Hello. My name is Melissa Coates. My hobbies are shopping and exercising. I love clothes and shoes. I especially love finding a good bargain!
I never, EVER thought I would say this, but I also enjoy exercising. I do yoga,weight lifting, and walking/jogging. I LOVE my Ellen Barrett workouts. She does yoga, ballet, and Pilates fusion. It is barefoot! I love that I can enjoy exercise without feeling tortured.
