Jump your way to a Better Body!

When I was younger, jump roping was one of my absolute favorite things to do. When my elementary school would host its annual "Jump Rope for Heart" event in partnership with the American Heart Association, I would jump on the opportunity (pun intended).

Happy to say that I am finally done with the blog layout. It took me an hour or so to do which wasn't too bad. I think the yellow aspect of it makes it sunny, bright and happy!

Forever zesty,

Finally Open for Business!


A little preview of the upcoming layout!
After a year of developing and brainstorming ideas for our blog, we're proud to welcome you to our official blog,
Lemon to Pepper
!

We started this idea since the beginning of our freshmen year in college. We kind of slowly developed the idea and with the help of our friends, thought of a name. We never got around to actually making the site though until now (thank god for summer)! Still a few kinks and construction we need to address on the website, but we'll be posting content real soon!

Thanks for checking out Lemon to Pepper. We hope to bring everyone great insight about all sorts of things! We're excited to share all this content with you guys!


Forever zesty,
