As I write this, I'm sitting in a vegan coffee shop in Cork, Ireland. The walls are mostly glass, and as I sip my Americano, I watch tourists and locals, burrowed in their jackets and scarves, walk past. It's still cold here in April, but it clearly hasn't slowed the city of 200,000 people down. Watching them all walk by has me thinking about travel and how most people don't even want to think about working out while they are away from home. Either they're on vacation or they're working and under a great deal of stress.

Trending: Dry Brushing and Why It's Actually Amazing for You

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've no doubt heard about the importance of exfoliating your skin in the shower. After all, the loofah has become ubiquitous with every college dorm survival kit-- it's just that important! Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, boosts circulation, and just feels good. Recently though, more attention has been placed on the practice of dry brushing, and its' benefits have been proven to greatly outweigh typical shower exfoliation.

The cure for what ails is bio-individual, but the need is undeniably there.

A Month of Total Body Workouts

No one wants to feel sick and out of control, but so many simply don't know how to combat it. It's a systemic problem, but happily, it is also one that can be remedied with intentional action.

A Letter to My Husband on Father's Day

Dear Husband, We met eight years ago in the most unlikely of places--Las Vegas. I observed this tall, dark, and handsome man talking to my friend, and something happened internally to me. Your face seemed familiar, your Southern accent drew me in, and the way you looked at me slowed down the constant chatter in my mind.
