Today’s post is a bit of a brain dump on how I have been feeling about the wellness world on social media.

I love health devices, tracking stats, and investing in products that improve my health. However, lately I'm feeling like a need a break. You know how some people experiment with taking a break from coffee because they … [Read more...]
