Get your Glow On - Glowing Skin Can Be Yours.

Written by Barbara Devaney - March 06 2016

You know that old saying "beauty starts from within" well in the case of your skin, it's in part true. What we eat has a direct impact on our skin so it's essential to eat a diet full of antioxidants, Vitamin C and good fats.  Choose blueberries as they are one of the easiest ways to get them. 
Avocados are famously great for your skin high in omega 9s - they keep the skin looking firm and dewy and help regenerate damaged skin cells.  
Food is only part of getting glowing skin, another important part is gentle exfoliation, with a super rich and moisturizing exfoliant like Apotheke's Verbena Sugar Scrub.  Takes 2 minutes in the shower to clean and moisture your skin -- leaving it glowing.  
And don't forget your face, after cleaning spray on some Mullein&Sparrow Lavender Hydrosol, then moisturize as usual. It helps keep in the moisture on your face. This Hydrosol also makes a delightful fragrance.
Here's to keeping you glowing!

Eating Well in the Fall

Written by Barbara Devaney - October 26 2015

Cooler weather doesn’t have to mean we give up eating fresh fruits and vegetables.  Autumn has officially ushered in a whole new crop of fresh foods that are so nutritious, they‘ll go head-to-head with summer’s heirloom tomatoes and organic berries. Here, a few insider recommendations that should inspire healthy fall eating.
While pomegranate juice is famous for its antioxidants, enjoying it in aril-form adds fiber – 3 grams per half cup, to be exact– making it an even better choice.
Brussel sprouts contain glucosinates, compounds that may help fight cancer and trigger your body to release detoxifying enzymes. Sprouts can be delicious simply roasted and salted.
Sweet potatoes - your body converts the beta-carotene in sweet potatoes into vitamin A, making it a top source of the nutrient – a medium sweet potato has about 500% of immunity-boosting, skin-protecting vitamin A.
What's your favorite fall food?  Eat well and enjoy.
