As working parents who love to travel with our kids, it's essential that we try to maximize every holiday trip. Our annual leave is limited, our disposable income is limited and having to coordinate with our kids' holiday schedule is another tall order.

Benefits of Slow Juicing with Hurom Juicer
When cancer came knocking “People generally don’t think about what they eat or drink…until cancer hits them.” I was making this remark to a close friend over the weekend. In fact, the truth is, we were like that too. While we don’t purposefully load ourselves with fatty, oily or sugary food, we weren't mindful of the nutrients our body needs to recuperate and rebuild.
