Did you know?

Did you know that too much stress, lack of sleep (which reminds me, it's getting late), hormonal changes and age can affect your brain function and also cause a bit of memory loss?  Emotional stress diminishes blood flow to the brain and stimulates production or the hormone cortisol, which is toxic to nerve cells in high quantities. Als, when plaque narrows the blood vessels, blood flow to the brain is reduced.

So in order to ensure a vibrant and sharp memory you need a balanced diet rich in amino acids, omega oils, minerals and vitamins.

You should eat :
Whole grain foods like brown rice, oatmeal, lentils, whole beans,
Vegetables, especially bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, yams and squash.
Fish, especially salmon, tuna, halibut, trout, mackerel and sardines.
Almond oil, fish oil, flaxseed oil, olive oil and sesame oil.
Nuts, seeds and fruit like walnuts, pine nuts, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried apricots and dried bllueberries.
Green tea, which is packed with polyphenols and antioxidants.
And of course having a vibrant social life is sure to improve your life and your memory!

Vintage style brass bird and hammered heart coral dangle earrings


I made these earrings using a tiny brass bird, a gold plated hammered heart with a bronze swarovski crystal briolette hanging in it's center and coral beads. Simple and sweet these earrings measure 1.5" long and hang from vermeil twisted earring hooks.

Good morning everyone!


I woke up this morning to a wonderful beautiful site. My favorite italian rose porcelain espresso coffee pot and of course strawberries! It's their season! So sad I missed the strawberry festival last week. I would go for some coffee right now! have a nice day!

Spring summer fruit salad recipe





You are not such a craver of fruits so instead of eating them on their own you'd be rather tempted to try them if they were served in a delicious bowl?
Then try this practical mouthwatering fruit salad consisting of various kinds of fruits, served in their own juices and you will surely be asking for more. A great way to take in all those vitamins and give your body a spring cleaning. It's very simple to prepare.
Especially now that the summer season has finally arrived you will easily find a variety of fruits to use.
In this recipe I peeled and sliced into cubelike pieces strawberries, kiwi, bananas, apples, pears and squeezed in the juice of one orange and lemon. Finally I added the prefered amount of sugar and tossed and there you have it! A delicious fruit salad. The kids will go nuts with this. Perfect for a summer luncheon. They even make a beautiful presentation for special occasions like birthdays, baby showers and so much more.
You can add any other fruits you like or even a dash of brandy for adults.
