Read More ›I must thank one of my clients for giving me this topic! She mentioned that, in a pinch, she & her husband will stop off at a local teriyaki joint, pick up some chicken skewers to go, and then supplement them at home with a bowl of steamed veggies! How perfect is that? Granted, not […]
Read More ›We all have to deal with this, in one form or another: GRAVITY! It pushes our shoulders forward when we're sitting, holding the baby, riding our bikes or running!
