The true spirit of Christmas is something I would so much rather pass on and share with my family than material items. This year, to make sure I don't get sucked back into all of the commercialism of Christmas, I decided to take after my friend Corrine from Wonder Mom Keep Reading

All Natural Winter Bliss Body Scrub
It's official! I have put together for you one of THE BEST body scrubs for the cold winter season. This Winter Bliss Body Scrub will leave your skin feeling soft and glowing all over. Whether you’re dealing with greasy, ashy, or scaly “lizard” skin, this scrub is for you! As the cooler weather rolls in, we’re more prone to dry, rough skin.

They slough away dead skin cells and nourish the new skin beneath. Exfoliation is an important step to bringing our winter body back to its original softness. This Keep Reading
