Some of our friends are having a Halloween party this weekend, so I've been keeping an eye out for Halloween-themed party foods for the past several days. I think I've decided on the following two: BLACK BEAN GUACAMOLE (with blue corn tortilla chips) AND CANDY CORN FUDGE! Assuming I don't eat all the fudge while I'm making it, I think these guys will both make pretty delicious party treats. How about you? Are there any especially scary recipes you can't wait to...
I just rediscovered The Daily Green, and their living green section has so many useful tips and homemade health and beauty recipes to offer. It's a treasure trove! One of my first discoveries on The Daily Green was a list of 5 Homemade Skin Care Recipes from The Green Beauty Guide (which is a book that I clearly need to own).

There are some real winners here and there. I love a list that includes animal...

Informative books like Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (which is totally on my Christmas list, BTW.) 9. Mexican Coke- It may not be healthy, but it's High Fructose Corn Syrup-free! 10. Ridiculous dessert recipes like this one for Praline Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake. Happy Thanksgiving, guys! ...
1) Eco Stiletto- Eco Stiletto is a wonderful online magazine that I recently discovered. They have tons of articles about natural and green health and beauty, and you become eligible to win a prize every week just for subscribing to their free newsletter! 2) Traditional Medicinals Gypsy Cold Care Tea- I've had a wicked cold for the past few days, and this tea has been making me hate life a little less.
