Breakfast Smoothies

I've been pretty health conscious my whole life but my partner Clarence was one of those rubber kids that wouldn't dare look at a vegetable, could eat a quart of ice cream in one sitting,  followed by some pizza and Mt. Dew and not gain a pound.  He'd been getting older and after much pestering, I finally got him to make a doctor's appointment.  We got some discouraging news after his check up.  His cholesterol was through the roof.  They immediately put him on cholesterol lowing drugs which took care of the problem straight away.  That's all fine and dandy, but I'm too proactive to let that slide.  I wanted to make sure that we could also regulate the situation with exercise and diet.

Carmalized Ginger Treats

I don't do boats.  Cars can be a nightmare and my daily bus ride into the office is a coin toss on whether or not I'll be nauseous for the remainder of the AM.  If there was a annual Motion Sickness Parade I'd be leading it.  An accident as a teenager left me with a messy equilibrium so anything that takes me off my feet and moving can set me off.

Grapefruit Bath Scrubber

As anyone who knows me will tell you, I love DIY and saving the planet.  I feel pretty awesome every time I dump something into the appropriate recycling bin or reuse a yogurt container in a crafty way.  The logo on my super hero cape would be a couple of A's encircled by a very green planet.
