Thought I would share a soap I have been using for a couple weeks that has been helping me a bit. It's called Yardley Of London Oatmeal and Almond.

I found it at Walmart and it's less than a dollar a bar!!

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
