Tis the Season!

 
Winter in Florida is a bit different from most of the country.  When I think Christmas, I think ripe lemons and naval oranges.

Take Care of Yourself So You Can Take Care Of Others.

The Holiday Season can be the most wonderful time of the year.  But for women, it can be the most frantic time of year, too.  We’re in such a rush to get everything done that needs doing.  Taking care of our loved ones heads the top of our lists, but sometimes we forget to take [...]

Thank You For Not Smelling Sweet

Perfume can be deadly.  I’m an asthmatic and like many others, am extremely sensitive to perfumes and scents.  Some people have allergic reactions to perfumes and scented products.  I’ve had to leave more retail stores, friends’ homes and even hotel rooms than I can remember because of incense, scented candles, air fresheners, fresh flowers, carpet [...]
