It takes a lot to build muscle and drop fat. So why not make it easier by straightening up the nutrition piece? You already know what you SHOULD be eating:  Whole Foods, fruits, and veggies…because that’s the truth.  But here are 3 items that I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT!!!  1. Olive Oil Spray - this stuff is great.

How to keep your skin glowing and radiant in a heat wave 👀

How to keep your skin glowing and radiant in a heat wave 👀 This is a serious question.
