Heart healthy snack

Scary but true, our hubbies now take Lipitor to keep their cholesterol in check. In hopes of one day getting them off the drug we’ve been checking out potato chips. You read right, chips that have been proven to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Corazonas make heart healthy oatmeal squares, tortilla chips, and potato chips all of which were proven in more than 140 clinical studies to help fight [...]

Freeze-Dried Fruit Chips

While it may not curb our appetite for chocolate, there’s a lot to be said about the satisfyingly sweet nature of dried fruit.

Breakout control

We’re so not fans of the “it has to get worse before it get better” way of thinking. Unfortunately the facialist we saw last week seemed to be all about it – the result? We have a number of red blotches on our face after what we’re now deeming the worst facial of our life (at the Ritz no less!). When finding ourselves in a blemish pinch, we swear by the Clarisonic, but even [...]
