Happy Wednesday everyone! Spring is the time for blossoming! In this beautiful season full of sunshine, colors, love and happiness, I couldn’t be happier to announce that I am now, finally starting my health and wellness blog promoting good vibes, happiness, healthy recipes, creative workouts, mindful meditation, detoxification, organic living, skincare, essential oils, crystals, nature, travel, art and anything else that makes my heart sing!
On top of that, I am now also offering private personal training and nutrition health coaching for those who would like to improve their fitness and lifestyle in the comfort of their own home!
