basil for everything!
Basil for Everything! When you hear the word basil, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Well, I think of a caprese salad of mozzarella, tomatoes and basil leaves or a simple bowl of angel hair pasta with a pesto sauce. But would this herb be effective in the world of skincare, too? [...]

olive oil: good for the body inside and out
Olive Oil. Who knew how versatile this simple ingredient is? It is something good for our bodies, both inside and out. As part of our diet, I don’t think there is anything better than olive oil.

the spa pantry you already have
