Growing up, I never really liked beans so I had never had chili.  When I practically lived in Cincinnati because of work, I was introduced to their unique, bean-free style chili and fell in love with it (It was Gold Star all the way...sorry Skyline fans!).  I even found a recipe online and made my own - frequently.  Our friends would flock to our apartment to have some.I've been trying a lot of

I am very torn about this product. I guess you could say it's one of my guilty pleasures (which is really weird to say about a toothpaste). In case you didn't notice, I try REALLY hard to buy things that are not tested on animals. Procter & Gamble is a HUGE animal testing offender but I just can't give up on this toothpaste! I tried several others (Biotin, Tom's of Maine, etc.) but they

I had been using Nature's Gate Organics for about a month or so and, while I liked it, I started feeling like it was drying my hair out a bit. So, while in the grocery store, I looked to see what they had and found this shampoo & conditioner by Real Solutions. So far, I LOVE it! I've only been using it for a few weeks but have seen a real improvement in my hair already. I have a problem with

After discovering that my favorite facial scrub has parabens in it and no longer says "This product not tested on animals", I need to find a replacement.My first try is Burt's Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub. It doesn't scrub as well, but I was willing to look past that. The big issue that I have with this product is that after using it, my face feels so waxy! It doesn't feel clean at

I haven't purchased anything recently so haven't had anything new to add! Might find some stuff after my next food shopping trip.In the meantime, click here for a nice little article about palm oil from the Opinion section of the L.A. Times.

I didn't originally look at this when I was at the store because the regular Olivio contains Vitamin A (palmitate), as did every other margarine/butter I looked at. In a last stitch effort, I decided to pick it up and turn it around. Jackpot!I've used it a few times now. We used it on corn on the cob, I made grilled cheese and made omelets for dinner. It worked like a charm every time. I was

Orange Vanilla - All natural AntibacterialWhen I first bought this, I wasn't too sure of the scent. It smelled good but it was a tiny bit different. Now I love it! I also love the soap! The foam almost feels silky, it smells awesome and doesn't dry out my hands.Container Size: 9.5 fl ozWhere'd you get it?: TargetHow much did it cost?: $3.99Bonus!: Clean Well does not test on animals, is

I bought this a while ago to help with the dry skin on my face. I didn't like it because it seems really heavy and felt like it was pulling my skin when I was trying to put it on. It sat in a drawer for a long time.Last week, I decided to pull it out and give it a shot on my feet. WOW! It works AWESOME! :) After just a few uses, my feet look so much better! I'd highly recommend it for any

C Today or C you in the MorningThis face cream is great! I love the way it feels when I put it on! I've had bad dry skin on my face for ages and this really seems to be helping! I've also had a problem the last few months with break-outs. So far so good. I've only been using this for about 4 days (2x a day --- again --- why a separate cream for nighttime?) so we'll see what happens.Container

C Through the Dry SpellI LOVE this stuff! I've had a problem with dry skin for as long as I can remember. This body butter really seems to be helping! My skin is definitely getting smoother. I also noticed that it doesn't feel tacky and doesn't feel like I'm just layering lotion on. Soaks in very nicely and is not greasy at all.Container Size: 8.45 fl.oz.Where'd you get it?: Part of a gift

Eye can C Clearly Now I've only been using this eye cream for about 4 days now. Honestly? I'm not sure what the purpose of eye cream is and why I need to use that in addition to facial moisturizer. I will say that the skin around my eyes is soft and the cream does not burn my eyes.Container Size: 1.7 fl.oz.Where'd you get it?: Part of a gift set from Walgreen's. (Right now you can only buy Yes
