I experimented with a copper roller very common in Asian medicine, for wrinkles and dark circles. I was hesitant to use it because it stinks like metal! I just used it on my left hand, because I had no idea what it would do. After 10 rolls, I could see a major difference! I ran to my hubby and said, ”Can you see a difference in my hands?!?” ”Yah. Why does your right hand look so old?” He thought I did something to my RIGHT hand to make it look older! Nope! I did something to make my LEFT hand look younger! If you are over 35, you probably noticed that the skin on your ...

There’s something we all want: beautiful, young legs! As we age, our legs are actually the body part that we have the MOST control over. My legs, now in my 40’s, look the same as they did in my 20’s. If you think about it: The bones in your legs haven’t changed. The skin on your legs is more taunt than anywhere on your body. Of all places, we carry the least amount of fat on our legs, too. What makes legs look less lovely as we get older, is lack of muscle tone. And we have full control over that! When I was at the worst of my chronic fatigue, I got very little exercise. I ...

I’m so grateful to go through chronic illness, and still not have cavities- for 7 years. However, one canine turned, and I lost jaw bone (my front teeth are up and down, instead of at a slight angle). But no cavities does not mean I had no enamel issues.

Before my illness, people would constantly tell me that my teeth were so white. I regularly looked at my teeth under bright lights, and poked around with my fingernail for soft or painful spots. But they r ...

My hair got so thin, I was thinking seriously of cutting is short. What stopped me is- short would still look thin. I thought that I would maybe wear it up more often to disguise it’s thinness. But eventually my hair grew back! The front is much better which is very important to me. My hairline is square-ish, so any thinness looks terrible! It is still a bit thin in the very middle of the part line, at the top of my crown. So I still have a way to improve. Most people can’t tell. There’s a long standing hair secret out there. It’s pre-natal vitamins. I’ve heard of ma ...

On my wonderful vacation to Cuba, I ate well. I ate as much fruit and veggies that I normally would at home. I didn’t eat meat which was easy. However, I realized how much I need my nuts & seeds! Obviously, you can’t bring food into a foreign country, so I didn’t have any. Within a couple days, I already felt like I was lacking protein and fat. And beans didn’t do it for me. It actually helped me realize that many people try go vegan or vegetarian and go into old school thinking - eat lots of beans and soy. Well, I can tell you, nuts & seeds are NOT the same...at all! The ot ...
