Updates and Events with Marcey Rader

I’m super excited about this kit and determined that everything in it is all a mobile professional or business traveler needs to stay fit on the road.

Smart Resolutions
January 1 marks a New Year on the calendar and a new start for most people. I’m not a big New Year’s resolution person because I make resolutions all throughout the year. I don’t think changing my life for the better has to start on January 1 and neither should you.
