Curry Eggplant Burger

A veggie burger is a pretty simple formula - it just needs vegetables, spices and a binder. Here the binder is psyllium, but ground flax seed or chia seeds will also work fine. Optionally, cooked grains, legumes, potatoes and/or nuts can be added. There’s plenty of room to play!

Its nutrient density has been accredited to its extreme surroundings, the tops of the Peruvian Andes, where few other plants can survive.

Exfoliating Sugar Scrub

Exfoliating – removing dead skin cells and making room for new ones – is said to be one of the most important things you can do for fresh, healthy skin. The gentle and slightly abrasive quality of the sugar (or salt) is a time-honored method. Sugar also produces glycolic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin.
