This scrub is delicious on so many levels! It smells like brownies, exfoliates the skin with crushed cocoa seeds and softens with sugar. The fact that it actually heats up as you massage it into your skin just makes it that much more crave-worthy!
For those of us who overindulged during the holidays, our bellies may be screaming for relief. Luckily, there’s GoodBelly, a juicy, delicious drink that contains live, active probiotic cultures to help get your digestion in good shape. These drinks are organic, dairy-free, soy-free and vegan. Best of all, they taste just like a refreshing juice drink, all while settling upset tummies. Enjoy!
We all know that with increased exercise comes an increased need for hydration, and for those of us vowing to move more in 2012, it’s important that we remain vigilant about our water intake. While all water works for keeping thirst at bay, one of our favorite bottled waters on the market right now is Penta.
As I was thinking about new year’s resolutions this season, I stumbled across the following description of one of my favorite cheeses, Piave Vecchio: “…named ‘extra old’ for its extra time in the cellar — an investment that pays off in a rock-hard body glistening with a deep golden tan.”
Did you know that today’s well-known Kombucha drink is actually a natural folk remedy that has been in existence for more than 2,000 years? It got its name from a Korean physician, Dr. Kombu, who treated Emperor Inkyo with this fermented tea or “Cha” from China, thus Kombu + Cha = Kombucha.
After the holidays, we all look for ways to eat healthier — and let’s be honest, we all enjoy a snack. Keep your snacking healthy this season by loading up on delicious fruit treats. Wawona frozen fruit from Fresno has been grown on a family farm for more than 60 years. Their fresh-frozen fruit is hand picked at the peak of ripeness and processed within 24 hours to capture that fresh-fruit taste. When fresh peaches and strawberries are out of season, you can still find them in these frozen bags.
After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it’s time to relieve some stress. New Chapter Perfect Calm is a great, organic, whole-food multi-vitamin with added organic herbs that can help calm stress.
