Solving Eczema: Holiday Edition
If there is one thing I try to hide from people, it’s the fact that I have dry, itchy skin that often turns into hives and a red rash as a result from scratching. It’s not cute. I have trouble sleeping and wake up scratching. I avoid hugging as certain detergents, perfumes and fabrics can …

Fall Feasts… Yes, I’m Talking About Posole.
