Part One :: SKIN CARE BASICS FOR AN AGELESS LOOK!
SKIN CARE BASICS FOR AN AGELESS LOOK! This summer I started thinking about really uping my skin care game. I was a lifeguard for over three years in high school and into college and let’s just say I wasn’t too interested in using sun protection over 10. Remember Ban de Soleil? Yep, that was my preferred sunscreen. Fast forward a few years and I wised up and haven’t really been in the sun for most of my adult life. Of course, we hit the beach and pool but I always cover up and wear a hat. Skin cancer scares me quite a bit and that is one of…

Delicious Spinach and Beef Lasagna Recipe

Inspired, I ventured to try to make this rather intimidating dish.

Since then, we make this dish every once in a while and last night we whipped it up within 20 minutes! It is really tasty with the spinach and fresh herbs and you’ll probably have leftovers for lunch the next day. Here’s our favorite recipe! You’ll…

Start Walking and Reclaim Your Mind and Body
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” ~ Albert Einstein A few months ago I decided to take time out for myself and get back in shape. I was SO over carrying this extra weight I gained from my neck injury and taking steroids (it is a real thing people) and I wanted to find a form of exercise that would fit into my busy lifestyle. Heck, we are all too busy these days, but finding time to take care of our body is so very important. I think many times…
