While my whole family was carb loading like there's not tomorrow I worked really hard to stay on track and not to emerge in the end a chunky girl once again. It was very difficult for me not to be able to walk my dogs, go hiking, swim in the sea and the normal physical activities I so enjoy.  The idea for a YouTube channel has been brewing inside of me for a while. I've tried so many different things when it comes to diet, beauty, exercise and anti-aging and I felt like this would be a good vessel for shari
