The winter months can be brutal on the appearance of your hands.  Not only are your nails more frail, but your skin becomes dry and scaly.  You can keep your hands pretty with regular exfoliation.  When your hands need some 911 help, follow these instructions:  At least twice a day, wash your hands with a vegetable-based all-natural sugar scrub.  A vegetable-based sugar scrub does not leave your hands feeling like an oil slick…veggie-based formulas have a perfect consistency of super soft sugar.  The soft sugar will gently exfoliate the top layer of dry skin on the hands, and leaves a protective soft coating on your hands.  Follow with lotion and your hands will look great in a matter of days.

Supernatural Botanicals Grapefruit Sugar Scrub

Terminology:  Organic Cotton (and why we should use it.)  Organically grown cotton is not treated with pesticides, herbicides, or petroleum based fertilizers, nor does it use genetically engineered seed.  In the United States, Egypt, India, and other countries, farmers are raising cotton organically, without the use of costly, often ineffective and dangerous chemicals.Look at labels and buy organic when given the option.   Tres eco-chic!

Terminology:

Vegetarian:  A vegetarian is an individual who chooses, for health, environmental, ethical, or religious reasons to abstain from the consumption of animal flesh, including poultry and fish. 

Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian:  A lacto-ovo vegetarian eats no flesh, but consumes dairy (lacto) and eggs (ovo). 

Vegan:  A vegan (pronounced VEE-gun) is an individual who chooses to abstain from the consumption of all animal products.  While vegetarians avoid flesh foods, vegans also avoid dairy and eggs as well as fur, leather, and other goods that cause suffering to animals.
