Like there are 7 days in a week, given diverse weather conditions across the US and other parts of the world, it’s important to take care of your skin!

Get into the Holiday DIY Spirit. Project #2: Make a Wreath–from #Volvo!
As I said in the post for project #1, I am not being compensated for this. I just happen to love the gracious sharing and family-time these DIY projects make. However in light of the FTC, here’s my comments.
While I don’t need to do any disclaimer since I am not being compensated for anything in this post or the others in this series, this is a TERRIFIC series of videos courtesy of VOLVO who want you to have a great holiday season. My compensation is hopefully hearing from any and all of you who do even one of these projects. I would love to see photos either on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or my blog.

Plug Into “Pushing Upward” fiction of an LA Girl Using the IChing by Andrea Adler!
I get lots of books to read and it’s rare the book that captures my attention to warrant me to tote the book to various appointments or start skipping TV and phone calls so I can read the book. I found one recently that I became so enamoured with that I finished it in two weeks! I love to read and I switch back and forth between books often. Not so with the book “Pushing Forward” by Andrea Adler!
