My skin hates winter. Look what happens… Also, the fact that I’m a germaphobe who washing her hands way too much doesn’t help. This homemade body scrub is a great little helper for exfoliating and moisturizing during the winter months.

Veggie Fajita Chili
I live off of Amy’s Organic Soups. In my work bag, they go and out for a quick lunch. But my mother warned me recently of the high BPA levels in canned products and suggested I stop eating those soups.
