BUILDING BLOCK: Almond Milk

Almond milk at the store is full of sugar, preservatives, and not much else. Why not make it yourself? You simply blend almonds, water, and some sweetener (honey, dates, etc), and voila you have yourself home-made, raw almond milk. You can of course choose to filter the milk through a fine sieve or nut bag, but I opt to have it unfiltered. 

I don't pre-soak the almonds, or add salt, but you probably should - click here for the "right-way" to make almond milk.

BEAUTY: Where have you been my whole life, eos?

I am one of those people who cannot maintain any type of a non-essential routine: dry cleaning pickups, car washes, and waxing are all under the category of non-essential for me, which means I hardly do them.  Skipping the latter is a problem because I resort to shaving, which is not fun if you're like me and have some Chewbacca-like tendencies.  Lucky for me, I bought a bottle of eos shaving cream today, and it literally altered my normally torturous shaving experience. If you don't like razor bumps, do like smooth skin, and need a shaving boost...buy a bottle today!
