Nourished with Krista Ettles

Those that know me know I’m a big fan of being outside. This is especially true in the warmer months and now that we’re seeing the longer days, it means more time enjoying the great outdoors. For me that looks like riding my bike pretty much everywhere, playing volleyball on the beach and getting lost in the forest.

Dancing. I love watching So You Think You Can Dance. I'm always amazed how people can make connections throu...
