LEARNING TO LET GO
Pin5Share60Tweet65 SharesBy Dara Pena A story of love, loss and healing through the eyes of my child. It was hard not to look away from his golden, sunshine eyes contrasting against his midnight fur. They say only dogs can really look into your eyes, but I disagree. My feline could gaze into my soul and know exactly what I was thinking. Even though I couldn’t talk to him and receive an answer, we still had a connection. It wasn’t my friends, my teachers or my parents, but it was him who taught me how to forgive. Opening my eyes to a caliginous kitten on Christmas morning was a day I…

How I Stopped Fever Blisters From Ruining My Life
Pin17Share6Tweet23 SharesAnd here is my story. Like most teenage girls I was extremely focused on my appearance. I was a pageant girl chasing the dream. There were proms, formals, and homecomings; you know the teenage life. There was one little thing that could ruin it all, a slight tingle near my lip. This tingle was a guarantee the next week would be miserable. Be honest, when you see a person with a festering, gaping sore on their mouth, several terrible adjectives come to mind: nasty, infectious, and promiscuous. How embarrassing! For whatever reason, mine seemed to spread and move towards my nose and down my chin. On top of this,…

The Sister Tales
Pin2ShareTweet2 SharesSometimes things aren’t exactly as they seem. Growing up alongside two other girls and my mother certainly felt like a full house. In our rather small middle-class home, a throwdown was instigated by one of us every morning. Feminine products, hot rollers, lipstick, and rapid sequential showers filled our mornings and led to some serious girl fights. Most of the time we ran around the house like four wild gypsies. Our faithful leader, my mother, resembled more of an older sister. She was admittedly at times immature. I am the oldest girl, the bossiest and maybe the most selfish. My two younger sisters had very contrasting personalities. The middle…

A Must-Have Trick For Shaving
Pin6Share3Tweet9 SharesRemember when bathing felt luxurious? It was more than a necessity. Time was not an issue. No one interrupted you while bubbles and delicious soaps filled your warm bath. Kids weren’t banging on the bathroom door and husbands weren’t coming in and out for poop breaks. Times have changed ladies. Nowadays, baths and showers are something we just squeeze in when we can. High hopes of bath bombs and essential oils turn into simple insignificant showers. Shaving my legs is the part that I personally dread. Especially when I realize I’m fresh out of shaving cream. Then I spend more time searching for a decent razor than I do…

Anew Power Serum Review
PinShareTweet0 SharesWell, Avon did it again. This incredible product surprised me with some amazing results. Here is my Avon Anew Power Serum review!

A really good serum will brighten and protect the skin. They are lightweight and full of antioxidants that brighten and protect the skin. If you have extremely oily skin, you may find a serum is perfect for your complexion. What Can…
