Tilapia Is Tops :

Unlike most farm-raised fish, which must eat other fish to grow, tilapia is an omnivore that can thrive on soy, corn, wheat, algae and plant waste. Plus, tilapia farms can be housed indoors where resulting wastewater and pollution are better controlled. Thirty thousand pounds of tilapia can be raised on just three acres annually — the same amount of space it takes to raise one 650-pound cow. — Slowfoodnation.org

Banish that Blemish—The Healthy Way

You made it through puberty and thought you were in the clear—the clear skin zone that is. But here you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s, still reckoning with the occasional (or not-so-occasional) breakout. If it makes you feel any better, you're not alone—approximately 50 percent of adult women have acne problems (that probably didn't make you feel better at all). Hormones, stress, and even old makeup (check those expiration dates!) can cause a pimple to emerge. And as we all know, those eruptions happen at what’s supposed to be the best of times, like, say, your wedding day. Next time you notice redness and inflammation starting to appear, treat it with a dab of Face Boutique Spot-less, a gentle gel that contains witch hazel and salicylic acid to reduce redness and get the swelling down so that annoying little red spot doesn't put a blemish on your big day—whatever it happens to be.
