</span></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">The weather is turning cold here in Pittsburgh. I am admiring the changes in the leaves but, not looking forward to the cooler temperatures. I am constantly cold. There is nothing better than relaxing with a hot mug in your hands to warm up. Specialty beverages from coffee shops and cafes often have a lot of hidden sugar and calories. To live a healthier life and start every day on a warm note, make these 3 fall drinks at home!</span></div>
