She's so beautiful. I am sure she's up there in the spirit world perhaps playing with my cat who died a few months ago so I understand your loss. May she rest in peace. ... View related article. |

This is great, I actually do this myself but it's usually by accident because I rarely have paper pads around the house these days. :) ... View related article. |

| RE: Eight Ways To Have A Greener Christmas |
Thanks! These are great tips! I actually never put up a tree because I don't like artificial ones and I don't like having one that has been cut down. I am definitely going to buy a live one this year and replant it. :)
I use those reusable grocery bags for my gifts or wrap things in newspaper. I don't decorate much but I do try to get all my baking done at once and I use the convection setting on my oven too.

| RE: Saving Money on Shoes |
|
I don't buy inexpensive footwear anymore because of the arthritis on my feet and good footwear is always a good investment. When I went from cheap to pricey footwear my feet improved tremendously. I either shop at Zappos.com, or the thrift store as they sometimes have good brands and good shoe stores on the sales rack. When I order online I look for coupon codes on retailmenot.com to get the best price. If you take care of them you'll have them for years! ... View related article. |

| RE: Minimizing Deep Scars |
A company called Derma E makes a scar gel which is great! I actually got a sample by writing the company as I just got surgery and am using it for my scar. It dries quickly as well and soaks in a lot better than vitamin E (which I also use).
Here are some reviews: http://www.makeupalley.com/product/ ... erma_E_Scar_Gel/Derma_E/Moisturizers
It's about $20 and a little goes a long way. They recommend using it for 8 weeks on a fresh scar and about 6 months on an older scar. Good luck!
Here is the company website: www.dermae.net
You can get a free sample package of their products for $4.95 shipping too.

| RE: Ideas for a Vegetarian Cooking for Meat Eaters |
I am vegan but my husband occasionally eats fish and chicken outside of the home (usually because of work) but he does not want meat in the house as he finds it repulsive too. I do cook for friends sometimes who are meateaters and I end up making things like Chili with the fake soy ground round (no one will know, I promise!). You can do this with lasagna and other dishes where the soy ground is somewhat hidden. It makes a great Sheppard's Pie too. Personally I wouldn't allow meat in the house. If they want it, tell them to cook it themselves and that they can be responsible for making their own meals. Maybe then, they'll eat what you make. That's what I used to do with my husband before he stopped eating the stuff. I would just cook something and if he didn't want it, too bad. He could starve or cook something himself. He ended up loving almost everything I made and stopped eating meat because of how good he felt and how good everything tasted.
I've actually converted a lot of people to eat less meat because of how tasty the meals are that I make. Try this book: VEGANOMICON by Isa Chandra. Has amazing recipes, very easy and tasty stuff for anyone to enjoy!
I am almost 40 and people still think I am a student at university. My husband is 37 and looks 25. My naturopath said it's partially genes but also our diet. It's amazing what food can do for you. We are never sick and we are both slim and healthy. Maybe that will be an incentive for people to stop eating the stuff! :) Good luck! ... View related article. |
