From the Blog: “There are no amounts of emoticons that make up for the lack of communication cues that are lost in text communication especially when communicating with someone new.

From the Blog: “Starting in your 30's your metabolism drops 2 to 5% per decade. In simpler terms, it becomes harder to utilize calories as we age. The good news is that you can help combat the decline, and keep your metabolism up. The trick is working with your lifestyle and curbing bad habits we develop with such busy schedules.”

From the Blog: “Although I did everything in my power to prevent cancer, I still got cancer. However, the primary tumor was smaller in my breast because I did have a preventative mastectomy 5 years ago. I am thankful for that! I know what you're thinking, ‘How can it be? How can someone get breast cancer after having a preventative mastectomy?’”
