I am really conscious about what I put on my skin. Over the years I have continued to refine and "clean up" my beauty supply. I look back on some of the products I used to use and I think "YUCK... what was I thinking". I guess I wasn't thinking really, I was just after 1 thing: to look good! I didn't consider the long list of nasty ingredients that were being absorbed by my skin into my precious system on a daily basis. Fortunately NOW I am aware, and I want to share with you some of my personal favorite body products.

BEWARE: Hidden Sources of Sugar in "Health" Foods

I generally have a pretty low sugar diet and encourage the same for my clients. The general Western population gets excess amounts of sugar from processed and packaged foods such as ice-cream and cookies - some of the obvious.
