This month I’m loving to watch some new stuff on Netflix. I think you should be outside and enjoying the weather but…. everyone needs a little netflix and chill sometimes. My first suggestion is a stand up comedy special. I love to watch comedy specials because...

Getting in your walking/hiking in winter is tough. I will admit I have been logging less steps since I got back from Mexico in November. I’m back to it and I can’t tell you how much better I feel after a walk in nature. Can you relate? Here are three of my favorite...
