I am not the type to put on makeup just to check the mail, however, I do enjoy my fair share of girly-girliness on occasion. I don't spend a fortune on any single product unless I'm totally and utterly in love with it. Usually, I seek out simple and natural products and steer clear of anything with a paragraph of unpronounceable ingredients. I am always on the hunt for simple and effective things, so I wanted to share this one with you!

I have been using Dr. Bronner's bar soap and liquid castile soap for a long time and I think they are fantastic. They clean well (for more than just skin!), are made of non-toxic ingredients, and are very affordable. Recently I discovered a new Dr. Bronner's product that I'm now totally in love with- the shaving gel. Seriously people, my legs have never been this smooth! This product can be used by men or women.

A while back I wrote about a raw chili that I had enjoyed for dinner. Since I loved the "nut meat" portion of the meal so much, I created a raw "pasta" meal using similar ingredients. Instead of noodles, I used a potato peeler to cut raw zucchini into ribbons. I topped the zucchini with a raw tomato sauce and some "nut meat".
