For some reason, chicken has become regarded as the quintessential healthy protein, and while we love us some good chicken, we also think variety is the spice of life.

Refresh Your Makeup Bag & Makeup Looks For Spring
The moment the weather starts getting warmer, we start changing the colors we wear. Whether it’s our wardrobe, our makeup, or our accessories, we just can’t wait to have an excuse to try out different tones that suit the season! While you are swapping out makeup products (and maybe even treating yourself to a new lipstick or eyeshadow palette) try to make sure to refresh your whole makeup bag first.
