I didn’t write down the date I became vegetarian. It took me a while to really commit to it. I came around to the idea when I was at a friend’s birthday party and a friend from school walked in who looked like how I would have loved to feel – like perfection. Over the…
With summer winding down and autumn peeking around the corner I’ve started thinking about swapping out my tank tops for fuzzy sweaters and trading my flip flops for a new pair of boots. But to keep looking our best we need to change more than just our wardrobes with the seasons. Did you know your…
