Your exercise, health, and beauty routines should change in the winter, just as the weather changes and you change the clothes you wear. By the time the first leaf falls, it seems like you have the “winter itch.” With indoor heating and cold dry weather outside there is less humidity in the air and you must take better care of your body to look and feel comfortable.

So we all know the traditional Thanksgiving dinner usually consists of a large roasted turkey, some cornbread dressing and of course, the cranberry sauce. Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without it.
Well, what if you’re not hosting 10-12 people for the holiday, but having a smaller gathering in your Grand Rapids apartment for 3-4 people? You don’t have to serve a whole turkey.

If you want to buck the tradition, think outside the box when it comes to making your meal and try other turkey dishes and appetizers this year!
