		<description><![CDATA[The simpler we try to make our lives it seems technology will always have a certain power over us.

Since I am on a mission to simplifying my life and reducing stress this should make for great practice. Hold on for those important posts and enjoy your weekend in the most relaxing way possible. I am starting mine off with a bath and a walk with my boy yorkie.]]></description>

		<title>Save your eggnog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Iron Chef is one addicting show that will make you really hungry. A current episode using eggnog as the secret ingredient demonstrated just how to save that left over eggnog in your refrigerator. My favorite was the Eggnog French toast and bread pudding.

		<title>National Disability Employment Awareness Month</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The month is almost over but as someone who has worked in the mental health field for some time I am aware that October is a National Disability Employment Awareness Month. For any employers out there I can tell you from experience that people with disabilities will work harder for you and take extra care to make sure you are satisfied with their performance. I never liked the word disability so I chose to cut the dis out and only work with the ability. So pay a tribute to the accomplishments the people around you have made and celebrate the equal opportunity we have in this country. ]]></description>

Fall also means that Winter is around the corner and this year the winter blues have hit me before it even started. I have taught myself some tricks in order to keep my mind at the beach while I am cleaning the frost off my car windows. A tan always comes to mind, however sunless tanning can be bad for your skin and when done religiously it can be expensive. This is when tinted moisturizes come in]]></description>

		<title>Let me keep my plastic bag</title>

Wherever I end up working I make sure my plastic garbage bag does not get throw out, however it seems this simple request is served with a crazy look from those around me.  Why is being green so crazy, it should not even be called green but a given and common sense. It takes 10-20 years for a plastic bag to break down, imagine all the homes and big/small offices out there changing every single bag every day. That is a lot of plastic. ]]></description>

It has been two years since I made it my mission to repair my hair after all the coloring and blow drying. Repairing your hair does not have to cost a fortune. There are natural remedies used to treat damaged hair and they are amazing for healthy hair as well.

I have tried different types of lotions, Vaseline and even lip balms. This helps for the most part but does not make the dry skin go completely away. I think the best way to try to get rid of this flaky skin is by exfoliating the skin on the nose. ]]></description>
