I recently started reading a book called, “Saving Wild: Inspiration from 50 Leading Conservationists.” When I initially bought it, I misunderstood the whole concept of the book.

A huge component of why we fail to stick withContinue reading “Why New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Really Work”

December is my favorite time of year. I love the holiday season, the arrival of cold weather (and dare I say it? Snowfall!), sweaters, cute boots, and holiday decorations.

With our first snow rapidly approaching, I thought it a good time to cover a few safety tips for shoveling snow. Shoveling, while incredibly inconvenient, can also be a great workout, especially on a day when driving to the gym may not be ideal or particularly worth the risk of driving in bad weather.
