Born and raised in the Valley of the Sun, I’m no stranger to slapping on loads of aloe vera gel to cool off an unfortunate sunburn or bad tan line. I’ve probably peeled more times than an iguana! After countless overexposed encounters and a few sun-kissed spots later, I’ve learned my lesson. I now realize [...]

What Are You Eating? Ask LABELWATCH
09/06/2008 by
Ever wondered exactly what’s in that “health” drink you’re sipping on? I certainly have. I recently ended my long love affair with a certain vitamin-fortified water when I realized that I was drinking rather than eating most of my daily calories. But it’s not just the calories that are scary. The ingredients are another story. [...]
