BEAUTY IS A LIFESTYLE THING

I have a project that is easy and you can put your personal spin on it! I love doing projects that are easy, and relatively cost-effective. This quick project can easily be used as a gift to give or can be put on your wall in your own home.  I have seen these types of wall art in stores and they are very costly.  What I did was go to my local craft store and purchased anything I did not already have. For this wall art, I wanted to go "neutral" in color.  For my Valentines Day  wall art, I used these things: 8"x 10" white canvas 1 package of paper flowers ( approx. 3.99) 1 package small wooden letters (approx. 1.99) optional White glue acrylic paints    (chose to mix a light blue and white together) (and did bright yellow on the sides) Directions: Step 1: Paint canvas  (you can choose the color, and be patient let it dry, can also use watercolors it may dry a little faster) Just painted Step 2: Plan the way yo

KINDNESS ROCKS I’m on a Mindful journey and healing/mending takes on a whole new perspective whether you set out to be kind or kindness happens by accident. As I journey through mindfulness, I find that you can pass on hope and inspiration to others and by doing simple acts of kindness they will help to heal you. You will be helping to cause a ripple effect in the universe and you’ll get this feeling because you’ll realize that it is so much bigger than ourselves. I recently got caught being kind and someone sent me a #kindawesome card, and then I was sent two KIND snacks in appreciation! So awesome and kind! You can send someone who does something kind if you go to howkindofyou.com   then share your snack on social like I have so you too can pass on this kind campaign to someone else. @kindsnacks  #kindawesome Thank you @kindsnacks for doing this! My take on The Kindness Rocks Project I love the Kindness Rocks Project! “One message a

My Ketogenic Journey For the past three months, I have journeyed into the “keto” diet. I was looking for a diet that I could make what I wanted and lose weight. I have struggled with other diets, feeling deprived and not being able to stay on them. At first, I delved into the list and thought “Oh wow, this is going to be tough”, it’s so restrictive! But for some reason, at this point, it has been easy. I feel better, i.e. way less bloated and I did lose weight immediately! This helps to keep you in the game. So….. I’m pasta-less, potato-less, bread-less and I love it.  Mostly, keto is everything I was eating already, just remove all the carbs and sugar and voila! Pounds gone, I highly recommend. At this writing, I have successfully lost 21 pounds. Here’s my take on lunch the other day: My own keto take on salmon salad (faux salmon nicoise) ½ C= about 4 oz.  (Mixed greens: spinach, kale, chard, arugula) 7g of carb, 3 g fiber, 4 net carbs 40 calories 1 ½ C =about 12
