Over the last couple of months, I’ve been incredibly fascinated with medicinal mushrooms and their potential properties. With the help of this book, I’ve started incorporating more exotic varieties into my meals.

Every winter I try to figure out where I went wrong during the year that I’m stuck on the east coast during these brutally cold winters. Most of the time it’s because I didn’t plan and/or budget correctly and I’m left trying to figure out to afford squeezing in a quick getaway. Thankfully, …
When I was 18, I thought I had it all planned out. I would have a great career in business, married, and all kids squared away by the age of 30. This deadline was not only due to the fact that 30 sounded “old”, but I read in multiple places that it just gets …
