    Beloved Body Wellness Challenge #2 – Walk the Walk + Talk the Talk

    Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 27 is National Walk @ Lunch Day – what great inspiration for this week’s Beloved Body Wellness Challenge. I love going on walks with friends for a few reasons.

It’s almost like naming a child: you want a name that is just right for your blog/baby; the name is forever (unless you want to go through the hassle of re-branding everything or your baby decides to change his/her name at…
