Five Beauty Fruits

Beauty has never been so tasty! These five fruits can help you achieve a more beautiful you. All you have to do is enjoy two to three servings of these fruits a day. You should be able to notice a difference in a week or so.

Blueberries: Blueberries are packed with anti-oxidants. They help balance out free-radicals that can be showing up on your skin in forms of acne or bumps. Blueberries’ benefits also include improvement on short term memory loss and reducing the risks of some cancers.

Avocados: Avocados are not only good for you to eat, but they are also good for you to wear. Eating avocados helps with skin problems because it is a great anti-oxidant. Mashed avocado makes a great mask. Wearing this mask helps with skin rashes and leaves skin feeling soft.

Mango: Mango contains a lot of beta carotene. Beta carotene helps maintain the epithelial tissues. Maintaining your epithelial tissues is important to prevent premature wrinkling.

Oranges: Oranges are full of vitamin C. Vitamin C prevents loss in skin elasticity. It also aids in healing cuts and bruises. Having a good amount of Vitamin C in your diet has also been known to make your skin glow.

Apples: You have heard the cliché, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Studies show that it will also keep the dermatologists away. Like blueberries and avocados, apples also have a lot of anti-oxidants. It is also anti-inflammatory, which is good for those who suffer from skin rashes or redness.

Each of these beauty fruits are inexpensive and easy to indulge in. To eat more of these fruits, try adding them to a salad or blending them into a smoothie. Who would have thought that beauty was in the refrigerator?

Valentine's with your pet

The moment you laid eyes on your pet, Cupid was flying above. Although you did not know, it was all planned. Cupid shot you both with his arrow of love. When you looked into those big eyes you knew it was the one. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and your pet knows it. The furry little munchkin sees the love in your eyes every time you look at him or her. Don’t forget about buying a gift to show your affection towards your pet. There are great gift items, like tins you could fill with dog or cat treats along with a gift- wrapped charm for their leash. You could give them that after a heart shaped molded tray of food. Show your pet how special they are to you this Valentine’s Day. I’m sure they have been a gift of love.

Art is Art

And I love this art. I can just imagine sitting in front of this church or building and enjoying the view with an oaky chardonnay.

I am in awe of those who can transform a snapshot from a magical moment in time into a permanent reflection that other's can enjoy.
