An Instant Pot is a pressure cooker that has multiple functions (pressure cook, sauté, and slow cook like a crockpot) that cooks under high pressure and only takes 20-70 minutes for most meals.

HOW TO: Love on your hands
As I get older, I am always on the hunt for more ways to love on my skin. With the many things that we use our hands for, it’s important not to neglect them from wear, tear and aging. With as many things as we use our hands for, hand care should be a more talked about subject, don’t you think? I am sure you’ve used lotion and hand sanitizer in the past but have you ever thought about the type of love you should show to your hands routinely? With these questions in mind, it’s time that I share a little secret with you. My nontoxic hand care routine…

Have you ever wondered what the lubricating strip is on the razors you use? I remember when I was younger, I would always pull them off the razor after they got soggy in the shower because I thought it was gross 😂 I had no idea what really goes down in the chemical makeup of razors but now that I do, it’s something I feel strongly about sharing.
