Natural Mood Enhancers

An overall healthy diet is important, but there are certain foods that will affect your mood in a much more positive way and foods that will cause depression over time.

How to Make Raisin Bread

One of my fondest childhood memories is of sitting in our family kitchen eating freshly toasted raisin bread slathered with butter and/or peanut butter and my mother's homemade strawberry jam. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, of course, but my mother still makes the jam, and I make raisin bread to put under it. It shouldn't take more than a few hours from start to finish.

Frugal Breakfast Ideas

I am always trying to cut down my grocery bill and breakfast can be one of the most expensive meals of the day depending on what you serve. Here you will find some inexpensive breakfast ideas that are good and healthy for your family.

I mix a combination of 1 teaspoon baking soda to my daily cleanser as a facial exfoliator. The baking soda smooths rough patches an scrubs away dead skin. I have extremely sensitive skin and have always had a hard time finding facial scrubs that aren't so harsh. This one works great!

Apple Cider Flu Remedy

One of its more common purposes is to stave off a cold or flu. It is said to help cure a sore throat, soothe a stubborn cough, and treat a sinus infection, the usual symptoms that accompany a cold or flu. Using an apple cider vinegar flu remedy is easy, natural, and safe for most individuals.
