Health & Nutrition | My Ford Focus Electric #HealthyAdventure

I love adventures.  Big ones, small ones, planned ones, spontaneous ones – I’ll take ‘em all.  Sometimes you can feel like life is getting in the way of having fun, but it’s important to make time to explore.  You have to make time to discover new things about the world, but more importantly, about yourself.

Food & Wine | My Top 5 Healthy Meals with Ritual

For those of you who don’t know, Julio Reyes of FASHIONIGHTS.com and I are not only business partners, but also a couple. With a wedding in the works, we’ve already sat down to talk about a family in the coming years and what that might mean for us.
