April 30, 2013 by Maria

The Following is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influence in any way. Losing weight is something that I have been working on for several years.

It's not that I eat a overeat or that I'm eating nothing but processed, unhealthy foods either. I need to exercise more and get my slow Continue Reading

Game of Thrones – Characters We Love To Hate

If your of fan of the George R. R.

What The Walking Dead Has Taught Me About The Zombie Apocalypse

March 17, 2013 by Maria
