Whether you're looking for a relaxing vacation, to make healthy changes in your life or to do a bit of soul searching, Canyon Ranch is the place to go. I had the opportunity to visit the prestigious wellness retreat located in Lenox, Massachusetts with my best friend, Adrienne, and couldn't wait to get home and write a review.

Yes, I'm Vegan. Here's Why...
It's been 9 years since I gave up meat and fish and 2 since I gave up dairy. Many people ask, Why, what made you make that decision? My answer has always been because I want to eat as clean as possible, but never before about the animals. As a leather wearer, it would have seemed like an oxymoron.
