I finally know what it means to Eat to Live vs. Live to Eat

Shellee Dyne, located in Calabasas, has helped me make successful diet lifestyle changes, but I wanted to let you know that she is now in Westlake every Monday! All these years, I wasn’t feeding my body what it really needed. I had read & heard about clean eating, but without educating myself, thought it sounds boring & full of deprivation. But I was wrong. While I have lost weight, it’s really more than just a number on the scale. It’s about feeling good, having energy and most important being healthy. If someone would have told me my cravings for sugar would disappear, I seriously would have never believed them. But it has and it’s true. I HIGHLY recommend her. Life changing.

The invisible undershirt blends in with your skin tone, eliminating the visible contrast between the undershirt and your skin

This shirt creates a clean, seamless appearance, as though you are not wearing an undershirt at all. Inspired by the bespoke tailors of Sloane street in London, crafted from the finest materials, and made in the united states, it’s the invisible undershirt by Sloane men. Their mission was simple: create the perfect undershirt. They started from scratch, grounding every decision in innovation and functionality. They obsessed over every detail until they got it right. By matching the color of the undershirt to your skin tone, the undershirt becomes invisible under your outer shirt. Go invisible. Get noticed.
