Best Travel Jewelry

Posted on Oct 31, 2014

I come from a long line of jewelry lovers! Traveling without jewelry is not an option, much to my hubby’s dismay! Depending upon the trip, I try not to bring the expensive jewelry for travel. But if you do bring the bling be sure to keep it in a reputable hotel’s safe. Dinners on family trips are a great time to try out various pieces of jewelry with different looks. It is fun to open up your jewelry box and pack things you have not...

Malibu Honey

Posted on Oct 28, 2014

While I do not claim to be an expert in the area of honey, I have done a bit of research on the topic. I have written about Manuka Honey from New Zealand, which I love. In addition, raw, local honey has many benefits. On a recent trip to Vintage Grocers in Malibu I discovered Malibu Honey and had to buy some to try. I was amazed at how good Malibu Honey is. The Benefits of Local, Raw Malibu Honey It is a little known fact that the...

Define Your Personal Mission

Posted on Oct 26, 2014

Last week I talked about Values, and how outlining them in writing is the first step to really and truly getting to know yourself. I hope you have had some time this week to not only think about them, but to write them down. Because now it is time to talk about the next step – defining your mission in life, your purpose! Why do I need a personal mission statement? A mission statement provides clarity while giving you a sense of...

The Magic of Mushrooms

Posted on Oct 20, 2014

Mushrooms are generally a neutral white color with no smell so I often discount them as having no nutritional value. Wow, is that wrong! Mushrooms are packed with power and I never knew it! What are mushrooms? Mushrooms are the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. Nope, they are not a vegetable, they are actually a fungi that contain some of the most potent...

My Values

Posted on Oct 19, 2014

At the park last week, while the kids were playing, one of my lovely friends brought up and questioned a list of values that had been suggested to her as healthy. While I think that values are super important to have, I do not think one list works for everyone. Values are incredibly personal and will help to define YOU. So how can someone else’s list work for you? Why do I need values? Listing out your values is a great way to find...

Vitamin D

Posted on Oct 18, 2014

I grew up in the sunscreen era! Commercial after commercial warned us to stay out of the sun and always wear sunscreen. So I was confused as to why it was bad for me to be vitamin D deficient, just as 85% of the population in the USA is deficient in vitamin D today. Perhaps the commercials were wrong… What is Vitamin D? #Vitamin D has been overlooked for so long, yet is #vital to our #wellness. http://t.co/RtshxalqMd #loveyourself...
