It’s summer. It’s hot. It’s time for vacations, ice cream past midnight, and one too many margaritas at the beach. Oh, and also one of my recent favorites…RUNNING! My family (and I) are typical Jersey Shore addicts. (NOTE: Not in … Continue reading

#MotivationalMondays- Body Like An Anaconda
Okay, so Anaconda is not the first image that pops into your head when you think sexy, sleek, toned body. It’s a slimy Amazonian reptile that predetermines its appetizer, main course, and dessert all within a tongue slither. If you’ve … Continue reading
