  • Find Your Fall Motivation

    Some mornings are tougher than others and today was one of them! It’s Monday and I am tired.

    Have you ever heard of Eating for your Blood Type? I’ve been doing some looking into eating certain kinds of foods and the effect they have on different people and thought this was an interesting idea. There are some out there that say it has no effect – but I would imagine it has at…
