Not wanting to pass up the opportunity, the food blogger embarks on a wellness journey to explore various methods of healthy lifestyles to get fit and active, and reconquer her life. Live mesmerizes herself in the journey, simply trying everything from gym routines and coastal jogs to plant-based diets and herbal laxatives.
