Hi Everyone,

This is my very first blog- yes I am way behind in the times here- tucked away in my house working on tons of projects. I just finished my first book- "Beauty By God, Inside-Out Secrets for Every Woman" published by Regal and to be released January 2009 YEA!!!

I had such a crazy week- we are filming a DVD to go along with the book and it's exciting- I got to interview Jordan Rubin (The Makers Diet) a couple of days ago for the DVD, he did so well and he is so kind and knowledgeable- he is in the middle of a tour with his latest release "Perfect Weight America"- it's a great book-

Then yesterday I had my former boss Pat Williams (Senior VP Orlando Magic, Author, Speaker) no I was not a Orlando Magic cheerleader- I was the nanny, before I was married.

It was so cool filming in the Orlando Magic studio's- the camera's the lights, the jersey's for the back ground- a fun experience for sure!

Some other amazing people who are in the DVD are; Teresa Tapp (seen in Dr. Perricone's book) she is a fitness guru- check her out at T-Tapp, Tamara Lowe, Mandisa, Nicole C. Mullen, Tammy Trent and a few other surprises- basically it is a behind the scenes of my book Beauty by God- where you will see the interviews come to life as well as;

• Instructional Makeup Tips



• How to achieve a Salon blow dry, step by step



• The Pampered Pantry Live,



• turn your kitchen into a spa



• Get the perfect shape brow



• Skin Care Secrets Revealed!



• Teresa Tapp shows effective cutting edge exercises.



• Simple steps to a non-toxic home
  

This DVD will be ready July 13Th!!! I can't believe it will actually be done -

Life will be different tomorrow as my kids get out of school- and I will be going back to homeschooling in August- they have been in a private school for the last six months while I was finishing up my book- I felt I was not giving them my all and new it was the best thing for the boys- (they are 6 & 9)- Plus I am in school too- earning my degree as a Master Herbalist (I already have a certificates in Herbal study) and a PhD in Natural Medicine somewhere in 2011- a way to go but I am moving along snail steady...

Oh, before I forget let me leave you with some tips how to stay beautiful with the HOT summer days ahead-

Find a no-melt foundation like Jane Iredale pressed mineral foundation- it's great really- I use it and love it- a less expensive one- Physician formula- the organic one, also 100percentpure.com has vegan makeup made out of fruit and veggies- really they do and its great- she is also on QVC-

Choose a chemical free sun screen like Burt's Bees or Alba Botanica Organic Lavender Sunscreen.

Use Frownies for wrinkles- they do work- and they are way cheaper than Botox.

Start taking organic alfalfa supplements- one of the best anti-agers!

Eat more cucumbers- try some Cucumber bruschetta, combine 1 whole avocado chopped, 1tbs cilantro (fresh), 1tbs diced red onion (or vidalia yellow), 1tbs fresh lime juice and olive oil or flax seed oil- season with celtic sea salt, pepper and garlic powder.Combine mixture on a diagonally sliced seedless English cucumber and serve with a sprig of parsley- cool, refreshing and tastefully healthy- enjoy!!!

That's it for now- hope you like my first blog:)
