I have a confession…
You know how you <<know>> what you should be doing but sometimes you just can’t bring yourself to DO the thing? Yep, that’s me.

Lead in Organic Dark Chocolate?!
Read the forbes.com article here. Recent research shows that many “healthy” brands of dark chocolate, including certified organic, are high in lead and other heavy metals.

The Importance of Self-Care
I see it all the time. The kind, caring individual, once again putting everyone else’s needs ahead of their own. They give and give because that’s who they are, but at the expense of their health.
