Healthy Eating Tip: Wash Produce You're Going to Peel
You're probably already eating a good amount of fruits and vegetables but are you washing them all? I recently went to eat a banana and someone said, "Aren't you going to wash that first?" I thought, well no because I am going to peel it.
How to Deal With the Peel
Many of our favorite fruits and veggies have nutrient rich skins. Unfortunately, some conventional veggies are usually coated with wax.
The wax is used to increase the shelf life of the produce by preventing moisture loss, plus it protects them from bruising during the shipping process.

Product Review: Kinerase Pro+Therapy Advanced Radiance Facial Peel
Although I've been hearing about the Kinerase line for a few years, I've only recently tried one of its products. Available only in dermatologists' offices, Pro+Therapy Advanced Radiance Facial Peel ($85) is an at-home treatment meant to exfoliate dead skin and reveal more radiant skin. (I know that sounds like marketing speak, but after using the peel, I can't think of a better word than "radiant" to describe the results.)
The kit includes 15 lollipop-shaped applicators with sponges, each one pre-moistened with a blend of pharmaceutical-grade lactic acid, citric acid, and soothing ingredients such as algae extracts.
Healthy, Pretty Nails: Honeybee Gardens Peel Off Polish
I love having my nails painted, but every time I put a little paint on my nails, I can't help but think of all of the chemicals at the tips (literally) of my fingers.
Honeybee Gardens Peel Off Polish ($6) is a new non-toxic (meaning no toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate or FD&C colors) polish for your lovely digits. Want to do your nails with your husband, who has a serious aversion to the smell of nail polish, in the room?
Easy Peeling Clean Up
The worst part of peeling vegetables is the clean up. I used to peel them over the sink and then scoop everything up afterwards. It was a slimy sensation that I decided I could live without.
Product Review: Prescriptives Instant Gratification Skin Renewal Peel
Prescriptives has just come out with a new skincare product called Instant Gratification ($45). It's a self-heating mask with microbeads that whisk away dead skin, and it promises to combine the benefits of a facial, peel and microdermabrasion—with results equivalent to a 30% glycolic acid peel.
Although I wasn't an immediate fan of Instant Gratification, it's won me over for its simplicity and results.
Simple Tip: Easily Peel Peaches
If you're planning on cooking with peaches (like I did with the peach puzzle), you'll want to peel them first. Cooking causes the skin to become rough and the texture could be unappetizing in pies, etc. However peeling peaches seems like an messy task.
How to Peel Shrimp
When I was little, I had no idea shrimp weren't readily available in their edible state. Sure, I knew you had to cook them, but I didn't realize that the heads, shells, and intestines were normally removed before consumption. I learned later, as a 20-year-old, how to properly peel the delicious shellfish.
