Stinkey Monkey Pudding

He gave me a sample of his Vanilla Matcha and Chocolate puddings and I indulged in much of both for breakfast! No one would be able to tell they were coconut based, gluten free, dairy free and vegan. I liked that they were just sweet enough, with a slight crunch, I'm suspecting is contributed by the low-glycemic sweetener, palm sugar. It's a great source of essential fats (coconut milk) and antioxidants (cacao powder and matcha powder).

Aubrey Organics

There are many newer companies that formulate their skin + hair care line of products with really natural ingredients and ethical values. Of the handful of older companies is Aubrey Organics, a company founded in 1967 by Mr. Aubrey Hampton, producing a wide range of skincare (for oily, dry, normal and sensitive complexions), hair care and newest to the company, makeup items. They use grapefruit seed extract, aka citric seed extract, in combination with vitamins A, C and E to make 'Aubrey's Preservative'.

Harmful Ingredients in Cosmetics

It's so sad that almost all of the everyday personal care items stocking the shelves at Target and Walmart, even fancy department store brands are full of harmful synthetic chemicals. These bottle of creams, shampoos, etc, are brightly labeled with colorful images and promises for wrinkle reductions, whitening sun spots and repairing damaged hair -- all the while adding to the toxic burden on our bodies.

Cucumber Avocado Gazpacho

I love chilled summer soups that are filling yet refreshing. I happened to have most of the ingredients required to make Health Bitch Daily's awesome recipe of this soup and it was yummy! Stay cool and fed as the temperature starts to creep!

Do you know how to be married?

If I could have a quarter for every time someone I knew asked me, “do you think he/she is my soul mate?” then I'd be moving into Bill Gates' house. Ellen McCarthy of the Washington Post recently published an article entitled, “The Marriage Myth: Why do so many couples divorce? Maybe they just don't know how to be married.” The article touches on some really important relational aspects, which I list below…with my own spin, of course:

Handy Dandy Electric Kettles

My old electric kettle was plastic so I started to use a small pot, but after almost burning down the house a few times, I decided to search for a stainless steel electric kettle. I was down to the Breville's Ikon Electric Kettle, the Breville's Variable Temperature Kettle and the Hamilton Beach Cool Touch Electric Kettle.

The Magic Bullet

I use this small but mighty tool just about everyday -- and most of the time, more than once a day -- so I figured it deserves a place on this site.

Curried Chicken Salad Sandwich

The perfect picnic lunch - chilled chicken salad with a punch! It was a hit this weekend when I make my usual Chicken Curry Salad with a bit more jazz as a sandwich for my friend's Bridal Shower Brunch.

Orange Dreamsicle

Reminiscent of my childhood hot summer days with sticky orange creamsicles on bicycles and of my adolescent trips to the mall with a big styrofoam cup of Orange Julius, this wholesome version of the orange-and-cream pair will trigger your taste buds to walk down memory lane too.
