Lighten Up Before Summer
So the sun finally comes out and people are wearing shorts and t-shirts...and you are panicked. You're not ready for summer clothes, skin-baring and beach-going. The long cold winter, bulky sweaters and spending so much time indoors can weigh us down in more than one way - both by zapping our energy and by adding on a few extra pounds
Once the weather is warm, clothes are lighter, and people are moving out into the sun. If you are thinking, "WAIT!! I'm not ready yet!! I still feel weighed down!!
