Meet the new darling of mature skincare!

On October 29, 2018 / Featured Herb, Herbal Medicine and Health / Leave a comment

On April 30, 2018 / Educational, Herbal Medicine and Health / Leave a comment

This part of the blog is from www.mercola.com…see below for my sugar alternative! Do you want to be healthy? Drinking soda is bad for your health in oh so many ways; even science can’t state all the consequences. Here is what happens inside of your body when you assault it with coke! 10 minutes 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system.
