For those of us who are getting older every minute…(hee hee) and have some skin discolouration from the sun, yet need protection, my daily cream to date is …
The Revelage Brightening Moisture Face Cream with SPF 30
I use it in conjunction with my RE9 products and the Revelage line. They work well together. There is also a fantastic hand cream that brightens and contains sunscreen too.
I must admit I am in love with the newest products Arbonne has just launched!
Firstly, the new mascara - "It's A Long Story"! My eyelashes feel so full and look sooo long. It's water resistant and lasts wonderfully.
Secondly, Wow! Fantastic! Arbonne has just introduced a new hair care line that I love. I typically have dry coloured hair and this stuff is great. And…a mousse that is botanically based, pure, safe and beneficial...from a green company that's earth friendly. I am really excited knowing that these products are safe for me and cruelty free.
This mousse protects hair from sun damage and maintains hair colour longer. (May also be purchased with other purchases - PWP- as a travel kit!)
I'll post some more pictures of the shampoo, conditioner and hair masque later. They are from the same line - Pure Vibrance.

Have you ever wondered what you were supposed to be "when you grew up"? I still wonder that. In fact, have you ever wondered what your talents were, how to find them, magnify them - use them in the way that you were designed to?
No Way?! Me too! So, while reading in my trainer's study guide, I came across an account of this man, Clarence DeMar -"Mr. Marathon". He ran in more than 1000 long distance traces, entered the Boston Marathon 34 times -winning it 7 times and finishing in the top 10, 15 times! This next part is what I want to achieve (somewhat, I'll explain further later on). He also worked nights as a proofreader for a New England newspaper, ran a small farm, taught classes at a reformatory for boys, as well as fitting in time to train and stay in shape for all his cross-country races! Wowee! He stayed fit his whole life until cancer took over and Heavenly Father called him home.
My friend has told me about a boy her daughter knows, he too has focus and energy galore. He made the decision to get out of a dark place and become more of who he was meant to be. He wakes up very early, reads, exercises, volunteers, helps in coaching of other kids sports, has time to travel…he is a meagre high school boy.
Age doesn't seem to be a factor now does it? Nope. Desire. Yes. Fitness and Focus. Absolutely!
This is my plan for growth. You can call it change if you will but I prefer growth. We all face changes every day. What we choose to do with those changes, because we have agency (choice) is where we can grow or atrophy.
Part A
Stay fit. Exercise daily. (Eat healthier) Keep my body and mind strong and active. When we exercise we allow more oxygen to flow throughout our body, making us have more energy, helping us to act as though we have taken "happy pills". Therefore, by exercising I am allowing myself to have more energy to accomplish more things, and the brain power to be more alert, attentive and wiser in what I learn and choose. (And as a woman, less prone to being emotional…? Ha! We shall see, just ask my husband in 3 months ;)

"God knows our gifts. My challenge to you is to pray to know the gifts we have been given, to know how to develop them and to recognize the opportunities to serve others that God provides us."

This is my Part C that will ever be a work in progress until I am called back home. I desire to know my gifts. How to recognize what I may have but have not been fully aware of, how to develop my talents/gifts and how to use them to serve others. I know that my Heavenly Father has a great plan for me, and for you. My hope is that we strive to reach our full potential and be who we were created to be here on this earth to the best of our capabilities. I can't do that slumping on a couch, or laying in bed. (Although there may be times - just don't stay there). I hope to have more energy, better health and to go forward with faith.
Although, since I have now posted my goals to the world, I am sure that the Adversary will try to thwart my efforts in this great cause. However, I will press on.
If you are searching too, I hope together our knees get tough from all our praying and seeking. Here's wishing you all the best as you seek to…
Our home is under construction. Well, the way we eat is. Some days are more yummy than others, and once again, I see that you can't please everyone!
We had this last week and enjoyed it so much we are having it again.
You can find it here and more "clean" recipes that are yummy…
Turkey Burger and Sweet Potato Chips
Turkey Burger and Sweet Potato Chips Ready in 30 minutes • Makes 2 servings
Ingredients
Non-stick olive oil spray
1 medium sweet potato, sliced thinly (1/8″ thick slices)
Sea salt, to taste (optional)
8 oz lean ground turkey
¼ cup salsa, divided
4 slices tomato
2 Romaine lettuce leaves
2 whole-grain, thin burger buns, toasted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray. Spread sweet potato slices on baking sheet and lightly sprinkle with sea salt, if desired. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until cooked through, stirring once halfway through.
Meanwhile, lightly spray a large saute pan with olive oil spray. Mix ground turkey with 2 tablespoons of salsa, divide in half and form each half into a patty. Cook patties over medium-high heat until lightly browned on one side (approximately 4 minutes). Flip burgers over and continue cooking until done, approximately 3 more minutes.
On half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf and 2 tomato slices; place burgers on the opposite bun and top with remaining salsa (1 tablespoon each). Place lettuce and tomato side on top of burger and salsa and serve immediately with the sweet potato chips.
Wondering what a yam is vs a sweet potato? Check out the Globe and Mail. Still need to be sure? Check out about.com, this one has pictures to make it clear at mikes daily apple.
So, there are some discrepancies. The above therefore would be yam chips, not sweet potato chips, correct? However, both are yummy. When you've mastered how to make them perfect would you be willing to share? Just send me a comment at the bottom. ;)
And funny fact:
My kids were whining that they had to try something new, how they hated it, it was yucky. But then something fantastic happened! They tried it and with a mouthful of burger said, "Actually, these are good." Ha! Mommy's everywhere can rejoice. Whoop whoop! :)
