Blueberry Maca Smoothie
Blueberries are full of antioxidants that safeguard your body naturally from damaging free radicals. Not as well-known as blueberries but just as much of a nutritional powerhouse, maca root is full of vitamins, minerals, antioxdiants, and phytonutrients that can assist the body in so many different ways. 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.
