    Friday Faves 4.11 – The Fitnessista

    Hi friends! Happy Friday! What’s going on this weekend? We have an NCL event, two birthday parties, and are meeting up with friends at the pool for dinner.

    Why More Americans Are Ditching Netflix for YouTube Documentaries

    Image by Billy Freeman of Unsplash Streaming used to be simple.
