How to Control Acne and Rosacea

I write about skin concerns because so many of us are afflicted with various issues. Yet when we bring them to our dermatologists' attention, they are often viewed as aesthetic concerns. What many don't realize is how these skin conditions affect our confidence, mental and physical well-being, and feelings of inadequacy or embarrassment. How did you feel when you had a a major event and your rosacea decided to flare up, or you had an important interview and your skin wasn't in the best shape?

Superior Source Vitamins

Ever since my doctor put me on a regimen of vitamins due to deficiencies, I've been searching for easier and more convenient ways to take my supplements. I came across Superior Source Vitamins and thought you may like the product concept if you are currently taking them.

Superior Source Vitamins are unique in that there are no pills to swallow, and they dissolve under your tongue for fast absorption into the body. Normally, with supplement pills, some of the product is lost in the acid environment of your stomach. If you can't stand swallowing pills like I do, definitely check out their products!

How would you like the chance to win a pack of Superior Source Vitamins? I will be giving away a 6-pack of vitamins for you to try!

Fashion Pick of the Week

Hi fashion lovers! Sorry for the radio silence. Life is catching up to me once again. When it rains, it pours!

Here is one of my all-time favorite items for fall and winter: a sturdy black peacoat. You would be surprised how long it takes me to find a peacoat that fits properly! Peacoats are usually either too frumpy or too big on me, even with the smallest size. When it is too big on the waist and too small in the chest area, it feels as though you are wearing a suffocating wool blanket!

This wool coat from Romwe has gold detailed buttons and pockets for your knick knacks. I take this coat everywhere with me, because it matches everything. The best part is this peacoat is very warm. I would not recommend wearing it on a warm day because you will be sweating bullets!

My fashion pick of the week is this versatile Romwe peacoat with stylish buttons and pockets. What more could you want? If you are a petite woman with curves, Romwe's clothes will fit you well.

How to Reduce Stress and Anger

Hi all! Sorry for the radio silence - it has been a challenging few weeks. I am working on upcoming projects that will be of interest to you, so keep your eye out for future posts!

Managing stress is an ongoing process for me. A long time ago, I chose to manage my stress through natural means in order to avoid heavy medications. Do what is right for your body, whether it is through natural remedies or Western/Eastern medicine.

Here are several ways I manage my stress:

1. Count backwards from 10 to 0, while imagining each number in your head. 
This sounds simple enough, but when you are upset, the last thing you want to do is count. Be persistent and do this every time you are angry or stressed. Do it enough so that it becomes a habit.

2. Emotional Freedom Technique, aka "tapping"
However you feel about this tapping method to reduce stress, this has worked well for me. The idea is to tap certain areas of the body, for example, the side of the hand or under the nose, when you feel stressed. This helps your body re-program its response to stress.

3. Meditation
When I reach a point where my stress feels out of control, I close my eyes, inhale deep breaths via diaphragmatic breathing (inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth), and let my wind wander. I've fallen asleep on many occasions and wake up feeling refreshed.

Remember that it takes at least 19 days to break a habit. If you react to stress by overeating, that can be overcome if you are willing to spend at least three weeks to change that habit.


I hope these tips will help you in your journey towards reducing anger and stress!

Zeta Touch Stone Review

I am a firm believer in naturally healing physical ailments, to the extent that we are able to do so without the use of medications. In my search for pain relief for my wrists, I came across a unique product concept known as a Zeta touch stone.
