Better skin, using items in your pantry.

November 21, 2012 4 Comments

Recently, I have been getting comments from people who have expressed surprise when they learned my age (45) or met Devin, my oldest son (20), saying that they thought I was much younger.   (Really!? Tell me more!)  While lifestyle and genetics certainly play a role, I want to share a couple of my “beauty tips” […]

Get the benefits of cinnamon by brewing it in your coffee.

July 14, 2011 18 Comments

Cinnamon. Makes me think of yummy baked goods and spicy good smells… It’s good stuff, that cinnamon. In addition to its over-all yumminess, recent studies have been showing that cinnamon can provide added health benefits. It has fiber and calcium, which helps to improve colon health and to fight heart disease.  It also has been […]

I take my coffee in the shower.

March 22, 2011 33 Comments

Although you wouldn’t know it by the weather, tank top weather is coming. Egads! That means bathing suit weather isn’t far behind. Now while I long for the days when my biggest complaint was only about my fat butt, now everything is squishy. That’s gonna take some work. However! My winter skin gets a good […]
