It seems like everyone and their sick dog is talking about this year's dreadful flu season. Even Ellen Degeneres won't hug you unless you've gotten your shot or confirmed you're germ free! It's dreadful, contagious as a mother trucker, and it makes working out almost next to impossible. That's a no-go in this Fit Bottomed Girl's book! That being said I have a tried and true tip to help protect yourself from picking up unpleasant germs. It's an easy, old-school one, but it works, y'all! For the curious: The Lemongrass Wasabi Hand Wash and the Aloe & Chamomile Hand Lotion guards against winter's wrath. With antimicrobial qualities, wasabi extract is a natural alternative to harsh antibacterial chemicals commonly found in hand sanitizers. It also contains conditioning sunflower oil, aloe vera leaf gel, jojoba seed oil and is free of sulfates, which can strip skin of natural oils. I love the way those darn soaps smell, but learning they do more than just smell good might cause me to up and marry the company...Pee-wee Herman style. Easy enough, right? —Tish
