BEAUTY IS A LIFESTYLE THING

Bees, a species in danger Photo Credit: Earthday.org I find subject matter that I hope will make a difference in someone's life or lifestyle. I also love to post things that are for the "greater good" of the world or people. Today I choose to highlight the Earthday.Org website.   https://www.earthday.org/ I learned so much from this website and I thought that this was something I had to pass on. You can become a "Global Citizen". You can become involved by learning, passing on the knowledge, or by taking individual action to make changes yourself. You can join the world's largest environmental movement. This organization works year-round to solve climate change, end plastic pollution, and to protect the world's endangered species.  The website is user-friendly and will help to educate while broadening your knowledge, and this goes across the globe!                 **THE WEBSITE IS CONVERTIBLE TO 10 DIFFERENT LA...

Thrift store skirt purchase I'd love to be on the cusp of fashion-forward all the time, but frankly, I'm not so sure one could afford to be all the time.  I also think that trends change so quickly, it is sometimes near impossible to keep up with them, and finally, I don't need to tell you how much clothing and shoes cost. Of late I have been perusing the aisles at the GoodWill store in my area. Shop Till You Drop I often times will come away with a full bag of clothing, and there are times when I will come away with nothing at all. My own clothing journey has been interesting, I have lost quite a bit of weight and literally had only a few items that fit! When you go shopping in thrift or resale and consignment shops, you might even find items with the manufactures tag still attached! Most likely this item was bought and never worn, and like many of our own closets, we have this item hanging in there too! (Could be time to purge out your closet?) This year a lot...

One of the hardest things to do for any lifestyle change is to stay with it. So whether it's a dietary change or exercise regime, in order to get the results that you set out to attain, you cannot just give up. Dietary Changes Everyone has different motivational factors as to why they adopt any lifestyle change. Some individuals just want to lose weight or they want to get ready for a 5K walk; so they are only in a lifestyle change for a short period of time. Many of us, however, want to change things for the long haul; meaning a lifetime. Keto Lifestyle For this post, I am highlighting a really easy recipe. This recipe is part of my own personal Keto journey. The dietary changes I made were for more than one reason. My personal medical issues and weight loss; I simply wanted to feel better. I like most people, didn't overindulge in things, but the things I chose to love just were not loving me. I did enjoy potato chips, Tostitos type chips, how about those yummy suga...

Truly Grass Fed Natural Sharp Cheddar Oh, I couldn't be more perfect to be hosting this party, I have a strong love of cheese! Yep, that's cheesy right? I partnered up with the Tryazon company and they found a sweet Irish Dairy from Kilkenny, and it was a match made in heaven. Not only is it perfect for my true love of cheese and having parties; it is also because the Truly Grass Fed farm is elevating the standard of the definition of wholesome dairy is. Why? Because I love this great Earth and they do too.  Their back to basics way of farming has been passed down through generations, they practice land preservation and sustainability. How do they do this? They take super great care and have the utmost respect for the cows. They are clean grass grazing cows. 95% of their time is simply spent outside grazing, and when it gets too cold, they are given shelters and they eat grass that was harvested earlier! These cows graze in small herds of only 100 head and they graze ...

My friend is hosting a party for the fourth of July and she called and asked what can I do really quick to put on my table?  I said go buy something!  LOL😃   You know I did not. I suggested that she make several types of extremely easy crafts. For the purpose of this article, I chose one that I had done in the past, and it is a beginner level easy.👍 I usually decorate my house for all the seasonal holidays and the fourth of July is no exception. There are many ways you can decorate for this theme. Anything that has red, white or blue in it or on it and basically you're set! It does not have to have stars and stripes on it to qualify. I love to have the American flag around, and often times I buy those 10 for $2.00 type handfuls when I see them. These flags are great along a pathway or attached to your mailbox or for use in a tablescape, door wreath or centerpiece. EASY FLAG CENTERPIECE WHAT YOU NEED *styrofoam ball (medium size) *acrylic/tempera paint ...

MaryCaliendoPhoto2019 Here's a quick review of the Cyclo Cobra Wireless Earbuds, and as everyone knows I'm not the world's greatest Tech or electronics guru. As much as I try to stay in the loop, the majority of the time I'll ask someone nearby like a teenager or a husband for help. So anything Bluetooth or wireless in general seemed to be way out of my expertise field, but it appears that my fear prevented me from even trying anything new. So whenever it had a wire attached to it or a book of instructions, I immediately just asked for help.  Over the years as I dabbled more in the technology sector the products became easier and easier to figure out on my own!  How about that?😃 So for this product, I tried to sync it first and ask questions later! The first step charging the earbuds = easy!  Once charged I moved to the second step which was to sync them using Bluetooth to my phone, I turned on Bluetooth and found the name and then it was synced. Again, easy...
