After a brutal winter that left my skin totally ruined, cracked and dried, it’s finally spring! You know how I know? Because my eyes itch and I can’t stop sneezing. Yep, spring. It’s here. Along with spring allergies! While I didn’t really have...

I like all types of food and will try just about anything. Though I have to admit sushi was one of those foods I was hesitant to try because I wasn’t quite sold on the whole raw fish part. I’m happy I tried it, because now I love sushi. I’ve thought about...
