How to De-Stress?

January 15, 2013January 10, 2017 Jo Tango

I’m wondering what you do to maintain your health? I work out every day and watch what I eat, but getting shingles was unexpected.

My Bad Back and Social Media

January 3, 2013 Jo Tango

I took a bad fall while skiing during the winter holidays. I should know better than to keep up with my speedy and nimble children, who ski so effortlessly and with insane speed. Days later, I’m in a lot of pain. My usual bad back pills aren’t helping at all, and I wake up often
