Alix I saw your stories about Vital Proteins...what are your thoughts on the Vital Proteins Beauty Collagen? I think Vital Proteins is an awesome clean source of collagen protein. I've only tried their beauty collagen once and it was super clumpy, so I gave up. I'm sure I did something wrong with how I mixed it in, but it seemed too complicated for me and I have just always stuck with the OG … [Read more...]

I'm looking for a new juicer...what one do you have? Heather has this one and likes it but doesn't use it everyday so doesn't mind having to clean all of the parts once in a while! I am sure there are nicer ones but this one works for how often I use it! Alix has this one and it does the job when I'm making celery juice or other blends.

I wrote a two posts about sugar and artificial sweeteners a while back, so definitely revisit those for a breakdown of both. If you want a zero cal sweetener I think stevia drops are the best option. If you want to avoid zero … [Read more...]

I saw on Instastories about your expired spices...do they really expire?! OK I might have overreacted, but when I saw an expiration date of 2014 in my spice cabinet I felt ill. According to the USDA spices are a shelf-stable product and never truly expire. What does occurs over time is that the flavor and potency of that flavor diminish. Whole spices will stay fresh for about 4 years and ground … [Read more...]

Have you tried the Countertime line from Beauty Counter? Thoughts? Alix: My friend sells Beauty Counter and she actually recently sent me some samples. I tried the Countertime line a few nights and it was nice, but I'm so set on my routine and products I've been using that have been working for me. I hate to switch it up when something is working- you know? She also sent me the vitamin c … [Read more...]
