Some of my drawings

Hello everyone! Well, I have finally figured out how to scan with our printer. Which I am very happy about because I have wanted to get my drawings on the computer. So here are some of my favorite drawings. (warning, much geekness ahead.) The fist drawing is a profile of my Elf character, Auberne` Ancalimon. Drawn in 07.

This is my best anime drawing I have ever done and my favorite drawing. The name on the drawing is Luke but I renamed him Rath. Drawn 08.

A chibi of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. Drawn 09.

A chibi of Anakin Shywalker from Star Wars. Drawn 09

Aayla Secura from SW, drawn 08.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my drawings. Have a wonderful week!

I think I might pee my pants!!!!!

My wonderful mom has written a book. Yes, a real BOOK!!!!! IS THAT AWESOME OR WHAT? The book is called Wren Bay the story of making a home. Here is my mom’s description:


“It is about Wren Bay, a newlywed, whose husband is gone to serve in WW1. Wren is a Boston socialite (although she was homeschooled), who is now living on her husband's dairy farm in Massachusetts. She knows nothing about dairy farms but she does not need to, she has the Harrison's family. They are caretakers of Bay Farm.

Wren is determined to use this time of separation from her husband, Devlin, to learn how to take this amazing, old stone house and turn it into a home. She will learn how to use all she has been gifted with and make the most of it.

Wren Bay, is also about the people in her life. Like her Aunt Sophia, a milliner who has raised Wren since she was 9. Aunt Sophia may be impractical and dreamy but she is a savvy business woman, who lives her life on her terms. Also there is Madam Mimi, Aunt Sophia's French cook. Who came to America after losing her beloved husband, Benard. She has given Wren the joy taking perfect ingredients and making heaven out of it. As Madam Mimi says, "One should never cook like a chef but understand and have the same skills as one." There is the Harrison family who have always been caretakers of Bay Farm. Mrs. Harrison, Mary, is very unsure of Wren and her harebrained (creative) ideas. Wren is trying to find her space in this new world, to focus on her blessings, not her losses and make her dreams come true, despite Devlin not being with her”


I am sooooo excited to read the book! If you would like you can read the first chapter here.

To purchase the book go here.

And here is a promotional video I made just for the book. I hope you like it.






I am soooooo proud of my mom, I never thought she could write. It has been a long, crazy trip but I hope something comes of this book. Congratulations mom, you have given birth! lol jk
I hope you are having some wonderful fall weather. (It’s just started at my house.)

My darling

Well here is my darling for the Share your Darling blogfest. This is a short story I wrote one day when I felt writing. It’s in a sci-fi world, like Star Wars. The two characters, Jade and Karet, are much like Jedi and they just finished their training. They have been friends for a long time but had to be apart for 8 years. They have just recently gotten together again and they now have the courage to tell each other how they feel. This is after the scene where they tell each other that they are in love. ;) ♥ So I hope you enjoy and be sure to see everyone else’s darlings. Thanks for doing this Michelle! (Oh, please ignore my grammar errors for I am sure there are some. Grammar is not my thing)

~~~TGDB
 

We were in the gardens again, it was our favorite place to be. We where sitting on a flat stone by the pool, watching the reflections in the water.
“Tell me what your thinking.” Karet whispered in my ear. I looked away from the water and into his eyes. I slipped my hand into his, twisting our fingers together.
“I was thinking how wonderful it would be if we could sit here together all day. Never having to leave.”
He smiled that dazzling smile that I loved. His fingers rapped more tightly around mine.
“What are you thinking?” I said.
“I was thinking, well, about something.” He paused while his face turned pink.
“What, you are not going to tell me?” I teased. He laughed, a good hearty laugh. Then he grew serious.

“Well, it’s more of a question. One I am afraid to ask.”
I frowned in confusion. What would he want to ask me that would frighten him. Unless….
My heart picked up in pace, my face grew warm. I tried to compose myself, waiting till I was sure of myself to speak.
“Karet, you can ask me anything you want to. You know that.”
“Anything?” he said.
“Of course.” my heart felt a slight squeeze. His eyes grew warm, he grabbed my other hand. A long moment passed as he looked at our hands. It was painful to wait, but I knew I had to let him take his time. This was as hard for him as it was for me. Finally he spoke.

“You know my feeling, the strength of my passion. And I know yours. There is only one thing that would make my life whole.
For you to be mine. Maybe I’m being selfish, but I can not make myself feel any different. You are like air to me, I can not live without you.”
He stood up and got down on one knee if front of me. I tried to consecrate on breathing, I did not want to pass out at the wrong moment.
“Jade, my one and only love. I promise to love and cherish you, to respect you and honor you for my whole life. I will do anything to deserve you. Will you do me the honor of… of taking my had in marriage. Jade Sora, will you marry me?”

I could not breath, my heart seemed to stop dead yet pounded with a speed not possible. My thoughts where a jumbled mess, I could barely think. The only thing I could concentrate on was my answer.
I knew what to say. I did not care what would happen to us, there was only one thing that mattered. When I found my voice I said these words. Words neither of us would ever forget.

“I can not imagine a world where you don’t insist. So yes. It will always be yes.”
Tears filed my eyes, but I did not notice. Karet’s face broke into a smile that threatened to tear his face in half. His eyes light up with that smoldering fire, he practically glowed.
He stood up and then I threw myself into his arms. He held me tight, rapping his strong arms around me.
I hid my face in his neck, crying now. I don’t think he cared if I got him soaked. After a few minuets, I pulled away enough so I could see his face. His eyes where wet with tears to. I could not help but let out a shaky laugh. He laughed with me, a almost musical sound.
“Oh, Karet, how can I express my feelings. How can I tell you the elevation I feel, the overwhelming happiness. It is just to much!” He smiled gently.
“Well. I know how to express mine.” My heart stopped one again.
He unwound his arms and reached up to hold my face in his hands. I could not breath. His face came closer to mine, I could feel his warm breath on my face.

And then his warm, soft lips pressed against mine.
Blood boiled under my skin. My breath came in wild gasps. My fingers knotted in his hair, wilding me to his body. My lips parted as I breathed his heady scent. Then he kissed me back, his unyielding lips moving with mine. His lips where so soft, warm and sweet. It felt like nothing else in the world. And then, all to soon, his lips left mine. We both where gasping for air.
“Wow” was all he could say.
“That’s a understatement” I breathed. My head was spinning. My fingers where still braided in his hair. I could not help but run my fingers thru the golden locks on his head. It was so soft.
He held me closer to him, my body pressing against his.
“I love you, so much.” his voice was a sweet whisper.
“I love you to.” And these words where truer then anything else in the universe.

And then he bent forward to kiss me again.

Road Trip with for SSBB guys part three

Well here it is, part three! WOHO!!!! I am really happy with this, the only thing is I have never been to the grand canyon so I have to describe it as best as I can. If any of you have been there I hope I did justice to it. The above photo is the photo the guys take in the story. I am not good at this kind of thing so don’t hate me for the crabby job. Done with Photoshop. I hope you enjoy this. Happy summer!

Road trip with Marth, Link, Ike and Roy.
 
Part three:
 
Marth sighed as the wind played with his blue hair. Smiling contently he turned to Link who had the same look in his face.
“Amazing, isn’t is?”
“I know.”
They where standing near the edge of the Gran Canyon, the wide vista displayed before them. Ike was sitting on a rock sketching away in his black leather notebook. Roy came to stand next to Link with eye’s as big as dinner plate’s.
“Wooooow. I never knew it was so big!”
“Yes Roy, it is very big.” Marth replied with a voice of awe.
“In fact it’s 277 miles wide, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles and attains a depth of over a mile. And on a side note it’s…”
“Oh Marth, please! Enough!” Roy complained, covering his ear’s with his hands.
“I had enough listening to the guy in the gift shop. I don’t need anymore info pumped into my brain. It can handle only so much, you know.”
Link stifled a laugh, giving Roy a goofy look. Roy stuck his tongue out in that childish way. Link rolled his eye, pulled out a camera and started snapping photos.
“Hey guys, let’s get one with all of us.”
“Ok! I’ll stand next to you, best buddy.” He said to Marth, playfully punching him in the arm. Marth gave him a dirty look and then called out,
“Ike! Get over here, we are taking photos.”
Ike reluctantly but his notebook away and walked over to stand next to Roy. Link was setting up the camera on a tripod.
“Give me a minute guys!” He called over his shoulder.
“So, you where doodling again?” Roy asked Ike.
“Yes I was but I would not call them doodles. More like sketches. This place is amazing, I could spend hours just drawing the beauty here.”
“Oh, cool.”
But in truth Roy was thinking it was really silly. If he was to draw, it would be a robot, a mutant or something like that. If he where to draw at all.

“Ok, it’s ready everyone!” Link said pushing buttons on the camera.
“On the count of three, I will push the button and run over. It should be about 10 seconds till it goes off. Ready? One, two, three!” Link ran over next to Marth and everyone got ready.
“Don’t you dare give me bunny ears, Roy.” Ike warned darkly.
“Why would you think I would do that?”
“Say cheese everyone.” Marth said.
“CHEEEEEEESSSSE!!!!!”
“Ok, that’s it!” Link ran over to the camera, looking at the photo.
“This is great! We should totally get this framed when we get home.”
“We will see what we can do. Now I think we should have lunch.” Marth said walking to the bus, he opened up the back and grabbed a ice cooler. Roy ran and pulled a blanket out of the back seat and spread it out on the ground.
“It not the most comfy place to sit but hey, it could be worse. We could be sitting in a ’grand’ lava lake.”
“Ha, very funny genus!” Link retorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Then they set our their lunch. It consisted of a loaf of French bread, several different cheeses, salami, grapes, assorted vegetables including olives (but not black. Ike hate’s black olives), bubbly water and homemade fudge they made in a microwave at a gas station. It was Marth’s idea which the guys thought was brilliant. They sat, talking quietly amongst themselves just enjoying the wonderful weather.

“What could be better that having a picnic with a view like this?” Marth said, sweeping his arm to all the grandeur before them.
“Not much, I would imagine.” Ike replied after taking a bite of stinky blue cheese.
“How can you stand to eat something that smells like baby diapers?” Roy exclaimed with a look of disgust.
“Well, at least it doesn’t taste like baby diapers. Heeeere, have some and see for yourself.” Ike tried shoving a piece into Roy’s face, but with a loud cry he fell back and scooted away. Ike and Link laughed hysterically, even Marth covered his face with a hand to hide a smile and a giggle. Roy climbed back onto the blanket, pointing at Ike.
“Don’t do that again! It’s not funny!”
“Yes it is and you know it.”
Roy just glowered.
“You know Roy, you don’t know if something is bad for you until you try it.” Marth suggested. Roy sat there with a martyred look on his face.
“Oh come on man. Cheer up!” Link said encouraging.
Nothing.
“At least he’s not asking you to read Shakespeare.“
When Roy did not respond, Link smiled then made a goofy face, sticking a carrot stick in his ear. Roy could not contain himself any longer and fell back again, holding his sides with laughter. Then everyone started laughing hysterically. When they calmed down Roy gave Link a high five and said,
“This is the best picnic ever, stinky cheese and all.”
If you where standing on the other side of the Grand Canyon you could hear laughter floating on the breeze.

Share your Darlings blogfest.

Hello all! My good friend Michelle Gregory is having a writing blog fest called Share your Darlings. It’s to share your favorite scene you have writer for a story. Here is what she say’s:



“We all have one. Some of us have more. It's the "favorite scene." You know, the one you spend days working on, crafting every word, changing each sentence five times. When you come to the end, you congratulate yourself on what a brilliant writer you are. You can hardly wait to show it to your crit partners.

They read. You wait with anticipation, ready to hear the words, “Congratulations. Wonderful. We’re envious of your writing prowess.”

Instead, you hear the words: It’s time to kill your darling.

You’re crushed. You want to argue. They don’t know what they’re talking about. Can’t they see how much blood and sweat went into those finely honed words? Don’t they understand that this was the best thing you’ve ever written?

You’re too afraid to say anything. You go home. You put the story away. A few days later, you look it over again. You consider what they said. You finally admit they were right. The scene has to be cut. It contributes nothing to the story.

But you can’t bear to hit the delete key. You spent too much time to relegate the words to novel purgatory. You look around to make sure no one is watching. Surely your crit partners will never know. When you feel it’s safe, you highlight the whole thing and click “cut.” You move it to the “extra text” file. You can always use it later.

Well, here’s your chance.

Instead of killing your darling, why don’t you share it with the rest of us during my “Share your darlings blogfest” on July 1st?”

The rules are thus:

- Pick a favorite scene that you deleted or used. Either one is ok. (We don't want to miss out on brilliant prose just because you decided to go against your crit partners' advice and use it instead of cutting it.)
- Word count: The 600 word limit is out. I'll leave it to your discretion as to how many words you share, but please be reasonable. We don't want a novella on our hands.
- Give a brief introduction to let us know how it fits in your story and what story it’s from.
- Sign up here.
- Mention the blogfest on your blog.
- Post your darling on July 1st and link back to this post so we can all read each other's darlings.
- If you want, you can tell us why it’s your favorite.


So I will be sharing my darling on July 1st with you all. I encorage you to go join if you’re a writer. It is sure to be fun! I hope you are all enjoying the summer weather. (It just started to feel like summer here. lol) Have a great week!

Road trip with four SSBB guys part two

Here is part two of my road trip story. And some music to go with it. Enjoy!


~~~TGDB

Part two:
“How about you turn on the radio?” Ike suggested to Link who was in the driver seat.
“Ok. What station do you want to listen to?”
“Whatever.”
The crackle of the radio turning on was heard throughout the car. Then the station came in.
“Be sure to tune into Hyrule HiFi on Friday to hear a live performance by The Triforce Gang, right here on Hyrule HiFi 183.7.” the Dj said.
“Oh, I love them!” Roy cried out from the back seat where he was engaged in a thumb wrestling match with Marth.
“Phff, their ok.” Ike replied.
“Ok? There awesome!”
“I agree with Ike.” Marth said, pining Roy’s thumb at the same time.
“They are just another group going for the general listening audience. And they have no taste.”
“How about we just listen to the music instead.” Link chimed in, trying to make peace. Commercials where playing at the moment, Roy was coming back with a vengeance to win over Marth.
“Welcome back to Hyrule HiFi. Now this song go’s out to Heather D. of Tania from your friend Chad R.” A fun beat began to play and then Link began to sing. (See link)
“Hey…uh uh huh. What I like about you, you hold me tight.”
Then Ike joined in with a deep bass voice.
“Tell me I’m the only one wanna come over tonight, keep on whispering in my ear tell me all the things that I wanna hear. Cuz its true that’s what I like about you. That’s what I like about you.”
Roy stopped his thumb wrestling match with Marth and began to sing as well.
“What I like about you, you really know how to dance. When you go up, down, jump around, talk about true romance. Yeah, keep on whispering in my ear tell me all the things that I wanna hear cuz its true, that’s what I like about you.
That’s what I like about you,
that’s what I like about you,
that’s what I like about you.”
“Come on Marth. Sing with us!” Link insisted.
“Oh, alright.” He said with a sigh. Marth had a wonderful tenor voice and could sing almost anything well.
“What I like about you, you keep me warm at night. Never wanna let you go, you know you make me feel alright. Yeaaaaaah.”
Now they where on a roll, singing at the top of their lungs and with all their might.
“Keep on whispering in my ear, tell me all the things that I wanna hear.
Cuz its true that’s what I like about you.
That’s what I like about you
That’s what I like about you
you you you
That’s what I like about you.”
Heads where bobbing, Roy was doing the fist of rock and all where having a good time. If they could have they would have gotten up and started dancing. They kept on singing until the song ended.
“Whew, that was fun!” Ike said, a big grin on his face.
“Let’s do it again!” Roy exclaimed with his fists in the air as soon as the next song started to play.
“Here we go!” Link called out.
“Just dance…”

Happy May Day and a movie recommendation

Happy May Day to you all! I hope you can go out in the sun and enjoy the flowers!

My grandfather is coming today so I will not be here for a while but to tide you over I have a movie recommendation. Last night I watched Sherlock Holmes and it was awesome! I looooooved it! It was really funny and well done, Robert Downy Jr. did a amazing job as Holmes. It get’s a little creepy and violent in parts, unless you don’t mind that (like me). I would totally recommend it. Have a great week!


~~~TGDB


(P.S. I am feeling better now, but poor Ashoka is sick. So please keep her in your thoughts. Hope you get better sis!)

Update and a story

Hey all! How are you? I hope you all are feeling well cuz I’m not. I have a sore throat and buzzy ears. But enough about me for I have a story for you all! Now this is going to take some explaining. There is one game me and Ashoka looooove to play on our Wii. It’s called Super Smash Bro’s Brawl.

Our favorite characters from it are Prince Marth, Ike, Lord Roy and Link. 
Marth, Ike and Roy are from the game Fire Emblem. Link is from Legend of Zelda.

I came up with a story about the four of them on a rode trip and the funny things that happen to them. To better understand the story here is a description of each characters personality.

Prince Marth is my favorite characters (besides Link). He is the Prince of Althea in the Fire Emblem games. I see him as being very classy. Someone who loves books, cooking, the arts and classical music. He is deep and emotional, some would say broody. But he still knows how to let go and have a good time. Here is a description from the SmashWiki: The prince of Altea, in whose veins the blood of heroes runs. He and a small group of stalwarts fought to free Altea after it was invaded by the kingdom of Doluna and the dark dragon, Medeus. With his divine sword, Falchion, he fought and defeated Medeus. However, Altea was then invaded by King Hardin of Akaneia and eventually destroyed.

Ike is a cool guy. Very commanding but at the same time laid back and calm. He like his music, quiet time and a good battle. He is often in the background but everyone can rely on him to back them up. Here is his description from SmashWiki: A member of Crimea's top fighting force, the Greil Mercenaries. He's a man of few words whose blunt manner gives the impression that he's uncaring, but he's actually a passionate hero. He was crucial to the reconstruction of Crimea. In Radiant Dawn, he continues to show his deep sense of honor and leads the Greil Mercenaries to the aid of the Laguz Alliance.

Now, there are actually two SSBB games. The is the regular one and then there is SSBB Melee. Melee was released first and had different characters that the newer one. Roy is one of the characters that is in Melee but not SSBB. Here is a photo of SSBB Melee.

And here is one of SSBB.

See the deferents? I have not played Melee but I think I would still prefer SSBB.

Roy is about as crazy as they come. A pyro maniac and a goofball, you can bet he will be the life of the party. Being the youngest of the guys (he’s only 15), he is a bit immature and silly. But he is kind and loving and a good friend. When he’s not playing pranks on you. lol Roy’s description: The son of the lord of Pharae Principality, Roy was studying in Ostia when the Kingdom of Bern invaded League of Lycia. His father fell ill at this time, so Roy assumed lordship of Pharae's armies. After his fateful meeting with the Princess Guinevere, his destiny became inextricably linked with the fate of the entire continent.

Link is a hero and a sweetheart. He is fun and carefree. (often being Roy’s partner in crime.) Passionate and caring, as well a being a bit silly. He will do anything to save his friends. Link’s description: A young man who emerged to rescue Hyrule from peril. He's the bearer of the Triforce of Courage who fights to keep Ganondorf from conquering the world. His green outfit is a constant throughout the series. He's a skilled swordsman, horseman, and archer. He's also proficient with bombs and boomerangs.

*whew!* That was a mouthful. Now onto the story. They will be a collections of short story’s of the guys adventures while on a rode trip. Here is part one, I will be writing more soon. Thanks for reading and enjoy! Have a great week everyone!

Rode trip with Marth, Ike, Roy and Link.


Part one:

It was Marth’s turn to drive. Ike had called shotgun as soon as he found out he would not be driving. (Roy was pretty sore about that one)
Link had his DS out and was playing Spore.
So that left Roy alone and bored.
That is never a good thing.
“I’m bored!”
“Well, then find something to do.” Ike said over his shoulder.
“But I have nothing to do.”
“Oh well. Your loss.”
By now Roy was sulking. He looked over at Link. He was so pulled into his game that Donkey Kong could have picked up the car and he would not have noticed. His eyes where glued to the screen and was playing like a madman.
Roy had his own player but had insisted that he had played all the games a hundred time over. So he sat there looking out the window, not really seeing the scenery that was flying buy.
Looking at Link again he noticed a small bit of hair sticking up from the top of his head. It looked really out of place Roy thought. So very quietly, very slowly, he reached over and pinched the hair between his first finger and thumb.
And then he pulled.
“OOOOWWW!!!!!! ROY! You pulled my hair!!”
“It was sticking out of place. I was doing you a favor.”
“By hurting me? You little jerk! That was so mean, I’m telling on you. Maaaarth, he pulled my hair!”
“Did not!”
“Did to!”
“Did not!”
“DID TO!!!”
“Enough!” Marth said. “I don’t want to hear anymore about it. Roy, say you are sorry.”
“But I didn’t do it to hurt him.”
“I don’t care, you still need to apologize.”
“Yeah, say your sorry.” Link said, glaring at Roy with a smirk on his face. Roy glared back.
“Tell you what, how about I hurt you for real.”
And with that he lunged at Link bating away his DS and grabbing a fist full of hair as well as his right wrist, pining Link down.
“Hey! Stop it you creep!” Link replied while kicking his feet out to stop Roy and smacking the side of his head with his free hand. Ike rolled his eyes and ignored them. Marth gritted his teeth.
“Stop it now guys.”
“He started it!” Link called out in-between slaps and hits.
“I do not care who started it, because if you to don’t stop right now I will finish it.”
His words had no affect. The fighting continued like he had never said anything. Marth sighed and turned to Ike.
“What are we going to do with them?”
“Well, we could yell and scream at them for hours on end with no end results or join the fight ourselves but that wouldn’t work either. Oh, there is the option of stopping and leave them at Aunt Fanny’s house.”
Both Link and Roy instantly stopped fighting and looked at Ike with a look of absolute horror. Roy climbed of Link and sat back in his seat. Then he picked up Link’s DS and handed it to him.
“Here you go. Sorry about puling you hair.”
“Thanks. And I forgive you.”
It was silent for a few seconds.
“Who is Aunt Fanny?” Marth inquired curiously.
“My aunt on my mothers side.” Ike replied in a very casual manner.
“So are they scared of her?”
“You have no idea what she’s like!” Roy said, a tremor in his voice.
“She likes to make us clothing and dress us up like, like… little boys.” Link chimed in. Roy suppressed a shutter.
“Well, we know how to get you two of you to behave now.” Marth said, a smile lighting up his face.
“I don’t like that look of yours.” Ike said warily.
“Oh, I am just starting to like this Aunt Fanny more and more."
Roy and Link where silent as the grave.
And they didn’t fight with each other for a long time.

Happy Easter!

He is risen! Have a wonderful Easter!!!!! ♥

Lego Address Labels

I love Legos and I thought it would be cool to make address labels. I tried a few ideas for the photo and this is was I came up with.
I went into Lego Digital Creator and put a single 4x2 brick on the screen and then I took a screenshot. (go up to Tool Box and select Take a Schreenshot. It will save it to your pictures.)

Then I took it to Picnik and put the words on it. You could also use Photoshop if you wanted to. Then you print it up and tape it to your package or print it on sticker paper then put it on. Here are a few samples I made… (I came up with the address’s).
 

 

And then I got a photo of a brick from some building instructions and used that.
 

 
So, which do you like better? I like the first one’s best. Have a great week everyone!

Hurray to you!!!! I will also be contacting you about sending it to you.
I would like to thank EVERYONE who entered in my first giveaway on my new blog. I loved hearing your wonderful valentines memories and thank you for the kind words! Here are some of my favorite comments.


“My favorite Valentine memory is of when I was 18 and made a huge, huge cookie for my boyfriend. It was in the shape of a heart and filled the entire cookie sheet. I decorated it with frosting and walnuts and chocolate chips and coconut. It was a huge hit! And a few years later I married the boyfriend. :D” ~LaTeaDah (This is my favorite!♥)



“What a lovely and charming giveaway! Everything is so divine. :) Our tradition: My husband and I always like to go out to the movies (this year it shall be "Valentine's Day") and dinner. We both LOVE Indian food, and that is where we shall go. Can't wait. He usually gives me flowers each year, but I prefer a red mix of lovelies and not just roses. I always buy him a box of chocolates (with nuts, his favorite).
Most sincerely, Theresa”


“My favorite Valentine memories are with my children, baking heart shaped sugar cookies. The kids loved to pour on the sprinkles and dip fingers in the frosting.
Happy Valentine's Day, Auberne.” ~Jody


Thanks again! Happy valentines day from Chris, Edward, Link, Brandon and me! Have a wonderful day!

Don't mess with this

As a padawan to master Skywalker, I need all the strength I can get. That’s why I have 3 servings of dairy a day. Studies suggest the nutrients can help you maintain a healthy weight, plus the protein helps build muscle for a lean body. Because how else am I to keep up with him?



Drink well. Live well.
