My Top Tips for Making Exercise a Priority
I have a confession, the new year makes me anxious. I have so many ideas that I don’t know where to start or what to focus on… pair that with the after Christmas limbo and it’s the perfect storm for overwhelmed thoughts and emotions. So what’s a girl to to do when she feels like […]
