BEAUTY IS A LIFESTYLE THING

I put my cushions on my patio chairs after we had a string of temperatures above our normal temps. of course I became Spring feverish! I know you did too. I even heard a motorcycle in the background and knew the warmth of Spring was near! I really did enjoy this cup of tea outside and it was 70 degrees, But the great Midwest and Mother nature has other ideas. While all the while my little bulbs are starting to burst all over. Spring Flowers! When the flowers begin filling in, it's just a gorgeous show. This winter however, we have found diggings, bulbs pulled out and mulch strewn about! We have found we have many furry friends like the voracious vole,the sneaky squirrels, and the big bellied bunnies who all have had a meal or two in our fine outdoor restaurant. Anyway, this Fall I have to replant the majority of my Tulips, the Tulips must be the preferred feast. So now that it's back in the 20's and the 30's, I've ditched the outdoor grill for making and baking in...

I thought it was important to share this. I know that in the last two weeks, you may have asked yourself this question. What can I do? For this posting today I put these nice sized (16 x 20") posters in my window. This was at the very least I could do, so in the next subsequent days I will be working with one of my blogging reps. to post more information and places to donate to Ukraine and to help with donations. I'm hoping that maybe you've asked what can I do as well. I'll provide a list of places so that if you do desire to donate you can, or if you just want to pass the post along to a friend you can do that too. Sunflowers have become synonomous with Ukraine and with peace. This acrylic painting above I did this past August when I was feeling especially creative, I hope you love it as much as I do and I thought it was perfect for this post. Have a superior day and look for my upcoming posts on places to donate. Let's all pray and share the message of hope ...

I cannot tell you how many times I have written an article regarding the cleanliness of makeup brushes. I will give you three guesses and the first two do not count, on who is the number one violator of her own words, that's right, me! Oh it's awful, because I get busy and like everyone else I forget to do it. I have sensitive skin and light to moderate rosacea so I am a prime example of those who can get skin irritation from filthy brushes. The brushes will not even apply makeup correctly if they are corroded and filled with makeup that is built up over time! There is a huge amount of bateria that will naturally also build up on your brushes from skin cells and pollution that is naturally or un naturally found on your skin. **Look how dirty mine are** Especially that sponge applicator, By the way they truly are disposable and if they start to shred or come apart, they definitely need to be tossed. Now a lot of the top makeup gurus and dermatoligists say to wash make up br...

So you need a simple,quick, and easy snack recipe and it has to be Keto-friendly? Oh I have a great little snack that takes about 10 minutes to prepare and to bake and you'll just love them. These treats are something a bit different but will keep you satisfied and in ketosis. (I'm that person who is FOMO) Really, I am missing out and if one intends to stay with the keto lifestyle, you have to give yourself little easy snacks that you can much on while everyone is opening a bag of chips and dip in front of you. This recipe isn't just good for keto, anyone at all can eat these and love them. Preheat your oven between 375-400 degrees (oven times vary) For this recipe I will be using a regular sized muffin tin pan, one can use the mini-muffin maker and I would set the oven on only 375 degrees. Also, one caveat, you also have to love pickles! For this recipe I am using dill pickles. Pre-cut coin size pickles work great for this recipe, but I didn't have any on-hand s...
