S moothies are a great way to kick start your day, boost your energy, and nourish your body. The best smoothies are nutrient-dense, providing vitamins and oils necessary for good nutrition.  1. Good thing about smoothies is that you can make them at home. A homemade smoothie for your morning meal is an excellent choice for breakfast on-the-go. You can make it minutes before you leave the house and sip it on your way to work, school or in your home office.

Belly dance emphasizes fine articulation of the core, pelvis, and gluteal muscle groups. These are stimulated in several ways. Movements like shimmies utilize a rapid contraction and release mechanism, while circles and eights tend to elongate and strengthen muscles simultaneously.  Join Fabila and Korra for this ehilarating two hours session...Treat your King this valentine this season!!!
