Helloooo December!

Wow. How quickly this year is coming to an end!
For me, and for a lot of people,  the end of the year is a time to reflect on the year that has passed; what we’ve learned, what we’ve accomplished, what we could improve on. A time to start coming up with visions and goals for the upcoming year.

What do I want to achieve? What do I want to create, learn, experience?
In what areas of my life/fitness/wellness do I want to grow?  … Etc. etc. etc.

If  this upcoming year, some of your goals include cooking more, cooking “better”,  or cooking- period.  AND/or  making improvements in your nutrition … you are most definitely at the right place!  A couple of very successful cooking classes have been held by Lela Buttery already, and its only the beginning of much more to come!

Earlier this week was the launch of my website: www.livebeautifull.com

Check it out! & see if the cooking class series I’ve developed can help you achieve your  kitchen and wellness goals. Read all ABOUT Live Beautifull and take a look at whats in store for January, February and March Classes.

Ok enough about all that.

Without further adieu…
