Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: This strange-sounding chemical is actually SOAP. Unfortunately, you would never consider brushing your teeth with soap, but billions of people do it every day because it’s a very [...]

Natural Fact of the Day
Something to think about: Since at least 60% of everything we put on our skin is actually absorbed into our bodies, we should be selecting skin care products with as much care as what we choose to eat! {via}

Green Tea Face Mask
This is such a simple mask that is excellent for infusing skin with antioxidants and reducing inflammation. How to: Simply combine the contents of one tea bag of green tea with high quality H20 (for normal skin), whole milk (for sensitive/dry skin), or apple cider vinegar (for oily/blemish-prone). I saved the bag from a cup [...]

Aside from the usual suggestions of a dark room, comfy bedding, avoiding caffeine, here are some snack ideas that aren’t just healthy, but actually encourage a restful night’s [...]

Take the Bitter Out of Those Greens!
I have to admit that I sometimes pass up super healthy, dark green veggies like mustard greens, turnip greens and dandelion greens because they seem to always turn out on the ultra bitter side. Not anymore! Now I know the right way to cook them - simply quick boil* them in unsalted water. No steaming and no adding salt while they’re [...]
