Hello Healthy Geeks! I hope you all are having a great summer so far! This is a quick video sharing a new healthy snack that I found and am loving right now- it’s these Baked Apple Chips.

Fashion
Every summer I buy one really good pair of wedges or sandals that I can wear almost daily. I found my shoes for this summer- my Cathy Jean Sling Back Wedges. I can honestly say these are some of the most comfortable wedges I have ever worn! Because there’s a platform of 1 1/2 in [...]

Paris
Before we get started on this day’s journal, let me just say I’m SOO behind! I was so busy with school each day, then was racing around Italy for 1 week after school, then came home to gallstones and ecoli poisoning I haven’t had time to catch up on these journals, but I still wanted [...]
