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. 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.

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. According to this Forbes article , over 40% of Americans are obese. Obesity is a risk factor for many medical conditions, so losing weight is a worthy pursuit. 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...
