Hippie hygiene musings

A few years ago I switched from face lotion to plain old oil.  I have used coconut, jojoba, and kukui (and maybe others I can’t recall).  I have always loved Caribbean Sol’s products, although you can get coconut oil everywhere these days.  Then my MD gave me crap (rightfully so) for not using something with spf.  So now I use oils in winter and something with spf the rest of the year when I’m actually in the sun for longer than parking lot walks. I previously blogged about block island’s sunscreen because it’s totally awesome.  And now they are diversifying… Read more >

Deep dish polenta casserole

I have a limited rotation of breakfasts that I make for Kyle, usually strata or coffee cake (with days of cereal in between if I can’t get my act together in time).  It’s because those are the easiest things to make and then last a while which streamlines mornings for us all. But then this idea came to me when we had all the ingredients for a strata but no bread.  Polenta!  And to make it last a while, why not make it in a big baking dish?  YES.  YES YES YES.  And it was so… Read more >

Gimbal’s candy is allergy free and delicious

Ok, this may seem odd given the way most of you know me (through the blog, not in real life) which means you only know what I’ve shared since 2007 or whenever I started this thing.  Buuuuuuut…I used to eat candy as a meal.  The bulk bin stuff, sweet and sour and sugar coated…the more neon the better and that’s the truth.  Sometimes I’d have candy for both lunch and dinner.  Of the same day. I single handedly kept the Ackerman candy store in business…and Ralph’s candy aisle with the bulk bins?  That was my home.  For reals.  I wish… Read more >

Ten Reviews

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. I’d heard great things about this sauce (from what I understand, it’s fame grew from a farmer’s market in SD) so when I saw it in Whole Foods I thought, how cool, now it’s sold in stores!?  I should try it!  So I did. Um, holy spicy hot hot heat!  This is just way too… Read more >

My pitaya smoothie

This is not photoshopped to look this color.   DID YOU HEAR ME!?! This delicious smoothie is actually this vivid pink purple gorgeous shade of healthy.  I’d venture to go as far as to say it was even more vivid in person, too!!  Seriously. Good food is pretty.  And it’s kinda awesome that it makes you feel good for multiple reasons.  Like beyond the stellar nutrient profile that fuels me, it makes me smile and puts a spring in my step because HELLO it is bright violet yumminess in my face! Let me tell you about Pitaya Plus…. Read more >
