The healthiest veggies and spices also make gorgeous, all natural Easter egg dyes! In a small pot, simmer 2 quarts water, 1/4 cup white vinegar and the dye source together, for at least an hour. Drain liquid into jars, and cool to room temperature before using.

Experiment with different dye sources for your own unique color combinations! Some of my favorites include:

Deep blue: 1 head red cabbage, chopped
Purple: 2 1/2 cups blueberries
Orange: 4 tbs paprika, ground
Yellow: 4 tbs turmeric, ground
Pink: 1 beet, chopped

When finished, store the jars in the refrigerator - it will last about a month! Fun colored hard boiled eggs are a great snack … any time of the year!

People are seriously upset with Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl Margarita!

Following the news that Whole Foods removed the drink from their shelves because it contains a possibly carcinogenic preservative called sodium benzoate, a California woman has filed a class action lawsuit against the beverage!

Reneta Bonar is suing Skinnygirl's parent company, Beam Global, for making "deceptive statements" on the label, which claims the margarita is "all natural".

Sources say the woman is suing because she can to force Beam to "engage in a corrective advertising campaign" and, of course, pay unspecified damages.

She may have already gotten her wish though. According to the Skinnygirl website, the bottle will replace the "all natural" claim with "natural flavor" instead.

In any case, the company behind Skinnygirl is confident they will prevail in court and released a statement saying:

"In today's litigious society, nothing is surprising. The litigation filed in relation to the labeling of Skinnygirl Margarita is frivolous. We will defend our case vigorously, and we are fully confident we will prevail."

We don't see how this woman deserves any money beyond the $12.99 (if the judge is generous) she paid for the bottle because we're a little baffled by what exactly her "damages" were.

It should be inneresting to hear how this plays out in court!

We all want better skin, but some of us just don't want to spend a fortune on it!

And we definitely don't want nasty chemicals on our faces either.

But how do we know which natural recipe is best for our face? What if we use the wrong ingredient and break out?

Or worse! What if use too much honey and it sticks!?!

Thank goodness Jeannie Mai made this video for us.

She knows exactly what to do for each face type.

Watch it and learn what U should be doing!

The Paleo Diet is all about the basics — and by basics we mean the EXTREME basics. Caveman style.

Essentially, the diet is about eating natural, unprocessed foods, as well as nothing that comes from “agriculture,” which means no grains, rice, pastas, breads, etc. So really all you can eat is meat and veggies.

Sounds familiar? It should. It’s pretty much the Atkins diet minus the cheese.

We’re not crazy about this diet. The all-natural part is great, but whole grains are good for you.

Also, caveman all died really early! We live way longer than cavemen! Why would we eat like them again?

We knew there had to be more to what she said!

Gisele Bundchen is once again having to do damage control, this time for calling sunscreen 'poison'.

Her publicist Amber Clapp explains:

"Gisele would never say not to use sunscreen because she has had family members who have had skin cancer. She simply stated that her all-natural skin-care line does not have SPF because there is not an all natural SPF available. When using sunscreens, she selects ones that are free of parabens, oxybenzone, PABA and retinyl palmitate."

And there you have it.
