Sunshine, Happiness and Rainbows Everywhere!

I don’t know about you, but I am SUPER excited about the longer days! I find it easier to wake up in the morning and my energy levels are much improved. Is this a spring thing? An anticipation of warmer summer days or is there more to this phenomenon? It’s actually a brain thing. Sunlight stimulates your brain and does more for your health than you may guess.

My little pet project of starting my own nutrition business has been one of the most life changing endeavors in my career and in my adult life.
