Not to mention that I’ve been plagued with black heads again and I felt like it was related to my lotion. The helpful lady in the skin section overheard my mom mention that [...]

I enjoy the flavor and the wonderful health benefits, but purchasing ready made can be pretty pricey. So, I have decided to take matters into my own hands and brew my own batch. I [...]

As a follow-up to my previous post “The ‘Buch is On!” I can say that it appears to have been a successful experiment. I finally had a thin, white, filmy pancake looking SCOBY grow on top of my tea brew. It looked like kombucha, it smelled like kombucha, so I called it done. I [...]

In particular I like GT’s Kombucha because it’s tart, fizzy and a healthy alternative to diet soda (which I also love, but doesn’t love me back). Unfortunately I can only buy it at my local Whole Foods and the convenience store on the bottom floor of my office building. While [...]

I’ve been riding for about 2 years now and started racing this year. I don’t have any biking experience really and tried cross-c0untry riding a handfull of times before making the switch. At first I was terrified and hated [...]

I’ve used plain fat-free yogurt in sauces for some time, but I’ve never really learned [...]

Spring and summer are not far off now and I’m looking forward to the warm weather and reworking my garden.  Gardening is some of the best exercise [...]
