siggi's

Who loves yogurt? Who loves skyr? Who loves siggi's?  ME! ME! ME! Skyr is a strained yogurt made from cow's milk that has been a staple in the Icelandic diet for more than 1,000 years.  Like milk, regular yogurt is mostly water- but with skyr, that water is strained away, creating a thick and creamy consistency.  While there are various styles of strained yogurt, skyr is particularly high in protein.

My first foray into skyr was siggi's.  It was love at first bite!  I am not a huge sugar person so the light sweetness and creamy texture was right up my alley.  siggi's was developed by Iceland native Siggi Hilmarsson who began making skyr in his own kitchen when he moved to New York City in 2004.  siggi's is now sold across the US and made by the same simple process and simple ingredients as in  Siggi's own kitchen.

Here are a few facts about siggi's you should know. One serving of siggi's skyr requires fourtimes more milk that regular yogurt.  What remains is a protein-rich yogurt with 13 to 15 grams per serving. siggi's products do not contain any artificial preservatives, thickeners, sweeteners, flavors or colors.  That means no aspartame, sucralose, gelatin, artificial colorings, preservatives or high fructose corn syrup. Unlike flavored varieties of most national strained yogurt brands, siggi's flavored varieties contain more protein than sugar per serving.

Tree Hut Mask

How do you pamper yourself? A few nights a week I create a spa in my bathroom, where I pamper myself with at-home spa treatments and fermented grape products. Masks, manicures, and mimosas, yes please! My main skin concerns as a lady in her thirties are fine lines and acne. I am up to try any product that promises to relieve one of the two.  As a member of Influenster , I recently received a VoxBox containing a complimentary charcoal mask from Tree Hut. Eager to try this new mask I turned my Sunday in to a Spa Day. Sundays also happen to be when I pamper my poodle pup, Zsa Zsa . Two for one, twice the fun. I began my at-home spa treatment by prepping my face with a spritz of tea tree oil toner.  Then, I applied Tree Hut's Exfoliating Mud Mask with Detoxifying Charcoal across my entire face avoiding my eye area and mouth. I was instantly surprised by the smell.  It had the subtle scent of flowers and minerals, an exact replica of Flintstones vitamins. It made m...
