Recipe: Bliss Bowl
Salads are usually our favorite way to load up on tons of fresh veggies, but today’s weather had me craving more of a comfort food – something hearty and warm. Before I eliminated soy from my diet, going to Café Yumm was a great, quick place to grab a meal – their Yumm Bowls were to die…

Less is More | Tried & True Healthy Hair Tips
If you were to look in my bathroom and shower two years ago, you would have found drawers and cabinets filled with dozens of different hair products, all cruelty-free and non-toxic, of course 😉 Shampoos, conditioners, gels, styling creams, pomades – you name it!
