My Journey with vTOS
Let’s start at the beginning for the last few weeks I had noticed my right arm was swollen and turning blue and purple. There was small bruise on my shoulder but I hadn’t injured it. I also noticed that I had a bruise on my knee which was from a bug bite so I thought that might be the case. I asked my husband as well as my daughter if they could see a difference in my arms. At that time they couldn’t really tell. It was later in the week my husband was watching my latest Workout Video. Check it out here. My husband noticed in that video my…

DIY House Number Planter Sign!

But I enjoy so much more than just fitness. This channel will be filled with DIY’s, Home Remodel, gardening, chickens, and more. It would mean the world to me if you would subscribe to my new channel! (It’s Free!) I…

Carnivore Coffee
I absolutely love coffee and before I started my carnivore journey I was a creamer addict. People would joke that I had more creamer in my coffee than coffee.
