What Can I Do With Empty Gerber Puffs Containers? Easy Ghost Craft.

What Can I Do With Empty Puffs Containers? Easy Ghost Craft.

Gerber Puffs seem to have the youngster snack market in a chokehold. My toddler has loved them for years. My teenage niece still loves them! That's a lot of empty puffs containers.

I love crafts, but lack patience and like to use items I have on hand. This easy craft using empty Gerber puffs containers was simple to do. While I used my ghosts as decor, there are lots of other things you can do with them.

Suffering from dry skin?! 5 things to stop doing to relieve dry skin.

Suffering from dry skin?! 5 things to stop doing to relieve dry skin. Let's talk dry skin. Your skin is your largest organ, your body's interface with and protection from the environment. Keep it moisturized and intact! I trained in a dermatology office as a physician assistant student. Dry skin was a common complaint.

Relieve dry skin by stopping these 5 things, and you may save yourself a trip to the doctor's office! 1. Bathing Frequently Water exposure can be drying and irritating.

Don't diet: follow this healthy eating plan instead

Don't diet: follow this healthy eating plan instead. Let's talk healthy eating. I don't diet nor do I typically recommend any specific diets. This is true in my personal life as well as my professional career as a physician assistant. Diets often backfire and fail; they can be too restrictive in terms of limiting calories, certain foods or entire food groups. Diets can lead to disordered eating and malnutrition. Instead, I follow and recommend guidelines to promote a healthy eating plan. I compiled a list of the most common recommendations in over a decade of working in mostly primary care fields.

Developing healthy eating habits should be part of a holistic plan for longevity and wellness regardless of your current or goal weight. Practical guidelines can help you create lasting lifestyle changes. Let's dig i...
