What’s a brand you can’t live without and why?

I love it because it’s not stinky, is the perfect consistency and they keep their product line extremely simple. I just wish they made a face cream.

What new skill or capability have you developed recently?
I’ve been helping to care for an aging parent with dietary restrictions.

PSA: Check out the sodium content on nutrition labels and menus – it’s mind-blowing how much salt is in food, even what is considered to be “healthy” options.

What’s your go-to karaoke song?
Anything that won’t make your ears bleed.
