BEAUTY IS A LIFESTYLE THING

Avocado oil spray Photo Credit:MaryCaliendoPhoto2020 In a quest to eat better and do better for my health, I have chosen to substitute all vegetable oils for my family and myself. We can control what we use in our own homes, although we never know what we are consuming when we make a trip to a restaurant, food truck or street fest. This is what I use for a spray for sauteing, grilling, pan roasting, and baking. I accidentally bought this one day when reaching for another type of spray. I didn't notice until I was putting things away in the pantry that I realized my mistake. As I picked up the container to read it, I realized I had heard of this before and in fact, a person I followed on Instagram uses it incessantly. In my opinion, this was a great mistake to make.

This particular brand is awesome because not on

Korres Jasmine Shower Gel Consumer Review Why this review? This product is being reviewed for readers to highlight the label's natural ingredients and the transparency in which the company presents it on each of their labels. A Bit About The Company The Korres company is a Greek company with very humble beginnings. They were founded in 1996 by a pharmacist named Georgios Korres.

I am currently gathering information on an upcoming article I'm doing that is fitness related. I'd love to survey you as a reader on what types of fitness programs, apps, exercise equipment, fitness trackers or gyms you use. Do you personally go to the gym? Do you work out from home? Did you run right out and buy a Peloton Bike once you saw the commercial?  Are you still into the 1990's sensation Billy Blanks Tae bo? Are you a mall walker or trail hiker?  Finally, do you purchase your products from Amazon, or go to a sport and fitness store, a mom and pop local boutique store, or other mass-market type stores? As I speak to people I have found so many varying types of ideas on what working out and exercising means to each individual, as well as the means to achieve their goals.  After a period of time, I hope

Some of the studies I have found were done many, many years ago and every single lifestyle blogger keeps on repeating them because the sources are really good; like NASA for example. We know that astronauts do a lot of testing while they're on their missions. We have gained so much vast and valuable knowledge from their testing and that of other scientists doing testing as well. But different data, including environmental, may have impacted changes in the studies. As I continued to do research, I found newer studies that have been done that completely update that old myth that plants purify the air. As reported in National Geographic Magazine, the Scientists at The Journal of Exposure Scienc
