Did you know that March was National Nutrition Month? Actually until I jumped into this business 3 years ago, I really had no idea that there was such a public push for awareness and support of healthy lifestyles.
Wanna know where the name Shazzy came from?
You could say that we’ve been kinda busy LOL. 2014 began with a bang – our first television appearance, still to this day it was the first time we’ve actually performed a routine on-screen. That was a really incredible experience. It was my first time being on TV – first time being interviewed on TV – and I was SOOOO nervous!

I know part is because I feel better - less tired, more energized. I know part is because I like to push myself and do things I wasn't sure I could do.

I am a runner. It has taken me a long time to admit that. I'm not sure what I thought made you a runner but I was certain it was not me.

Despite my passion for the road and my dedication to the sport, I just didn't see myself as a runner.
382 million. That's the number of people living with diabetes worldwide today. And by the year 2035, 592 million people will have this disease. Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body does not metabolize sugar properly. As a result, sugar which is our main energy source, remains in the blood causing other complications like kidney disease, nerve damages, and heart diseases. However, most cases of diabetes and the complications that arise from this disease can be avoided through healthy lifestyles.
Kindness. It is defined as a quality or state of mind where one is warm, charitable or caring towards another. And today the 13th of November is recognized as World Kindness Day. It is a day where people get to demonstrate acts of kindness to each other. A day where we all have the power to make a difference in someone else's life.
November is mostly associated with Turkey and Thanksgiving, but the American Academy of Dermatology has also designated this month as Healthy Skin Month. Our skin is the largest organ in our body and is our first line of defense against pathogens. So this November take time out to care for this organ.
