A few months back, I attended the Discover Arlington Fitness + Wellness Festival . I got to try a bunch of new (to me) workouts, and I also got to sample some new food, beverages, and beauty products. One of the beauty tables that kept my attention: All That Yazz! I am absolutely in love with All That Yazz  soaps and other products. I have very sensitive skin, so I have to be very careful with soaps.

I have made a lot of bad choices after late-night volleyball games, but I’ve really been making great strides at having lighter, protein-rich snacks/meals at night. Lately, I’ve been gobbling up the new Vega Protein Cashewmilk Yogurt Alternative .
