Taking care of your skin



Part of taking care of your skin is protecting it from heat and cold.  Start with getting enough hydration or water in your diet, as well as a balanced healthy diet. This is the start to healthy skin. Staying away from drugs, alcohol, and smoking can make a big difference in how your skin ages a well looks. Of course you have to take into account the genes you acquired along the way from your ancestors. 

Everyone had different skin and has to find their own personal skin care regimen, but protecting you skin from the sun is a must. Make sure to always put on Sunscreen when you are going to be out in the sun. This is something I don't do as much as I would like to, mainly from laziness. 

I use a face cream with built in sunscreen which I always rub on my neck and hands. Other then that I am not always protected. I am more proactive about protecting my children's skin then I am my own. Why? Simply because they go outside more often that myself. 

When I know I am going to be out in the sun for any length of time such as taking the kids to sports practice, theme parks, the beach, etc. I make sure to slather up but for everyday when I will only be out in the sun for a few minutes I just don't take the time to put it on, but I should really do this because most car rides are over 30 minutes which brings it up to at least an hour of driving in the sun. Even though cars now have UV for the windshields, you really should slather up just on precaution. 

Andre Lorent makes a great sunscreen that is non greasy, paba free, fragrance free, as well as being made without animal testing. My favorite part is that this sunscreen moisturizes and rehydrates so I am not left with dry skin at the end of the day.

You can purchase the Andre Lorent rehydrating sunscreen on Amazon.


What Andre Lorent has to say about their product.
Imagine a heavenly sunscreen that you actually looked forward to using every day. Why? Because it contained anti-aging properties in a unique proprietary formula called Sundrisol7(TM).

This sunscreen is so good you'll want to use it as your daily moisturizer. This is a sunscreen which you've never experienced anything quite like before.

It has a texture which is as luxurious as your favorite daily face moisturizer... yet it's a sunscreen. Hence the name, Andre Lorent daily rehydrating sunscreen. Not only does it work on your face, it works on your whole body!

Here's a shocker for you
 - almost all sunscreens you buy only protect against the sun's "burning rays" (known as UVB rays). However, so very few sunscreens ALSO simultaneously protect against "aging rays" (known as UVA rays).

This Andre Lorent daily Hydrating SPF 30 Sunscreen is the leader at protecting you from both aging AND burning rays.
Women, men and children 6 months or older from all over are benefiting from this daily hydrating sunscreen.

Need a little extra help touching your toes?























Even at my size I have always been able to touch my toes except for when I was  pregnant. I recently found out that most of my children could not touch their toes. Crazy right. I thought the school had them stretching and exercising. It does show you that you can not assume the school is doing their job keeping your children healthy when they are away from home.

I know that touching your toes does not mean you are healthy but it does mean you have flexibility. All of my children could touch their toes before they went to school. So to remedy the situation I have had them working on stretching touching their toes and even having them do some yoga which they enjoy.

With having Fibromyalgia I can't quite stretch and bend like I used to from the mere fat that has built up on my body, but I can still touch my toes, and almost do a split (the fat on my thighs would probably bust open if I pushed my body all the way to the limit) which is quite amazing in itself.

Childbirth is easier with the more flexibility you have. Stretching is so very important to both health and mind. I usually stretch after I am done meditating which feels great.

I really like how this strap can be made to help people like me stretch just a bit further as well as helping get into yoga moves you just want to get a little closer to the correct pose. Do take caution and never over stretch. Stretch a little more each day if you are not already stretching everyday so that you do not have muscle strain or hurt your body in any way.

You can purchase the DanceCrazy Ultra Stretch Strep on Amazon.

What DanceCrazy has to say about their product.
The DanceCrazy Ultra Stretch Strap!

Brand New from DanceCrazy, an aid in stretching muscles before or after a workout. Great product for people who have always found stretching unassisted to be difficult. Allows you to finally get a good stretch on your own!

Fairies and Hearts

























What a great product. I have tried out several face paint kits, and so far this is the smoothest to use on my daughters face. I didn't have to fight with the paint at all. What I really love for my Vegan readers is that is actually Vegan which is great for those looking for something safe and fun to do with their children.

I really like how easy the paint was to use as well as how vibrant the colors were on the skin. This kit says it will do 80 face paintings. I am thinking it would do 80 from the templates it sends or your own creations about that size but I could be wrong. You don't need much paint at all because the colors are so vibrant.

You can see my video below.



You can purchase the Heartland Store, tip top face paint kit on Amazon.
