I wanted to start sharing some of my favorite blogs with you on a weekly basis. It's likely that I spend way too much time on the Internet these days, but I can't stop exploring for the best women's blogs out there. This week's favorite is my friend Suzanne's blog, Without Dash.

I was recently contacted by a rep from Lather, Inc., a natural beauty company based in Pasadena, California. She shared the fact that Lather was starting a new charitable campaign with the sale of The Planting Seeds Kit. Lather is raising money for the National Headache Foundation with each sale of the lavender gift package.

Have you ever just wanted to take a break from the man in your life? Picture it - a whole day (or year) without him. Men-on-pause...

Your cruising along on the highway; suddenly, you realize that you left your laptop on the kitchen table. "You, dumb ass!" slips from your lips and you veer off at the next exit to retrieve the Power Point presentation that would surely land you favor (even a promotion) at work.

It occurred to me that we may be damaging one of the most precious things we have...our eyes. With daily use of eye shadow, mascara, liner, and eye makeup removers, are we polluting our eyes with substances that could be stripping away our eyesight?

Have you ever been lost in a strange city or even in your own town? It happens; and when it does, it can be terrifying. You're lucky if someone nice is available to help you find your way. I remember being lost in a not-so-nice part of town years ago - before cell phones.

Last week I had green beans for an evening snack; last night I had Brussels sprouts. I chuckled as I thought about a typical evening snack in the 80’s and 90’s - a bowl of ice cream, sometimes with various incredibly rich toppings.

During this financial hardship that most of us have been affected by, I've come to know that thrifty beauty is the new thing (or the necessity). Though I'm no cosmetic snob, I do occasionally enjoy a shopping trip to major department store beauty departments and afternoons at the spa.

There is a secret I want to share with you. I learned this exercise about 2 years ago when I was working on healing from terrible chronic headaches.

We haven't talked much (if at all) about oral health on WLL, but I was recently introduced to a new product that is considered a breakthrough in oral care. A marketing rep for Oragenics Inc. sent me some free samples of Evora Plus (The first Probiotics for Complete Oral Care).

If you ladies get a chance, please stop by my friend's blog and check out a recipe for a pumpkin facial to die for. You can catch it and many other beauty tips at A Mom in Red High Heels.

When things change in our lives (purposely or not), we have two choices; we can refuse to accept the circumstances and fight them, or we can go with the proverbial flow. Of course, different events cause varying reactions. Not to mention personality can play a role in emotions and actions.

Please check out my article at Moms to Work. The topic is writing a great cover letter. While you're there, please read some of her other tips for working moms and those who want to re-enter the job market after being home with babies. This transition can be difficult to say the least. We need all the help we can get. Be well-be beautiful.

Women's Life Link would like to introduce Heather Smith, owner of Beautiful Soaps. As with all of our "Beautiful Women", Heather is a wonderful example of someone who is inspiring and talented.

There is an often neglected element of fitness of which many people are unaware. It is the amazing benefits of stretching. I am grateful to my former training as a dancer where I learned this discipline.
