I did a quick search & found no topics on this, so I was wondering... Does anybody do household cleaning with non-chemical things?

HG Crunchy Candy Cane Snack-wiches
These are from Hungry Girl & are delish! Mine were a little more cals (109) because I used Lite Cool Whip, and a whole, full sized cane. It needed more peppermint flavor for me, but you could add peppermint extract to save cals. Hope you enjoy them, they are really good, and I actually got 17 instead of 16! Crunchy Candy…

What's Your "Thang"?
Everybody has a "thang"! Maybe it's something your known for, maybe it's some ritual you do every day. My thang is I have to smell good!
