1. Four years ago, Rosie was asked to be her best friends Maid of Honor. Rosie decided to eat clean and focus on eating mostly veggies. This began her clean eating wellness journey. She started with a restrictive plant based route, but soon learned that balance was necessary. [03:39]

3. Amazing food prep for the plane and hotel rooms. She got a little skillet, because some hotels don't offer microwaves. She would bring a spiralizer and heat zucchini in her room. This has made her job more fun. [08:05]
