Read MoreI have been going strong with my fitness journey, and keeping up my workouts at least four times a week, with my goal being five times a week. I am loving this journey. I am so focused on having a healthy mind, body and skin!! As you all know, skincare is so important to me. With increasing my workouts, there was one thing I had to increase, and that was my focus on my skin. With me working out frequently, this prompted me to add a new step to my skincare regimen and that is cleaning my face immediately after my workout with the Olay Daily Facials.

Read MoreI can’t believe it has been a year since I left my corporate job to start my business. I am not going to lie, this year is flying by!!

Running a business is not easy, and there’s days when I question myself and what I am doing, but I keep pushing and I stay motivated.
