October 14th. has been designated as National Dessert Day! No, it is not a Palm Beach County holiday, but a national holiday according to NationalToday.com.  Treat yourself!  Calories do not count today, so make sure to pick up that box of donuts, cookies, or a decadent cake you may have been dreaming about for quite some time.

You’ve earned it!  The gym will be there in the…
