Everything old is new again! According to a poll, women are growing nostalgic for several styles from the past, thanks to celeb trendsetters bringing them back into fashion. More than half of women surveyed are hoping for the return of flare jeans…probably because they’re more forgiving than the skinny style that’s been so popular the last few years. Check out the full list:
*80s-style hair scrunchies: 49%
*Bodysuits: 47%
*Overalls: 42%
*Crimped hair: 38%
*Ruffled shirts: 35%
*Tie dye: 29%
*Bandannas: 26%
*Zig-zag hair parts: 23%

Thanks to an article I read in First for Women! A recent study at Cornell Universtiy found that Oregano and Allspice killed 100% of the germs they came in contact with! Including oregano & allspice, these other spices also helped reduce or kill food pathogens they came in contact with including salmonella and Ecoli:
Thyme, cinnamon, tarragon, cumin, cloves, garlic, cayenne and oinion pwders, sage and corriander - destroying at least 80% of the bacteria within 15 minutes. The amount you need? 3/4 tsp of your fav spice on your meal!
Not only will you cool off with these treats - they pack a healthy and slimming PUNCH!
