So AT&T sent me the care package below after I reviewed the HTC OneX and signed up for their ItCanWait campaign, which is a campaign against texting and driving. They offered to let me review the new Samsung Galaxy SIII and do a giveaway for one lucky reader.

They were comfortable and worked well! USB and charger Quick Start Guide – which is...

Back and Biceps for January/February

Posted by monika @ fit foodies on Jan 14, 2013 in arms, back, fitness | 0 comments

So I asked what workouts you guys want to see first on Facebook and it looks like back and biceps and legs were the two highest. Since I love posting my legs workouts I think I will start off with the back and bicep workout for a little variety. This is what I will be doing for the next few weeks – I usually change my workouts every couple of weeks.
