaking the bank and I want to show you a few ways to get you started!
Read MoreAre you waiting until things look different, feel different or just plain are different before you start fully embracing your life? Do you feel like all this waiting has potentially made you miss the boat on something you ultimately want?
Girl, I am here to tell you it is NEVER too late. But it's time to stop waiting!

We focus so much on this because we are constantly told that being fat is essentially the worst thing ever and we must do everything in our power to fight it.
