The Fourth of July is … [Read more...]

Self Care: 7 Days of Fruit-Infused Sparkling Water

Something about the bubbles, make it seem like a treat instead of plain old water, and the health benefits of substituting it for all our other drinks have been amazing!

Christmas and New Year’s Morning Mimosas
One of my favorite New Year's traditions is waking up late and staying in my pajamas. My mother-in-law makes her famous cinnamon rolls. My father-in-law cooks eggs and bacon to order and we all enjoy mimosas while we watch the parade. This year, I'm taking on the mimosas and we're putting a little twist on things.
