HEALTH AND WELLNESS SPOTLIGHT

Lighten your Load

Hi, my name is Candace, owner/operator of Fine Art Massage. I’d like to share a recent discovery that has reduced my stress in several ways. OrganicstoYou. A friend told me their produce was very fresh and good. But how about the prices, I asked – “they have to be higher than buying organics in stores, right?”

“Better prices,” she said. So I had to try them. My fruit and vegetable consumption has quadrupled having such lovely produce in my kitchen. I love saving time and money, but more importantly my body’s cells are getting bathed with a steady supply of organic nutrients to do their zillions of jobs (another version of stress reduction) and weight control is easy eating all this fiber (even more stress reduction). The better to massage all of you, my dears! For more info, check out organicstoyou.com.
