Quotations:
"Remember, sugar is not our friend in menopause. It increases hot flashes, causes inflammation, brain fog, and fatigue."
"You don’t have to create an extravaganza. Today’s generation wants to experience more than excess. Let go of the pressure to overdo it."
"Don’t be a martyr this holiday season. Delegate, delegate, and delegate to share the load."
