Life is good. Spring is here.
I bought a Ninja blender this weekend to start incorporating Kale and veggies in my daily grind — I need more than ever to re-focus on my overall nutrition and health. I have been on a slippery slope far too long and it’s at a point where pants that I have fit into for years…
