How to? for a good night sleep
what can be more energizing & rejuvenating than a good night sleep?
You open your eyes & realize you slept the entire night tucked in your bed wrapped in the warm soft comforter.
One sure way to set our bedroom for a solid sleep is to pay attention to how we have placed the furniture in the bedroom.
The art of feng shui creating positive flow.
Any room with unbalanced energy not only can affect our health, but our relationships, and finances too.
Here are some feng shui rules to follow for the bedroom;
1- your head should be near a solid wall. Using a wood headboard or solid upholstered headboard.
Neutral accent pieces
Neutral bedding
2- Avoid these colors: reds, purples, blues, and black.
3- No mirrors, which would be difficult to do, but mirrors make the energies of the bedroom very active, or yang. keep it to one only, and don’t hang it on the wall near the foot of your bed.
4- Try not to have a TV or any electronic devices in the bedroom.
Summer Snacks to satisfy the entire family
On the beach, by the pool, the car trip they all call for snack time.
with the warm temperatures how to keep everything fresh is a problem but to make tasty snacks to satisfy everyone is a bigger problem.
Here is a list of few snacks our family loves.
Watermelon
Great way to stop your thirst & served with chunks of feta cheese replenishes the salt you need. Easy to transport cold or room temperature still good to eat.
Fruit & veggie bowl with cheese
grapes, pineapple, cantaloupe, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers mixed with chunks of favorite cheese. Mozzarella sticks or cheddar cubes work well together.
Hummus, yogurt with veggies
hummus with water-rich veggies like baby carrots, celery sticks or sugar snap peas.
Peanut butter & jelly
with bread or whole wheat crackers, easy to pack & store since you don’t need to worry too much about keeping them cool.
Oranges, tangelos
Oranges are hydrating and thirst quenching. they are high in vitamin C, which has been shown it limits the damage of ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Pack everything in a cooler back pack any spills will be contained.
Be safe & Healthy😎

Love your skin❤️
Love your skin
So many of fruits & vegtables we eat & cook with are the perfect skin moisturizer & cleanser.
Strawberries – mash them up directly on your skin and let that beautiful pinkish juice dry directly on your skin.
You can also use Cranberries and grapes they are great as anti-aging masks
and can help brighten up your face.
Lemon, oranges, limes, and tangerines – contain powerful skin lightening properties, they tighten up your pores and clean your face, making it shine.
Just rub a slice on your skin, wash off within 5 minutes. Don’t leave citrus fruits on your skin for more than 10-15 minutes, don’t go out in the sun for a few hours.
Tomatoes – have potassium which helps regenerate skin cells and vitamin A and C that helps nourish and lighten your skin. Take a slice & and rub it underneath your eyes, if you have dark circles.
Put them on your skin over wrinkled areas, dark spots, or acne scars. You can use them as often as you want. Leave them on for a few minutes, then wash your skin.
Cucumbers- the antioxidants and flavonoids in cucumber reduce irritation. Couple of slices on your eyes will reduce puffy eyelids. Great for even sensitive skins since cucumbers won’t cause any irritation.
Bananas – They’re good moisturizer, so mash a piece of the fruit and put it directly on your face. Rub it a little, leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse it.
So next time you have a clean skin, grab a berry or a piece of tangerine or a cucumber and give your skin a well deserve pampering. Your skin will love you.
