Being gorgeous on the go…

is easier than ever, thanks to these new individual packets of Collagen Peptides from Vital Proteins. The simple habit of taking Collagen Peptides every day has improved my skin dramatically.  It is firmer now, at age 50, than it was ten years ago. It’s also great for your nails, hair and connective tissue.   And now […]

She had me at Duran Duran.

I’m talking about Mel Joulwan, the creator of the new cookbook Well Fed Weeknights.
