Cranberry, Coconut and Date Raw Bars

There is nothing I like better than eating these date bars and a large banana mango smoothie made with almond milk.  Living healthy is my way of life.  With my very hectic lifestyle as an Associate Broker and mom to my darling girls, I must maintain my body.

Working out at the gym is a routine I do daily to keep my slim body and maintain myself.  I so want to help others know how to be healthy and live the life that they have only dreamed at in the past.

As a "Team Bombshell Figure Athlete" I must live up to my title with honor, ethics and overall promise to humanity to "Pay it Forward." It is my sincere hope that you will enjoy knowing more about my lifestyle and my eating habits.  Life is short and we must all share the love.  Sandra
