      AG1 was caught up in a scandal recently. They tested the product and it was was false claims of what was in it. You can research it online. This is why they changed the name from Athletic Greens to AG1. No big concern of mine, I just seen a video on it. I enjoy your channel. Stay safe out there. World is crazy for sure.

    Awww Emi i am sorry you had to go through that. I understand the feeling of being followed too well😢. When you mentioned that Kelly had been riding in the front of the van when she usually doesn't, could have been her sensing something. She was trying to stay closer to you to sort of "warn" you. Animals are amazing at sensing danger. Stay safe and strong. We all have to be ready for anything because times are DEFINITELY changing. We can't control the future but we can make sure to be ready to protect ourselves 😊. Carry pepper spray etc. Strength training is also good and learning the basics of self defense is ALWAYS a good idea!

    There are so many wonderful things about Edmonton. Every city has its negative points. Because of the cultural diversities in Edmonton you have really great shops or restaurants. It may take time to find these. There is this wonderful Mediterranean bakery on the Northside that makes sandwiches, sells olives, olive oil and canned foods. There are wonderful u pick farms not too far away such as berry farms or honey farms. Farms near Spruce Grove or stony plain. You can go north or west to find these farms.
