St Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub

Yesterday I went to my local drugstore and wandered around the aisles for good deals. I ended up finding an amazing product! I am talking about St Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub. It is so amazing, and it smells awesome too! It is oil free, contains salicylic acid, it's not tested on animals, does not contain animal products, and it's formulated without parabens or phthalates.

It says it is supposed to clear and soothe skin as well as reduce redness and acne. I do not have acne but this scrub is so gentle and amazing! It removed all my dry skin and makeup and leaves soft and wonderful smelling skin behind. I have sensitive skin too and it works marvelously with my skin type. I also gave some of this product to a friend and she too found it awesome. So check this product out next time you're at the store. Or you can find it on amazon here.

Easter Egg Dyeing Tip

Welcome Easter! If you're like me and everyone else who likes to dye eggs for Easter you know that when boiling the eggs sometimes they some of them tend to crack. So here is a little tip I have learned over the past few years to come out with crack free eggs. If you put the cold eggs in the boiling water much of them will crack. So instead put your eggs in regular room temperature water and then boil them together.

Happy Easter!

Animal Crackers- Annie's Bunny Graham Friends

I reccently had an intense craving for something sweet like graham crackers or animal crackers. I ended up checking out their ingredients at the store and decided my craving needed to relax because I was not going to eat hydrogenated oils. Which are indeed trans fats. So as I was walking out of the aisle my eyes stumbled upon this cool retro tie dye box with cute little bunny cookies on it.

I had in fact come into contact with Annie's Bunny Graham Friends. Let me tell you when I turned the box to its side to read the ingredient's I was pleasantly surprised at how many organic ingredients were present. All this with no butter or unhealthy hydrogentated oils? Yes! Cookie jack pot! The box includes honey graham bunnies, chocolate bunnies, and chocolate chip bunnies. They are so good let me tell you. Everytime you reach into the box you never know which one you'll get and you will be delighted with each one you eat.

Sometimes I want something sweet but not too indulgent. I find this snack idea fills my craving! Wasa bread is healthy, low calorie, crunchy, versatile, and yummy! If you are having an issue getting in your fiber or whole grain intake in then Wasa Bread may be your fix. It has about 40 calories per piece with a 2g fiber and 12 g whole grain! Also, 0g sugar! Wow!

1 Whole Grain Wasa Bread
1-2 tsp. Mara Natha Peanut Butter

2 Whole Grain Wasa Bread
1 wedge Laughing Cow Cheese split vertically (1/2 for each Wasa Bread)

Best Nut Butter - MaraNatha

I love having peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. I had found out however that my previously used brands sneaked trans fat in them! You see if they contain partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated oils then they contain trans fats. Trans fats are horrible for your health and attach themselves to your arteries leading to health problems! Why should such a healthy and delicious snack or lunch become so bad for your health?

Knowing this I switched my peanut butter to those all natural organic ones you can find in your health food stores. Well I didn't mind the taste but the problem was all the oil was on top and a hard butter was settled onto the bottom. Everyday I would wrestle with my spoon to try to mix them to be able to spread the butter onto my toast! This made me want to go back to the unhealthy stuff again! Then my local store sent out their weekly flyer and it had no stir peanut butter advertised. I was elated! I went to the store and bought some of this peanut butter and OMG I was in love! This stuff tastes just like my childhood peanut butter and has the same texture! No more wrestling with the spoon for breakfast as I try to make it out the door on time! The brand of peanut butter I am talking about is MaraNatha. It is absolutely amazing! It's so delicious, healthy, and the texture is awesome! The one that I buy is even organic which is also a positive.

MaraNatha makes many other delicious spreads and nut butters which you should check out. Visit their website and see their many available varieties www.maranathafoods.com.
