The Land of Dragor: Book 1: The Gift of Charms

Posted on Oct 28, 2014

Author Julia Suzuki writes a fantastic tale of a special dragon living among seven clans of dragons hidden from humans. I am honored to have been given a preview copy in return for an honest review. Even though this book is targeted at the 8yr/old+ market, I found myself completely engrossed from the first page. The tale opens up to a very worried set of parents who have an egg that is multi-colored – not at all like the others. The...

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...

Finding out you are pregnant is one of the most exciting things in the world. Getting to buy new products for the upcoming changes to your body makes it that much more thrilling!

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...

Ren Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream Review

Posted on Oct 14, 2014

I have fairly dry skin so I use a lot of moisturizer. I am always looking for a good Day Cream. I have to say I am slightly disappointed in the Ren Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream. I could not get past the odor of this Ren Day Cream. It just did not agree with me at all. I also found it to go on very heavy. It did sink in and then I felt fine, but for about 30 minutes I felt very greasy from the Ren Day Cream. Ren Global...

Best Breakfast in London

Posted on Oct 12, 2014

Upon the advice of a dear friend who once lived in London, I tried Kensington Square Kitchen for breakfast. I was told it was the best breakfast in London! My friend was right! The restaurant is painted a very pleasing shade of green so I instantly felt relaxed upon entering. We were quickly seated and our orders taken by a very pleasant person. Who then brought our teas and some orange juice. Seriously, some of the best fresh orange...
