Pampering the face is indispensable. We love it when we can visit the nearest cosmetic salon and sit back and relax while our favorite cosmetician treats our skin, but how many of us forget to pamper ourselves when we are at home with one of the best products that money can buy?

20 Unique, Affordable Wall Art Ideas

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 17:46:05 +0000

Surrounding yourself with beautiful art is just so....savvy. Art inspires you, makes you feel good, and best of all, you don't have to spend a fortune at a fancy auction to snazz up your space. Book stores, thrift stores, garage sales, museum shops, fabric shops, and even wallpaper shops are just a few places you can pick up budget-friendly materials to make inspired creations to adorn your home. We've used art book clips in our bathroom, decorative wrapping/scrapbooking papers in our bedroom, cut-up calendars in our hallways, and notecard sets in our office to make swoon-worthy art collections for a song, because the beauty is, items don't even have to be new, expensive, or fancy to be beautiful.

Blenders: Not All Created Equal

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:17:38 +0000

You know when you want something specific? Like… I want to make a certain soup or let’s say… a vegan ice cream… or delicious green smoothie? And you just can’t get it out of your mind. You excitedly grab all the ingredients and begin to prepare it… mouth salivating… You throw it in the appliance that will whip it up to perfection and… it ends up being MUSH. It’s called a SMOOTHIE, not a CHUNKIE. (Eww. That word in itself is… eck.)

My Magnetic Contraption

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 18:23:30 +0000

I use a lot of what you might call alternative treatments for many of my family's simple ailments—such as elderberry syrup for a cold or flu bug. I also carefully monitor what's in our food/water and take lots of nutritional supplements. One alternative treatment that i don't talk about very much (because people would think I'm nuts!) is my magnetic copper device. It was first invented in the 1920s by L.E. Eeman and is called the Eeman's Relaxation Circuit.

Eeman's theory is based on the discovery that human bodies are bi-polar along three axis—head to feet, right to left-side, and back to front. When polar opposites are connected, either within one body or between two or more bodies, the effects noted are greater relaxation, recovery from fatigue and disease, greater capacity for work, and better overall health.
