Working Out With Kids
Here’s the thing: Working out with kids can be challenging. If you’ve got kids, small ones especially, you know exactly what I mean. “Your Kids are a reason to workout!

Charcoal Lemonade Recipe
Activated Charcoal Lemonade with Collagen Recipe Our take on the activated charcoal lemonade with collagen recipe craze looks much cooler than the sludge-colored detox drinks everyone seems to be sipping lately. We froze our activated charcoal into ice cubes, creating a stark contrast when served in bright lemonade. When the ice starts to melt, it creates a cool-looking swirling effect as the charcoal mixes with the drink. To give it an extra boost, we mixed in Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate powder.
