SNOW

Ms Mandi Photo 1

January set the pregnancy stick down on the white Formica counter-top. Tapping her finger, as she bit down on the tip of her it, she was lost in thought. Did she want the test to come out positive or would it be safer to have a negative result…

She knew she loved Jack with all her heart, but was he marriage material…

Unexpectedly she jumped, hearing the creak of the front door.

“Honey, are you home…”

Damn, it was Jack. Closing her eyes and reluctantly opening them again, she peeked down at the pink stick. Her heart dropped.

“I’m in here, Jack.” She called out.

Tree Protestors “Tree Huggers”

IMG_4716

“Tree Huggers” are carrying on a great cause…the need to save our trees from being ruthlessly chopped down, especially the protection of our ancient Redwood Forest in Northern California.

These unique individuals, called protestors, climb up these large trees and set up camp. They remain living in these trees from several months to years, supporting their cause…

SNOW

Ms Mandi Photo 1

“Jack, why are you mad!”

“I’m not.”

The night was late, but January could slightly see the beginning of the sunrise peeking its way up and over the shoreline.

She loved this time of night, the beginning hours of a new day, but there was bad blood between she and Jack. She knew he was mad, but she didn’t care because she too was frustrated with him and his lack of character.

All she could think to do was to lay her head down on his shoulder, closing her eyes as they sped down the highway, at speeds over a hundred miles.

Sometimes, life felt as if it too were passing her by.

No words can explain the feeling of climbing up Strawberry Rock in Humboldt County…

DSC_0501 (2)

I thought we were going on a casual hike…but what I experienced was a face of rocks with a rope to pull myself up. At first, I was scared, but once I got to the top of the rock, Strawberry Rock, what I saw was so majestic and beautiful…I don’t even think I captured it in the camera lens.

Mystical Beaches

College Cove Beach is a great place to visit if you are into sightseeing. The tide pools are wonderful…Starfish and Sea Anemone galore.

Just take the 101 highway, 2 hours North of the Oregon border.

Enjoy your day!

Exfoliating…

Ms Mandi Photo 1</

Daily Tip:

It is so important to exfoliate at least once a week.

You may chose from a variety of exfoliating creams, from your local drugstore to your fancy department store brands. Find one that works best for your skin type, but it is imperative to your complexion and youth to do this once a week.

Start with doing the following:

1. Wash and cleanse your face with your favorite cleanser

2. Use your favorite toner

3. Pat dry your skin

4. Apply your favorite eye cream gently around the eye and lip area

5. Apply your favorite exfoliating cream

6. Once it has dried the allowed amount of time, apply a warm wash cloth compress to face

7. Rinse product off with warm water and wash cloth

8. Gently pat dry

9. Apply your favorite facial cream

Have fun pampering yourself because you deserve it!

HOME SWEET HOME
Ms Mandi Photo 1

We have all wondered how much more our economy and as people can take. The mortgage crash of 2006 has severely affected our country and other countries. So many families have lost and are still losing their homes. It may just be a home to some. It may just be hard times, some may say. However, true these statements are, the fact of it is that a house holds a lot more than merely a roof over our heads.

A house is our home. A home is a place where we raise our children. A home is a place where we keep our memories. A home is a place where we grow as a family. A home is a place to feel safe in. A home is a place where we gain our future. A house is a lot more than just a dwelling. Our home is…
