It wasn’t until I lost my grandma did I really consider health and wellness. My grandma was a huge part of my upbringing. She helped raise me as my parents were teenage parents.

Growing up I spent a lot of time with my grandma. This is where I developed my love for peanut butter and Walker Texas Ranger. She used to call me “Sweet Cheeks” (hence the blog) and sing a song to me that she had made up. My grandma was my, “partner in crime”, as we used to tell my mom.

As she matured, her health slowly declined. I remember her smoking cigarettes when the doctor had advised her to stop. You would catch her hiding in the small bathroom with the vent on. My grandma had also become diabetic over the course of many years of eating unhealthy. But that didn’t stop her from enjoying a good pie or two or THREE! Opening her fridge and you would find multiple Village Inn pies in there all at once. She stopped caring about her health and would say, “If I’m going to die, I’m going to die happy”.

I know you're asking yourself, where do I begin? How do I get started?

Getting started doesn’t have to be difficult. It can be simple and effective with these quick tips.
