Green Mountain Coffee® Fair Trade BzzCampaign

I was very happy to join the Green Mountain Coffee Fair Trade BzzCampaign because I LOVE coffee!  I love the smell of it and I love the taste of it, black please!  Once you go black….haha….just kidding.  But really, it’s true for coffee.  Lo used 

Fitness Friday: Nov. 14 – 21

I usually do Workout Wednesday, but didn’t get my post up so I went with Fitness Friday this week.  Who knows…I may stick with it.  Since I don’t work out much on the weekend, it would make it easier to remember what I did during
