In today’s blog post, I’m going to answer Chico’s question: How Bold Are You? Earlier this year, Chico’s reached out to me and a few other ladies in the Forever Fierce group to participate in their spring/summer campaign about age positivity.
Nothing ushers in spring like my annual tradition of attending the nation’s largest and oldest indoor horticultural show. This year, the 2018 Philly Flower Show’s took a deep dive into the wonder of water.
