Wow, January flew by! That means I’ll be getting ready to celebrate the month of February. The Wear Red for Women’s Heart month and of course Valentine’s Day, which this year is also Ash Wednesday. Oh, and how can we forget Mardi Gras better known as Fat Tuesday.
Women’s Heart month is very important and we need to take a moment to address this. Get checked out! Women present with different symptoms than men. Wear red and encourage the women in your life to see their doctor!
Well, let’s get ready for Valentine’s Day and talk about your heart in different light. Now that we have eaten all the King’s cake and gotten our ashes, it’s time to get ready for Valentine’s What hair am I in the mood for? Curly is fun and carefree, wavy is sensual, straight is serious. Now good hydrated skin speaks volumes to everyone no matter what age you are. I like to use Bio Oil or you can use your favorite moisturizer. Don’t have one? An old go to trick is to beat egg whites only and then apply to your face for 15 minutes, rinse and you’re ready. This gives you a refreshed look and gives tired skin a restful glow. Now you’re ready to celebrate with anyone!
I have been married for decades so our Valentine’s Day consists of my love bringing a box of candy and supermarket flowers. It’s ok, simple but sweet. I make a nice dinner of roast chicken his favorite potatoes and homemade cake with fresh fruit. Well, grandma would say when you’re dating he’s all about the beautiful roses and when he’s got you the thorns come out. My grandmother had a lot of great sayings; like don’t give or show too much of yourself, leave them wanting more. I think we all want more out of life. To make ourselves better–that’s the reason we get up in the morning. Hopefully this will help you get ready for February! A little heart health, Lenten season and Valentine’s Day.
Always smile, keep it positive, never let negativity get to you in this crazy mixed up world.
