Pon(d) de replay (&Skinny Girl Cheesecake!)

I have two gems for you today.  Neither are that exciting, but two of my favorite things at the moment.

1.) Pond's cold cream.  Why am I so excited about something my grandmother probably used 40 years ago?  Because it rocks my socks off!  Since stopping BC, it has been a challenge all around. Hair, skin, and nails have all been different.  (thank you hormones, thank you very much.)  The best thing for my skin so far has been cetaphil, but I still felt like I was too dry.  I have been using Pond's for about a week now and seriously notice a difference already.  No joke.  If you can get past the weird greasy feel and the fact that it smells like an 85 year old woman, you will fall in love.  I usually smooth it on and then wash off with warm wash cloth. Follow up with a tiny bit of moisturizer.  That's it!  Who knew our grandmothers had the secret this whole time?  And for less than ten bucks?  I'll take that!

2.) Skinny girl cheesecake -- the tile says it all.  Its cheesecake and its low-cal.  Need I say more?  TRY IT!!!  It's amazing!!! (And simple...and we all know how I feel about that!)

1 cup Chobani
2 Tablespoons of Sugar Free, Fat Free Jello Cheesecake mix
1/4 cup Almond milk
Mix all ingredients well in a blender or food processor, or even whisk. This makes 2 servings. 100 calories each and 12 grams of protein!!

The only tweak I made was that I used vanilla Greek Yogurt instead of plain. Probably a little more calories, but that's what I had on hand.  It was fantastic.  My taste tester loved it, too!  He asked for more!

This is definitely a great way to curb a sweet craving without the guilt, and you get extra points for all the protein in the yogurt!!  Double yay!
