Lo and behold, I came across a French butter keeper, which maintains perfect room temperature butter 24/7, 365 days a year. In addition to baking cookies, having a ready supply of room temperature butter is great for spreading on toast, smearing on steak for that professional glossy finish, or for those impromptu dinner parties you resolved to host this year....

While this post is sponsored by Mattel, all opinions are my own. It all started a year ago.

(More advanced yogis or those with tight schedules might be better off paying for classes that fit their needs....

I recently finished the Whole 30 program with my family. If you know nothing about Whole 30, this book has a ton of great info and this website has even more!

It’s not necessarily known to be the biggest weight loss diet but more about retraining your body and feeling better....
