Homemade Lemon & Sugar Hand Scrub

I actually saw this on the Dr. Oz show from "Beauty Secrets from around the World". I guess women in Italy use this to keep their hands soft and looking young. I know exfoliating your skin is important, but how often do we really exfoliate our hands? I've tried the Mary Kay Satin Hands and it does feel good and makes your hands soft to exfoliate them. I decided to give this Dr. Oz recipe a try.

Lemon & Sugar Hand Scrub.
I didn't have any all-natural lemon juice or lemons, so I just used the lemon juice I had in the house. I just added regular sugar to a small bowl and added a little lemon juice to make a paste. You just take a little bit of the mixture and scrub into your hands and in between your fingers. You can even use this on your elbows and heels or any dry areas that need to be exfoliated. When you have scrubbed enough and feel exfoliated, you just rinse your hands well in warm water! My hands felt so soft I couldn't believe it! Then just apply some of your favorite hand lotion and enjoy your soft, smooth hands!

Almond Milk: Healthy, Vegan, AND Tasty?

I've been wanting to try almond milk for a while because I've heard it was good and super healthy. I finally found a good coupon in the paper and decided to buy some to try. I've had soy milk before and that was pretty good, but sort of gritty as you drink it. I bought the original and dark chocolate flavors of almond milk. My Silk Pure Almond Milk! Original and Dark Chocolate Flavors. When I took the first sip of the original almond milk, I couldn't believe how good it was! It's very smooth and tastes exactly like drinking liquid almonds! If you don't like almonds, the flavor is definitely overwhelming and you probably would not like almond milk. The dark chocolate flavor was my favorite and I could definitely see replacing regular dairy chocolate milk in my diet with the dark chocolate almond milk. Close-up of the almond milk cartons. I began researching into the health benefits of almond milk and found some interesting and promising information. ...

Is Your Laundry Detergent Exposing You To Chemicals and Toxins?

When we think of laundry, most of us think of that "fresh laundry scent" or the smell of Bounce Sheets and we associate those smells with clean clothes fresh out of the dryer. When you are at the store and you walk down that detergent aisle and take a whiff, the smell of "laundry" is overwhelming. No one really questions whether these "smells" are natural because we are so used to them being a part of our everyday lives. When I started looking into some of the ingredients in laundry detergents, I was amazed to find that they are loaded with chemicals and artificial fragrances. You would never think that a detergent that is supposed to clean your clothes would be so bad for you. I have a friend whose Mom is really into natural cleaning products so I asked what she uses for her laundry. She told me about Ecos Laundry Detergent which is sold at Sam's Club. I had seen it before and I decided that next time I was there, I would give it a try. I used to us...
