Our nineteen-year-old has put X Out, (from the makers of Proactiv) to the test, over the last few weeks. As I mentioned in my original post, she has struggled with severe acne associated with a chronic illness, for several years. She was excited to put X Out to the test and try to alleviate one [...]
I have really enjoyed the pampering of the Meaningful Beauty five-step program that I have been testing for the last few weeks. My skin is clean and feels so much softer. Plus, there is something to be said for just taking that five minutes each morning and evening, to relax and do one small thing [...]

I have that “after 40″ [...]
Imagine being a thirteen year-old-girl, and in a span of literally only a few months, you gain more than sixty pounds, even though your eating habits and activity level have had no changes. You develop severe and uncontrollable acne over your entire body and wide, purple stretch marks across all your skin. Your body perspires [...]
I recently made each of our granddaughters adorable new “Twirly” Skirts with my new Brother CS6000i sewing machine and I wanted to do something for their hair that would match. I love all the flower hair clippies you see, around; so I decided to try and do something like that. I used fabric scraps left [...]
