I was first introduced to Boscia when my mother-in-law, who works at Sephora, handed off a sample of the Willow Bark Breakout Treatment. It’s a lightweight gel that goes on clear — not heavy or sticky like some other acne treatments. I wasn’t familiar with the company so I looked it up and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Boscia products are preservative free and botanically based. They also rate a low 2-4 on the Skin Deep Database.
I tried out this avocado-based chocolate mousse recipe tonight when a vegan friend came over for dinner. I got the idea from The Dr. Oz Show, but his version used egg whites. After searching online for several minutes, I was starting to think I wouldn’t be able to find something that was both egg-free and soy-free. Just when I was about to give in and try a tofu-based recipe, I found this one from the Autonomie Project. It’s rich, creamy, and — with just four ingredients — totally easy to make.
Not surprisingly, life hasn’t really slowed down very much so far this year. Though our home improvement efforts have been relegated to an occasional weekend project, I am busy as ever with new creative endeavors. A few weeks ago, I decided it was time to give kareneisenbraun.com an overhaul. I’m tired of the design and wanted something with more conventional navigation. I also wanted to shift the focus of the site more towards health and wellness, since that is currently the focus of my writing.
In The Secret, Rhonda Byrne outlines three basic steps to the law of attraction: Ask, believe, and receive. Sounds pretty simple. First, you have to ask the Universe for what you want. You only have to ask once. She equates the practice to placing an order from the all-encompassing catalog of the Universe. Once you place an order, you don’t have to place it again.
