And we can't say they're important conversations.

Spring is here, and so is outdoor adventures, shopping and nostalgia.

While Russel still tries to learn how to spell it, Angie shares her love and experience with the ancient Chinese art of using energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. 

Russel may have found that explanation off of Wikipedia but in this Zesty episode, Angie does a great job explaining what it is and its benefits.

Angie has had one of those weeks. One of those weeks where you should have just stayed in bed for all of it.
