Ryan and I started this healthy living challenge 2 days ago. I credit my friend Allison for using her voodoo lawyer magic on me and convincing me to try this out with her. She started a few days ago and she's had immense success very quickly dropping some weight she was hanging onto and just … Continue reading Arbonne 30 days to healthy living
giving grace
You know when you get your identity from something, or at least that's what it feels like? It becomes a big part of how you define yourself. Everyone has their thing, but what happens when you don't feel good at it anymore? Attribute it to being recently postpartum. Maybe it was affected by the stress … Continue reading giving grace
