Obviously you know your sugar is flourishing in a chocolate cake or Mocha Frap Latte
but would you expect it in condiments and soup crackers?
Here is a list of five places you wouldn’t picture having a plethora of sugar:

•    Sauces – tomato, pesto, etc.
•    Soups – canned and packaged varieties, including chicken broth
•    Salad Dressings – especially in low-fat varieties
•    Cold Cereal – Very few brands don’t contain sugar (Kashi 7 Whole Grain Nuggets is a good option)
•    Bread Products – sugar is often found in bread, bagels, wraps, and pitas

Chocolate = Beautiful Skin #what?

This year don’t regret those Valentine’s Day chocolates, your skin needs ’em. Ruth Swissa is gonna let you in on a little beauty secret: beauty doesn’t mean a life sentence of leafy greens. Indulge in some sultry dark chocolate chunks and reap the benefits.

DARK CHOCOLATE

Chocolate Reduces Blood Pressure
Dark Chocolate relaxes blood vessels. This in turn will reduce blood pressure. Chocolate is perhaps the natural-born chiller; a ‘feel-good inc’ opiate.

Wrinkle Reducer
Chocolate is an organic stress reliever –  it reduces the formation of stress hormones. Consequently, this will promote less collagen breakdown in your skin and ultimately leave you with fewer wrinkles in the long run.

Flavonols
Chocolate contains Flavonols, antioxidants that help your skin combat UV damage, fight free radicals, and increase  blood flow. So in other words, fewer wrinkles, fewer sunspots, and an irresistible dewy glow.

~*Keep Label in Mind*~
Even though the chocolate seal may read “70% Dark Chocolate”, if the first ingredient reads “Milk” or “Sugar”, you know your bar does not contain 70% or more cocoa content. Also, to achieve these beauty benefits, make sure you’re indulging in a chocolate bar that contains 70% or more cocoa content. No glacé milk/white chocolate allowed. Portions do come into play as well; make sure you’re not eating more than one ounce of this gushy-good stuff.

Rejuvinate Your Distressed, Winter Skin with the New VI Peel

After a cruel, stiff winter, your skin is begging for some relief and reawakening. Ruth Swissa is now offering the VI Peel to relieve your damaged winter skin. The VI Peel utilizes the power of several ingredients to perform drastic skin corrections. These ingredients treat all different skin types, which means the VI Peel is virtually ideal for anyone who’s seeking skin remedy. The peel provides superior results for all skin types (Fitzpatrick 1-6). Another advantage to this peel is that you don’t need to do any pesky skin preparations, you can just come in and get a VI Peel on the go. Swissa’s VI Peel also requires minimal to almost no downtime, so it wont disrupt your daily life. 
The VI Peel doesn’t only improve the appearance of skin, but it physically improves the tone, texture,and clarity of the skin. It does this by reducing any visible signs of aging (which may be dark pigmentation caused by too much sun exposure, etc). The VI Peel Swissa offers at her medspa has the ability to reduce age spots, hyper-pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. Not only does it correct those faults, but it also has the power to stimulate the production of collagen, leaving you with a youthful and glowing complexion. Additionally, the VI Peel is safe to use along with lasers, injectables, and post procedure. 

By doing a series of about two to four peels per year, with the addition of home care and correct aftercare, this peel has the power to reverse sun damage we have accumulated over time. It can basically erase all the sun burns and sizzling afternoon sunbathing we have indulged in back in the day. Many people see radical results after just one VI Peel. This peel is also the only peel that can treat the area around your eyes (upper and lower eye). Ruth Swissa’s VI Peel can also be performed anywhere on the body, i.e. chest, hands, arms and back. 
 
Enjoy radiant, younger, smoother looking skin in a little over a week with the VI Peel.
