Fruits and Veggies and Make-up oh my!

My friend works with a make-up artist who only uses natural and organic cosmetics.  She introduced us to 100% Pure, and we're HOOKED!  The mascara is a must - I have the blueberry and it actually smells like blueberries!  This is taken from the FAQ's on their website:

Why 100% pure?

“As much as 60% of topical skin-care products are absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream,” Says Dr. Nancy Lonsdrof, M.D. an lowa-based physician, “They should be consumed with the same prudence that we use to choose our breakfast cereal.” – April 2006 issue of Women's Health Magazine. There are many toxic chemicals in cosmetic products that have been clinically proven to cause cancer, tumors, irritation and many different skin disorders. 100% products are truly 100% Pure-no synthetic chemicals, chemical preservatives, artificial fragrances, artificial colors, harsh detergents or any other unhealthy toxins.

More Muffins!

My friends, Chris and Shaunte, tried the pumpkin muffins the other day and made a great suggestion.  Next time they make them, they're gonna use chunky applesauce and a touch of nutmeg - I will definitely be trying that!  Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed them! This is how theirs turned out (these definitely look more impressive than mine!)  I'm beaming :)

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies!!!

Ta da! A gluten free cookie that looks like a cookie, feels like a cookie, tastes like an amaaaazing cookie, and can be made in your very own kitchen!!!  My gluten-full friends, you may not find anything unbelievably extraordinary about this cookie.  It is, after all, one of the most standard and simple American treats.  My gluten-free friends, however, you might want to get out the box of tissues and have a seat before trying these...it could get a little emotional ;)

When you're baking it's about formulas, when you're cookin' it's about feeling.
