It’s all Greek to me
~Lately I've been trying to eat a little healthier, and what could be healthier than Greek yogurt? I've never been that big a fan of Greek yogurt, mainly for its texture and distinct taste, but I was willing to give it another try. And I'm glad I did!

Broccoli Binge
~Like most children, I was not a fan of broccoli or anything green growing up. But as I and my palate matured I came to not only like broccoli, but rather enjoy it.

Burt’s Bees Beauty Challenge: Final Thoughts
~So the Burt's Bees Beauty Challenge has come to its end, and I have mixed feelings about the gentle foaming cleanser with royal jelly.

Burt’s Bees Beauty Challenge: Day 2 (yesterday)
~Playing a little catch up today, was too tired to post yesterday. Everything is still going well with the challenge, still using both products twice daily (morning and night). With the acne spot treatment, it did help to clear up the spots on my chin, but a new pimple apppeared overnight
