I'm A Breast Cancer Survivor

My sweet sister Alissa wanted to do a breast cancer survivor shoot with me they day of my final chemo treatment before the medicine really kicked in. At first I was kind of nervous because I belong behind the camera, not in front of it, but I am so happy that I did this. These photos are so special to me. Her husband, Mckay also made a movie for me and we watched it on Christmas Eve with the family. It was such a memorable Christmas Eve. I couldn't hold back all the tears. I am so happy to have these pictures to represent my trials and triumphs. Thanks Alissa and Mckay for the wonderful Christmas gift. I am so incredibly proud to say, I am a breast cancer survivor! And I am so ready for this new year!!! Happy New Year!

Lemon Water Health Boost

A few weeks ago I decided to add something to my regular diet. I had always heard how lemons are good for your health, but didn't ever make any effort to eat them. Then I came across an article talking about all the amazing health benefits of drinking lemon water daily has. Lemon is an awesome source of vitamin C. It also contains vitamin B, and minerals like calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, as well as proteins and carbohydrates. 

Below are a few of the health benefits:
