The juice of fresh fruits and vegetables

About Fruit Juices
One of the fastest, easiest ways to replenish vitamins, minerals, and enzymes and undo the damage caused by poor eating habits is to drink the juice of fresh fruits and vegetables. In fact, on an empty stomach, fresh juice can be absorbed into the bloodstream and start renewing our energy within 15 minutes.


My Juicer is the most useful kitchen tool and I use it several times a week to make fresh fruit and veggie juice. Carrot, apple, lemon and green juices are my favorites.

Fruit juicers

Fresh friuts and vegetables provide a wealth of essential vitamins and minerals, especially those that act as antioxidants. Antioxidants like vitamin A, C, and E and selenium help protect our bodies from cell damage caused by overexposure to sunlight, pollutants in the air and water, toxins and additives in our enviroment. All of these factors can slowly chip away at our health and accelerate the aging process. They can also plant seeds for future disease, especially cancer.

Antioxidant not only protect our health, but they also rejuvenate our skin, help lower cholesterol, energize our body, and keep our mind alert.

In order to digest our food and absorb vital nutrients like antioxidants, our bodies also need enzymes. Abundant in fresh juices, enzymes are necessary for just about every function in the body. Whether it's digestion, absorption, immune function, or nerve impulse transmission, our bodies could not survive without enzymes.

To increase our chances of living a disease-free, energetic life, the addition of fresh juices to our lifestyle is a tasty, quick, and easy way to start.

Fresh, home-made juices are my Favorite juices

Let's drink to our health!

Phenomenal Woman - Her light is seen

Monday 22-September is my Dear Mom Birthday (79)
This post and poem I dedicate to my Mom.

Dear Mom....
Do you know that your light is seen, your heart is known, your soul is cherished by more people than you might imagine. If you knew how many others have been touched in wonderful ways by you, you would be astonished. If you knew how many people feel so much for you, you would be shocked.
You are far more wonderful than you think you are.
Mom, You are so incredibly special!


Happy Birthday to You Mom!

Phenomenal Woman
by
Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.


Happy Birthday to my Mom!

What instead of botox?

Why do we call it beauty treatment? Why not call it fantasy treatment, or taking advantage of insecurities, or giving everyone the same look, or experimenting with people's gullibility. How sad that people's real beauty, from their character, their life experiences, and yes, their wrinkles and sun spots, is being ignored, while a false image is being presented as valuable.— Arlyman, France

So To Botox or Not to Botox ?…... you'd be surprised at the number of women for whom THAT is the question.

Do you agree with Arlyman’s opinion? I think he’s right.

It’s nice to look attractive and beautiful – it’s more important to be alive and real.

What can we do to maintain our beauty and youthfulness?

Very much of it really depends on our lifestyle.

Today I would like to suggest to you one of my favorite methods –
A Do-It Yourself Facial Massage.

Your face is full of muscles and therefore should be treated just like the other muscles of your body.

We all know that when our muscles are in good shape we feel good, strong and youthful.
The same will be true of your facial muscles.

A facial massage is just one of many natural and very effective methods.

You don’t have to pay huge sums of money for a facial massage that will enliven your complexion, tone and condition your skin, relax your facial muscles, improve circulation, break down fatty deposits, release toxins, reduce wrinkles, and leave your skin feeling smoother and more vibrant.

How To Give Yourself An Energizing Facial Massage.

This facial massage technique shows you how to perform the massage on yourself which means you can do it in the comfort of your own home at your leisure. Its easy, free, and takes very less time compared to regular facial massage.

All it takes is a tiny bit of know-how.

Watch and try it, you will see the effects immediately:

My simple, cheap but very effective massage appliances. We don’t need expensive appliances we just need to use what we have.


If a blind man can see the beauty that is within, then why is it that people with sight are too blind to see it? -

Health and Beauty....Botox????

"If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should not grow old."......... James A. Garfield

Photo NEWSWEEK From the magazine issue dated Apr 21, 2008
Today's world is obsessed with Botox . Men as well as women strive to look young and beautiful. However, with the price of appearing young and beautiful, being a face full of poison (botulin-sausage poison), we should ask ourselves

"Is it worth it?"

Should our health be disregarded for the sake of appearing young, healthy and beautiful?
With Botox (botulin) injections under the skin the poison paralizes the muscles and swells the skin, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The effects of the injections will typically last for only a few weeks, then it is back to the doctor for more costly and dangerous treatments.

Are we sure that the happiness in our life, our work, our love and even our luck can be affected by our wrinkles?
Aren't we better off looking for healthier, cheaper and less dangerous ways to look and feel young and beautiful?
We should all begin by examining what's inside us. Only our inner beauty can truly reveal to the world how attractive we are.

My beautiful friend Shelia said: Beauty is living the life you life... How true.

Inspired by Shelia - Bathroom Beauty Shots

I took this pic by myself in my bathroom and asked myself - Do I need a botox?...
Maybe...But my decision is ...No, no....no.

"Don't do what I want you to do. Do what YOU want to do. Follow your own dreams".

And remember :

-Sefety before beauty
-The power comes from within
-Young at heart is really young.

I have a question : What instead of botox?

Have a beautiful, blessing week!

Walking... it is not easy

I'm sorry the video is not perfect, but I didn't want to lose this moment.

Kyle walking



I wanted to come back and share a little bit about my grandsons. As most of my friends know, Kevin (3 years old), is seriously sick, with leukemia. He is currently undergoing his next round of chemotherapy, and though this stage of the treatment is not as intense, it is not scheduled to be finished until 2010.

At the moment, Kevin is very cheerful and happy. His hair is growing.
Thank you so much for your prayers and supporting words! I really appreciate them.!

Kevin's brother Kyle is a year old and they love each other very much. Last month, Kyle began to walk and Kevin was very, very happy. (video)
