Can RFK Jr Make America Healthy Again?

Image
     Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been chosen by President Trump to oversee the Department of Health and Human Services. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. or RFK Jr. as he’s affectionately nicknamed, hails from the very promininent and politically involved Kennedy family. He has a great legacy to uphold as the Kennedy family has so strongly and positively impacted the historical and political landscape of the United States. That family has experienced so much tragedy amongst its members but they’ve managed to overcome. The matriarch and patriarch of the Kennedy family, Joseph and Rose must be smiling down with joy about the impact that their entire lineage has made on society. RFK Jr. is an environmentalist that has been a leading figure in the mission to protect the planet and could be considered a Godfather of environmentalism due to all of his environmentally focused work and generous efforts to create change within the field. He founded the Pace University Environmental Li...

SUNCOAT COSMETICS NON TOXIC NAIL ART POLISH REVIEW

Image
It was pretty exciting to find a nail art set that was all natural.  If you are familiar with natural nail polishes, you know that it's rare to come across an all natural nail art set. It was wonderful to know that there was a natural alternative for women who enjoy doing creative designs. Suncoat Cosmetics is a Canadian company that sells all natural makeup.  Suncoat cosmetics makes three different nail art sets which come in a variety of colors.  The set that is being reviewed here is called "Earth."  The earth set consists of a white, orange, pink and mint green.  They are mineral based nail polishes and the size of the bottles are 0.26 oz each.  This nail art set did NOT deliver.  When applying the brush to nails, you'll find that the colors are extremely sheer.  The white hardly shows and it is more of a pearly, sheer, ivory color.  When trying to create french tips, the white polish in this packag...

Boots Botanics Body Butter 10.14 fl oz REVIEW

Image
Boots No. 7 is the # 1 drugstore brand in Great Britain. Boots No. 7 is a brand that carries cosmetics, skin care and beauty products. Boots Botanics introduced the Botanics line which boasts a variety of anti-aging products, skin and body care products that are plant based.  Our first purchase from the Boots Botanics line was the organic body butter. It is made with plant extracts, essential oils, and nourishing butters like shea and cocoa seed butter. After trying this product for about a month, it would only be right to do a short and conclusive review on this product.  This body butter is 85% organic.  This means that 85% of the ingredients have been certified organic by the proper certification body in the UK.  This is not to be confused with the Boots No. 7 body butter. That particular product does not contain certified organic ingredients. The Boots Botanics organic body butter is thick and creamy in consistenc...

Crumbs Gluten Free Bake Shop NYC Review

Image
There's a new gluten free bakery in town! CRUMBS opened up their first dedicated gluten free bakery in October 2013.  This bakery is one of 4 dedicated gluten free bakeries in all of NYC.  It is right smack in the middle of Greenwich village and a short walk from NYU.  When you arrive at 37 E. 8th Ave, you'll be greeted by squeaky-clean glass windows and a huge blue, block-lettered sign that says, "Crumbs Gluten Free."  You really cannot miss it.  Crumbs decided to open this gluten free bakery to cater to customers that eat gluten-free!  Obviously, they realized the importance of having a dedicated facility where there will be absolutely no chances of customers getting sick due to cross-contamination.  I decided to pay a visit to CRUMBS Gluten Free on a really cold January day.  Boy, was I in for some seriously tasty treats.  After walking in, I was greeted by a very nice, helpful worker who explained...
