Categories: Health

Merry Christmas, sisters and brothers of the world. Regardless of whether you’re a Christian or not, the point of this day is to celebrate the Christ within all of us. You can call that that inward Being Christ, God, Allah, the Great Spirit – or Fred and Ethel. The name is totally irrelevant. However, that […]

Finding Bliss: Being Blissful In A Negative Culture
Categories: Mixed Bag

Finding bliss is an unusual topic in our cynical, often-violent and definitely negative culture. Whenever I mention “bliss & happiness” I usually get sideways glances that mean, “Watch out! Lobotomized Pollyanna* in the vicinity”. Yet humans have been on this planet for thousands of years. In fact, the oldest known humanoid fossil is one million […]

I’m beginning a serious detox right after Christmas, so I figure I might as well enjoy my gourmet coffees for the next couple of weeks. Starbucks gourmet coffee, that is. In fact, I have a gold card I’m such a fanatic. But I’m not going to kid myself about coffee and its health benefits (ha!) […]

Organic Face Cream A Must!
Categories: Natural Skin Care

One reason that an organic face cream is a ‘must’ is that it isn’t loaded with preservatives. I have been accused of being an alarmist for even caring about such an issue. After all, what’s the big deal about a dab of preservative in a face cream? It’s only a small amount and it’s outside […]

Varicose And Spider Veins Treatment
Categories: Natural Remedies

A spider veins treatment is of intense interest to many women. Spider veins and varicose veins (often misspelled as vericose veins) are – sort of – the same thing.
