Over the past few years I’ve had the privilege of spending time in Italy.  It’s become a favorite place of mine and I’m dreaming up my next trip as we speak. But until my next trip, I’ve been thinking about the things I love and learned about Italian culture that I want to cultivate right

After last week’s deep thoughts on what’s real and what’s fake in the fitness world, we’re keeping this week’s Wellness Wednesday light and fun. 🙂 Here are a few things I’ve been loving, using and learning lately that you might be interested in too….
