About my vlogging:

I’ve decided to start dedicating a small portion of my time to help improve my health as well as give others out there useful tips, information, and guides to help promote a healthier life style. I’ve always lived in a pretty unhealthy way, but by slowly incoporating new products and activities into my routine I may be able to avoid illnesses of all types, as well as feel more energized naturally. Giving up the foods or drinks in your life can prove to be difficult, so instead I start by slowly adding better things before removing my favorite items for good, or at least put it to a minimum. I will be reviweing healthier options for teas, sodas, chips, frozen foods, and more. Please stay tuned, or request some information on a product. I would love to help you explore the world of health!
