Best Travel Jewelry
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
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.

The Benefits of Local, Raw Malibu Honey It is a little known fact that the...

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
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
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.
