Embracing Natural Beauty
When it comes to my beauty routine I like to keep it simple, I believe that less in more and soon you will too! We are constantly being discouraged by the media to going out without makeup on. Celebrities are ridiculed relentlessly for this. As photos emphasizing their so-called “imperfections,” are plastered all over the front covers of nearly every magazine. These media outlets are also the largest endorsers for these expensive beauty products. If we stopped using these products, then they would not make money. In order to keep sales on target, they are ruthlessly objectifying us as women and shaping our minds to suit their greed. It is truly disturbing to think about the control that the media has over society and one’s thoughts. Have you ever stopped to think about how many things you are influenced by on a daily basis? How much does the media impact your life and personal decisions?

Want to Have a Spiritual Awakening?
Dangers of Fluoride I am having trouble staying focused this morning. My thoughts seem to have a life of their own, I feel a little scattered and unable to concentrate, and it may be due to years of fluoride exposure. Even if this day’s "scatteredness" is just due to the rain, I have most certainly been impacted by the fluoride that has been in my drinking water and in my toothpaste since I was a little girl.

Favorite Makeup Products by Ulta Beauty
I am a budget shopper, but also a lover of beauty products. I am always looking for ways to save money, but still, have high-quality products that I enjoy using and make me look great. As a long time fan of Ulta, I have tried many of their store brand products over the years. I find that many of their store brand items are great quality and have a lower price tag than higher end brands. Also, Ulta often has sales on their store brand items, which is a great time to stock up and save even more cash. Ulta often runs sales where you can buy two, get two free of their store brand items.

Living a Plant Based Lifestyle
What IS a Plant Based Lifestyle? Many of the leading nutritional ‘experts’ are now using the term “Plant Based Lifestyle” to define a nutritional way of eating and living. They are migrating away from the term “Vegan” because of the differentiation in nutritional focus. While vegans avoid animal products and foods and advocate for animal rights, a Plant Based Focus is usually concerned with the Health & Wellness of the individual.

Dinner At Eight
For some time now almost all of the food that we buy in grocery stores has been altered is some way or another. In other words, genetically altered or as they say GMO is the term used today. I for one don't relish the idea of eating genetically altered or modified food of any sort. But, today with a company called Monsanto having a monopoly of seed production the food we eat already has been genetically modified in some way or another. Take for instance Soy. What Monsanto has done with soy beans has caused many people to think twice about what they are eating. In most cases what we are eating today is a major contributor to a whole slew of ailments and diseases. The problem today stems form the fact that soy is found in so many food products and is the most common genetically modified organism in all of our food supply. It has been altered to withstand the applications of herbicides. Just imagine we are eating foods with traces of Roundup already infested in the soy products in our food. Talk about killing the Goose that laid the golden egg. Well people, we are the geese that are laying the golden eggs in our whole economy with our consumer spending. And when we die off who is left to buy products?

Cancer Cured
Cancer is a most malignant scourge. But, it is the research to find a cure that continues in fleecing the American public out of billions of dollars every year. For no apparent reason other than greed by the pharmaceutical industry, our elected officials and insurance companies the American public continues to be deceived by the media, much of the medical community and the FDA into thinking that the only way to come up with a cancer cure is to donate more money into it's research. It is this type of merry-go-round by the media that is praying on the public's gullibility with all those obtrusive advertisements we see practically every few minutes on TV begging for more money. It is your hard earned dollars that continually keeps this false pretense that cancer research to be successful only depends on gaining more cash. This type of ploy to dupe the public into thinking that only more cash funneled in cancer research will bring about a cure, when in fact they know all along these billions of dollars donated just keeps the advertisers seeking more funds for research. The ever elusive cure continues to elude those researchers just so the money keeps flowing in. Then again maybe there really is a magic pill out there? But, it just maybe hidden behind a veil of secrecy just so the money train keeps right on rolling along.

Global Famine
The full extent of global hunger in the world today. The world is facing one of it's greatest challenges. Global Famine is going to be a reality. Some parts of the world are already facing acute food and water shortages. Even here in the United States a growing number of people face horrific starvation and poverty everyday. A major catastrophe is going to happen if we continue on this destructive path of denial and apathy.
