  • Waiting to inhale...

    As a wellness entrepreneur whose business revolves around information sharing and the provision services, I often find myself cringing at the amount of self promotion that goes into the process. Wait, I should say the "perceived self promotion" because what I consider marketing, some mistake for a n

  • Are you a slave to your sweet tooth?

    A friend of mine recently asked me helplessly " what should I eat? what's okay? all the information is so contradictory that I feel lost!"

  • Why you should go organic today

    We've all been there: exhausted, glum and reaching for that second or third helping that we just don't need.
