What is your favorite cumin grinder?
This is actually a deluxe pepper grinder I got at a department store. It has a variable setting for levels between coarse and fine. I have another of the same grinder for actual pepper and it works great. For cumin I would say it is acceptable. I don’t know with the properties of whole cumin…

Wow. Chia. Oh. My. Gosh!
I can’t believe this you guys. I seriously am blown away. I didn’t know about the magic of chia seeds until, like, two days ago. I had heard about them but never really understood. Now I do! Wow! I started investigating, and saw a video about making Agua de chía. It stands to reason, the…

What’s your favorite concealer?
Concealers are one thing I seem to always be testing out. There are so many available, and there’s a lot of variety in terms of things like viscosity, coverage, ability to correct, etc. After having tried so many including pretty much all of the leading ones, there’s one concealer which to me stands out the…

What’s your favorite chewable multi-vitamin? Here’s mine.
