Dip into the dark

Gummy bears. Licorice. Tootsie Rolls: A sweet tooth's dream, indeed. But an acne sufferer's worst nightmare, too, we admit. So rather than indulge in the high-sugar, chewy, gummy candy that lines convenience store shelves, choose dark chocolate, which boasts antioxidants. The relationship between antioxidants and your skin? Simply put, antioxidants work to shield your skin from free radical damage, which jeopardizes the integrity (and health) of your complexion. Find dark-chocolate coated raisins almost anywhere -- peanuts too. Or, you can even make a fondue and dip other goodies into it, like sliced fruit or whole grain pretzels.

I think everything is do-able except the oysters. It's a texture thing for me...I can't bring myself to even try them! And I love spicy food.. :( so sad.
