One thing I love is granola it goes great on or in just about anything like smoothies, mixed with fruit, in ice cream or on my new favorite trend which is overnight oats in a jar!  When I came across True North Granola on the web and heard about their granola I just had to try them! Their granola is special because it's handmade and baked to perfection with all natural ingredients ! Ingrid and Franklin Chrisco began True North Granola company from their home in 2006 due to trying out granola in stores and they were well, dissatisfied with the options and taste that the granola offered.  In Brattleboro Vermont they believed that their homemade granola was more nutritious than other brands that were on the shelves in the market.

At first before you rub the body lotion on it has a bit of an overpowering perfume scent to it but I love the texture of this lotion because it wasn't too runny or too thick. After you have lathered yourself with fresh fig lotion it leaves a light scent afterwards that isn't too overpowering.   In 2003 Nourish Organic was born and  What I also loved about the lotion is that it's not greasy, it didn't irritate my skin at all and it made my skin f

I couldn't believe that I never thought about the types of chemicals that was in the skincare products I would use for my skin back then such as face scrubs, moisturizers or even mud masks! It got me
