Kiss My... Face!

The turbulent weather over the last few weeks has put many of us Wichitans, including myself, into a tizzy of looking forward to more stable and warmer days. Have no fear, sunnier days are on their way. Friendlier weather also means it's time to do a bit of Spring Cleaning on those luscious legs to prepare them for cropped pants and shorts season. "Kiss My Face Moisture Shave" is packed with soothing aloe and olive oil plus many potent botanicals that combine to give a luxurious shave! It's also a great shaving cream choice for men and with choices ranging from woodsy Patchouli to tropical Key Lime, you'll have a tough decision selecting the best one!

Vegan Wednesday! Tree of Life Almond Milks!

Tree of Life almond milks are now available at Food For Thought! At $1.69 each, they are a bargain! Stop by and stock up today!

Almond milk is my favorite when it comes to "milk substitutes". It has the best flavor, is great for baking and tasty in cereal. It also packs a good nutritional punch, check out these benefits:
*Good source of magnesium, therefore it's excellent for bone health.
*Loaded with manganese, selenium, and vitamin E. All are great for immune health, and help prevent cell damage.
*Packed with UNsaturated fat, meaning it's great for heart health.
*Almond skins are a good source of flavonoids, also great for a healthy heart.
*Rich in potassium, which helps you maintain a healthy blood pressure.
*Lots of healthy protein, which helps the body's growth and repair.
