I realize it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. Actually, life just seems to happen sometimes.
But I got to thinking about (what else!) the food we eat and how it affects our skin, hair and nails. And considering what I do for a living, I thought it would be appropriate to post the things [...]
I almost always have a smoothie as my first meal of the day and it usually consists of many veggies and fruits. Though they usually taste good, once in a while I make one that tastes a little strange, but that’s okay, I drink it more for the nutrition than for the taste. Today, however, [...]
