Allergies, Colds, and Flu, Oh My!

A chorus of sneezes and a harmony of coughs are just a part of the Autumn season. Allergies, colds, and flus are running around and seem to touch everyone in some shape or form. But there's hope for the kleenex addicts out there!

"Kiss My Face", a well established line of beauty products, offers a shower gel that promises to "provide a dose of soothing comfort". Their "Cold and Flu Body and Shower Gel" is made with therapeutic Eucalyptus that will calm and cool any malady, Fennel, a wonderful anti-inflammatory, as well as Horehound, an aromatic ingredient that also helps sooth. Olive Oil, Aloe Vera, and Allantoin will also serve as a pick-me-up during the most uncomfortable time of this season of change!

So if allergies, colds, or flus have you feeling down, stop by Food For Thought and snatch up a bottle of pure soothing comfort, "Kiss My Face's Cold and Flu Shower and Bath Gel".

Angie's Lite Kettlecorn

Food for Thought now carries Angie's Kettlecorn, including their "lite" version! True, you could purchase a "pop it yourself" brand from the grocery store but did you know that most microwave varieties are made with hydrogenated oils and the artificial sweetener Sucralose? This is due to the fact that sugar in the microwave burns. So if you are looking for a healthy version that's simply made with only popcorn, corn oil, sugar and sea salt look no further than Angie's! They use no artificial flavors or preservatives in a facility that is free of nuts and wheat.

A two and a half cup serving will run you 120 calories with only 4 grams of fat, 4 grams of sugar and 3 grams of fiber!

Supplement Shorts: D3

Dodge disease and stay Happy with Viamin D3

Blood levels of certain nutrients drop as we age, slowing production of mood-boosting neurotransmitters. Luckily, scientists have discovered that upping your intake of the "sunshine" vitamin makes you 40% less likely to suffer from age-related depression! It boosts your brain's production of serotonin, the most important mood-regulating chemical. It also boosts immune systems as we age, slashing our risks of getting sick up to 50%.

Aim for a 2,000-IU supplement daily, or spend 15 minutes in the sun without sunscreen.

Pucker Up!

Flipping through the pages of several fashion magazines, I noticed the bright reds, luscious pinks, and other vibrant shades of lipstick that have made their way back to the front covers. Envious of the bold tones, I quickly rushed out and snatched up a coral tone cosmetic of my own. But after a little studying, I've discovered the health danger hiding behind a colorful camouflage.

New studies indicate that several name-brand lipsticks contain trace amounts of lead, one of the ingredients that gives lipstick its vivid color! The heavy metal has been linked as a leading cause in several types of cancer! While the FDA has set limits for other products containing lead, cosmetics have no such regulations. However, there are two fabulous alternatives that promise clean ingredients while making your lips oh-so-kissable! "Nvey", an all organic makeup line, and "Lavera" have a variety of lipsticks and tints that come to the rescue! So next time you're tempted to rush out and grab up the latest color, consider these lovely selections!

Sensible Portions Cinnamon Apple Straws

If you are looking for a low calorie snack that tastes good with no preservatives and no trans than look no further. Sensible Portions now has a cinnamon apple straw. However, I will warn you, your "sensible portion" may be a little skewed after trying one bite. It has a really great crunch with a hint of spice. Lightly dusted in a cinnamon sugary goodness.

.........you may need help putting the bag down though.
