Well, finally, I have started to compile my homemade concoctions from household cleaners to aromatherapy and put them all in one spot. I hope this helps you when you need one of my recipes and can't remember just what it was and/or how much of this or that to add. These are things you can make straight from your pantry. Well, you might have to shop for an item or two. I love doing this for you. Please, have a look around and feel free to leave your questions and/or comments. I appreciate every one of them. Thanks for stopping by!

I'm moving! You can follow me to my next adventure here!

Beauty Tips for Everyone!

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers
through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed ... never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover you have two hands:
one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
For a beautiful Heart, let Jehovah God into it.
