I'm a beauty product junkie and spend a lot of time scouring the Internet for quality products that I can afford. Everything from body wash to anti-wrinkle creams to supplements, I've racked-up a good deal of knowledge. I'm happy to share the products I use on a consistent basis because now, more than ever, we need to be good to ourselves.

What do we do when times are tough? We MAKE do, with the best products we can find that are not only affordable but nutritious and soul-satisfying. Being that it's winter and temps in the Chicago area have plummeted, I especially enjoy comforting meals like stews and soups. Also, for someone who doesn't like to do a lot of prep, I'm constantly on the lookout for easy and healthy recipes. For example, it's amazing what you can do with canned beans and tuna! I like being able to throw together whatever I have on hand, combined with whatever items are currently on sale at our local market. Because, when the going gets tough--well, you know.
