Sleep Better, Feel Better

When you think of coast-to-coast travel, nightmare scenarios abound. Delayed flights. Bad coffee. Airport food. Smelly passengers. Crying babies. Blankets that have seen who knows what?

Me-Time Monday: Self-Care Antithesis

February 5, 2012 Lifestyle

I’ve not been taking care of myself. In fact, I’ve done the opposite and let my body go down hill over the past few years. Self-care has been on the back burner until recently and even though I tell everyone they should take time for themselves, I feel like such a hypocrite for not taking [...]
