Becoming Power 4 Pink with Patricia Friberg
For me, pink is one of those colors. I’m not quite sure if it’s the feminine hue or the way it complements my heavy lifting…ahem, giving me the “Yes, I am a woman, and, yes, I can lift that!” attitude, but nevertheless, it reminds me that I am strong, beautiful and can conquer the world—just [...]
30-Day Paleo Challenge: I Tried It!
As you ladies know, I’m always tweaking this or that in my diet to feel my absolute best.
