All about NEEM, an ayurvedic herb that cured my athlete’s foot, I’m so excited! Plus other things Neem helps, like hair, skin and nails, and reducing inflammation and infections. Body lotion can be nice as long as it has natural ingredients. There’s this new test, Viome, where you send in a stool sample and it […]

I managed to catch a cold while in Florida. The good thing is that I was in Florida, didn’t have to work, got to lie about and relax, lie in the sun, and eat fresh-picked citrus! So I was only sick for about 3-4 days. It goes to show you, when you really take care […]

We talked about who […]
