I know most people associated getting healthy with January, but it’s something I try to think about every day. I love my desserts while making sure my body also gets healthy foods and products. It’s all about moderation and I believe that’s what should be stressed from the beginning.     Just what my eyes need… When I was approached by Cornea Care to try their products, I didn’t have to think long about that one. I am under treatment for dry eyes as well as heliotrope eyes and have a lot of eye pain. I can honestly say I am overwhelmed with how soothing these products have been for me. I start my day with the Rise Wipes , which have hyaluronic acid and tea tree oil. After wiping my eyes, I then use the wipe on the rest of my face. I use Rest , the self-heating eye mask, every night before I go to sleep and Rescue cooling masks whenever my eyes need a little extra relief. While Cornea Care products do not contain any medication, I still suggest you check with ...

I’ve seen a lot of my mail carrier and FedEx this last month. I haven’t even gotten to half of it, but I did discover some fantastic products that I wanted to pass along.   The perfect tote… You can use this Urban Originals for just about anything. It’s even large enough for my 10 lb. Yorkie! It’s vegan leather, making it light and easy to clean. I especially love the color combinations in this Riviera Stripes Tote . It also matches my luggage and just about anything I would wear. Visit the Urban Originals website to see more of their unique and fun bags. They can also be purchased at department stores such as Macy’s and Nordstrom.   Speaking of vegan… Parma , the vegan parmesan cheese, has some new flavors. One that you must get is the Parma Jalapeno Bacon. It is perfect on popcorn! You can buy Parma Jalapeno Bacon , as well as their other options, on Amazon.       Turn on the grill… or air fryer… or crockpot… I received a lot of b...

It’s summer time and fruit is ripening everywhere. I’m always ready for something fresh (and healthy) this time of year. Cinnamon for any fruit... Remember Fireball? If you’re over 30, chances are you haven’t (hopefully) been downing those sticky sweet cinnamon shots in a while. Heeet Vodka is the grownup version of Fireball. It’s not as sweet, definitely not as sticky, and you’ll want to enjoy it, not down it in a gulp. This all-natural vodka is distilled six times and made in small batches for ultimate flavor. I loved Heeet Vodka just on the rocks, but here’s a quick recipe that will give you a fruitier alternative to enjoy this summer. Tropical Heeet 4oz Pineapple Juice 11/2 oz HEEET 1 oz Ginger Ale Splash of grenadine Garnish with a slice of pineapple Fill a tall glass with ice and add the ingredients in order. Nothing like cherry cobbler… Cherries are my favorite summer fruit.   Oliver Winery has taken that semi-sweet fruit to a di...
