Want to capture romance? Want to rekindle the art of lost love? Perhaps you're looking to connect with your significant other like you haven't before, let he or she know how you really feel. Let's face it cards can only say so much and they really are not personalized enough.

A Dying Art

Well, the title heading says it all, all letter writing period has become a dying art. In the world of texting, e-mails and e-cards and our insatiable desire to have things immediately sent, received and responded to take precedence over everything.

It has been proven for 100's of years that couples wrote letters to communicate and enhance the lives of each other. When one writes another it lifts their spirits, it shows someone how special they are, and writing someone can actually confirm a relationship. It is also an elegant form of class, that has its romantic benefits.

Health Benefits

Can one gain health benefits from writing love letters? According to top science, medicine, and mindfulness communities, there are a lot of benefits to writing to a loved one; especially love letters.
When one writes a letter the brain gets "turned on"! The brain responds to kindness by lowering the stress hormones, and cholesterol levels and this also stimulates the emotion, attention, motivation and memory parts of the brain. This, in turn, ignites the protective type of effects throughout the body.

So overall, love and pleasure stimulate health.


Here's something that was shared with us recently...

It was known that they both fully wrote their hearts to each other all through their dating and their marriage, and now to us, it is known to be a beautiful legacy that the family and their children will have as well as the United States and the rest of the world as well.

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies.

Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room.
