I love this product from Naturium. The skin is the body's largest organ, so it is essential to keep it healthy and nourished. Think that, while water intake helps hydrate from the inside, this product helps hydrate from the outside.

I make this zucchini bread every year. The recipe never fails, the bread always turns out moist and flavorful. I like to be a little heavy-handed on the cinnamon, but that's just me.

These window clings are awesome. They come with all the tools you need, you just need a bit of soapy water and they cling immediately. The rainbows it makes around my room when the sun comes through makes me so happy.

While I've been using Stash on and off for about 6 years now, I thought it deserved a mention. I have invested in over 20+ stocks and ETFs and have seen the growth in my finances over the years.

Fahlo is so cool. First you buy a super pretty bracelet with your animal and crystal of choice, and you get a unique code to track your animal on the Fahlo app. I have been tracking my elephant friend Wendy for a few weeks now.
