Try this: When you are in bed in the morning, put your hand on your belly and breath in deeply, then ask yourself (Out Loud) "The most important thing my spirit needs to attend to today is (Fill in Blank)"
The first answer that comes to mind IS
the answer. Don't question it. Then, NO MATTER WHAT happens that day DO THAT THING.

Beautiful Music

My Hallelujah Song
~Julianne Hough

This song is such a great way to get you in the space of, for lack of a better term "acting as if"
The words and the beat of this song are upbeat, fun and inspirational. When you listen to this song you can actually picture yourself having the life of your dreams.
Hallelujah!!!

Beautiful Hair

Do you have Dull and Lifeless Hair?
You may want to test your water. Thats right. Mineral deposits in hard water build up on hair. In order to see if your water is the culprit of the dull problem,

DO THIS:
Fill 2 glasses of water, one with bottled distilled water and the other from your tap. Add one tablespoon of dish soap to each and stir until there are suds. If there are far less suds in the tap water then your water is hard and is probably the culprit of your dull hair.
One solution is to use distilled water as the final rinse when you shampoo. The other is to use a clarifying shampoo once every 3 to 4 weeks. Clarifying shampoos vary from brand to brand. Personally I feel many of them are far over rated and over priced for what they do.

Go with Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo. You can find it anywhere and it works very well. One word of caution: Always use a very good moisturizing conditioner after clarifying shampoos as they tend to strip your hair of vital oils and moisture.

Here's raising a glass of water to shiny and healthy hair!

Beautiful Family

Beautiful Family JandSOne of my dearest friends Jen Clements recently began writing a column for www.examiner.com
Jen is a loving wife and amazing mother to Sophia (pictured Right!).

All her writing for these columns are in some way centered around being a Mom. Since I know that many of you are also Mom's I wanted to make sure that you knew about Jen's work.
Jen gives practical, fun and informative advice on anything from Arbor Day to quitting smoking and lots in between.
Think of Jens articles as Martha Stewart's "Good Things" but for Moms!

Even if you aren't a Mother (like Moi!), I'm sure you will get something out of Jen's insights :)
