“You can’t outrun your fork” is an adage that we repeat time and again to remind ourselves about the importance of sticking with a healthy diet. Our health, in many ways, begins and ends in the kitchen. If we’re putting healthy fule into our bodies, we’re going to run like a well oiled machine - and the inverse is true, as well. When we put too much junk in our system, our health suffers.

Let’s get it straight: the foods you eat have a direct effect on your skin. Whatever your complexion concerns might be, from dryness and flaking (try water-dense, high-fat snacks) to oiliness and acne (take a break from high glycemic index foods), your diet can have a positive or negative impact depending on how closely you monitor it.

Holiday traditions are one of my favorite things about this time of year. When I was a little kid, I remember my grandmother would always make fudge every year for our family. The unmistakable smell would draw me in, and I absolutley could not wait for those tasty morsels to cool enough to eat!
On the other side of the family, my grandmother made what she called "nuts and bolts" which was a binge-worthy chex mix. Yum yum yum! Carrying on the recipe tradition when my kids were little, I started out by making the granola I'll be detailing below.
It's the perfect snack when you are on the go and serves as a nice side dish for a holiday brunch and is equally great for afterschool snacks, when made into a parfait with yogurt. If you're looking for a simple, tasty and versatile recipe, I hope you enjoy my take on granola as much as my family and friends have over the years!

I have tried many clean makeup brands and honestly, I just haven't found anything that I really love or want to purchase again and again. I'm either disappointed by the wearability or lack of pigmentation. When I tried the NuEvolution foundation it immediately felt and looked like my natural complexion - not like a caked-on cover-up. I was ecstatic! I literally couldn't believe my eyes.

Halloween is just around the corner, and even though you probably won’t be attending any large gatherings, you’re still planning to wear an awesome costume for your Instagram photos. Unfortunately, your skin might not love your look as much as you do.
Costume makeup is notorious for containing ingredients that irritate the skin and clog pores. You might think to yourself, but it’s only for one night! While that may be true, is it worth applying a product that will cause a week or two of breakouts afterward? As you get ready to purchase supplies for your costume, take note of the skincare tips listed below to save your face from redness and irritation:

It’s that time of year again: pumpkin lattes, sweaters, falling leaves, and falling temperatures! With all of that comes another unfortunate reality - our summer tans will be fading and the damage it sometimes brings with it will be all that remains.
With that in mind, I wanted to talk a little bit about skin discoloration - or hyperpigmentation - and what you can do to prevent it, treat it, and otherwise keep your skin looking as glorious in October as it did in July.
