  • It’s always a relief with Theramu.

    Over the last couple of years, I’ve been looking for different ways to ditch my need for prescription medication.

It started Saturday morning with a scratchy throat and continued to Tuesday, for which I popped as many Airbornes as possible. Come Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning I was burning up. So…

Yeah, I officially become three decades old and will begin to live à la Rihanna’s Pour It Up video – wearing mink coats through shallow waters, throwing Benjamins haphazardly in the air as strippers twerk and swing on poles, calling Jay up to close…

  • I DID IT! Finishing a 21-Day Yoga Shred Challenge

    On Tuesday, July 19th I started a 21-day challenge that I told no one about. The reason for this secrecy was because I have a habit of telling people of my embarkments, and most times not following through. Like, a couple of years ago, I was moving to Portugal. I started learning the language, researching…
