Beauty worth the time………….

There is so much available at the department stores in the way of natural products.  I have recently tried a very old company and its natural soaps….the aloe is natural, but some of the other ingredients are oily.  You just have to try those products and see what effects it has on your skin or hair, then make a logical choice.  The better product may cost less or more, depending on the company and ingredients you need.  Sometimes the better product is a bargain.  Have a great day!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/   

Family and love………….

These days it’s hard to mix children and work….it is hard to show the amount of love they need when you must do so much to make a living.  I am sensitive to this subject because I have a little one.  Children need love at any age, but it has a very lasting effect on them when they are little.  Many of you may know by now, studies showing the the connection between affection and brain development in children and how it affects them for the rest of their lives.  I am a firm believer that you will make a difference in your childrens’ lives by how you raise them….what you teach them from your mouth as well as your own behavior. 

There are many teachers for parenting, and you need to use wisdom even in that choice.  I do have a suggestion: Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a great common sense teacher and author about relationships of all kinds.  I hope this has been helpful.  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/ 

Smooth Away…………

Just a word about something I’ve tried lately….it’s called Smooth Away.  It is basically a fine sander which smooths the excess hair away and exfoliates your skin at the same time……and my skin feels very smooth and soft.  I’m glad I tried it.  I will sometimes use a hair removing lotion, but it does run into the money.  These “sanders” last longer and the cost is excellent.  As the advertisement goes….”No pain…No Chemicals…No Razor burn”.  Have a great day!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/ 

Christmas thoughts…a re-post………….

As we rush and bustle around, trying to do the Christmas thing….I hope we will all remember the reason for all this hurrying.  We’ve been celebrating this birth for 2000 plus years, now.  How awesome and wonderful is that?!  I am so glad for the birth of such a one as He.  He brought love and joy and peace…….to me.  He came into this world by choice…was born in a stable by choice, was brought up by a poor family by choice, and was spit on…whipped…and nailed to a cross…..by choice…for me, so I could celebrate, for real, this Christmas.  To us a Savior is born, it is Christ the Lord!  Merry, merry Christmas!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/

Beautiful skin…………….

Taking good care of your skin is essential to its beauty for a very long time.  When washing your face, as much as possible, use a natural soap.  Rub in a circular motion gently on each spot several times (I use my Japanese wash cloth).  Make sure not to forget your neck because it wrinkles too.  Also, pay particular attention to those places apt to wrinkle most; the eyes, mouth, forehead, etc.  Pat it dry, and use a very good facial lotion.  You will see a wonderful difference in your beauty…..Have a beautiful day!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/

Beauty cloth from Japan…a re-post…………

I have been using a product all my life that I have taken for granted, but I would like to share it with you.  You’ve probably seen an imitation of this cloth…but there is not replacement for the real thing.  It is an exfoliating cloth called Salux.  There is truly no substitute.  First of all the other “guys” do not clean as well (it’s too soft).  Salux exfoliates and stimulates your skin.  It is also nice and long so you can reach around your back and get a good scrub, and it dries out quickly after use.   You can buy these cloths that are Japanese made at Amazon.com……………..enjoy!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/  

Delicious…mmmmmm…..

I thought I would get this recipe out before Christmas…my version of the Pumpkin Pie recipe:  this will make 2-9″ pies…

We start out with the 29 ounce can of Libby’s 100% pumpkin.

Libby’s Famous Pumkin Pie (Wai’s Version):

• 1 1/2 cups of (Sugar In The Raw) raw sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp. of minced ginger – (sometimes I use more) (Lee Kum Kee brand)
• 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
• 4  large eggs
• 1 can 29 ounce Libby’s Pumpkin
• 2 cans (12 fl. ounces) evaporated milk….Carnation or Pet
• 2 unbaked deep-dish pie crusts

Then we just follow the recipe as it is on the can:

Mix: sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in small bowl.  Beat eggs in large bowl.  Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture.  Gradually stir in evaporated milk. 

Pour: into pie shells.

Bake: in preheated 425 degrees F. oven for 15 minutes.  Reduce temp. to 350 degrees F.; bake 40-50 minutes or until knife inserted into the center of pie, comes out clean.  Cool on wire rack for 1-2 hours. 

Then….dig in!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/ 

 

 

 

Lovely…..a re-post………

There is so much out there that claim to be all natural, some real and some not.  One of the best hair products I have ever used comes from a company from Colorado… ABBA.  They are truly all natural!  Do you know you can even use some of the conditioners to moisturize your skin?  The company has many types of shampoos and conditioners for all types of hair.  Go to Beauty Deals and try it, I know from experience that you will be amazed at the results!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/
