A few things changed last month. We added Seth Kaplan as a regular author and his posts typically appear on Fridays. Seth writes about a lot of things but he possesses a wealth of information about health, nutrition, diet, and nutritional supplements.

Catch up and find out what I did on our vacation in France.
