A life without cheese is no life at all. At least some would say. I have mostly been off of dairy my entire adult life for health reasons (and a happier tummy) and have had to get creative in the kitchen to recreate my comforting favorites. What I have learned over the years is what […]

Enhancing Fertility.

A new Beauty.
Everything we put on our skin matters. 60-100% of everything placed on our skin is absorbed into our lymph and blood stream, which then circulates through all of our organs.

Lily lake is where Brian proposed to me 10 years ago (story to follow) and is a special spot for us. It […]

They make wonderful gifts, and I have been the recipient of a number of heartfelt orchid gifting’s. There is one problem I have with Orchid’s though. I can never get them to […]
