I gained 15 pounds my first year of college. My skin was a wreck due to poor diet. Acne. Blotchy. Dull and dry. Ugh. So whoever coined the phrase "you are what you eat" nailed it on the head. Looking at myself in a mirror at the end of term, I didn't like the reflection. So I did a 180 degree turnabout with my dietary habits. And that's partly why having a garden is so vital to me. I love to eat vegetables steamed, roasted, and even raw. Scrumptious. When I decided that sugar and carbs weren't going to rule my life, vegetables started to taste delicious again. Now that I eat so little sugar and flour a cracker or a Cheerio tastes sweet. A piece of cake? So sickly sweet that it's unbearable for my reformed taste buds. But I've also learned as I approach....ahem...40 that it's equally important to take care of the outside of my skin and body. That's why I'm thrilled to have teamed up with Shelby and her product line Shelby Naturals for the ultimate skin changing experience. I hope you win her Daily Essential Set that includes a cleanser, toner, serum and micro fibre cleansing cloth valued at $100.
