Taking care of your skin includes your beautiful hands.

A few months ago, I had a real scare. I found myself at the Dermatologist office because the skin on my hands and legs had burns. Clearly, I was allergic to some thing I was applying to my skin or a food I was eating. My beautiful legs and hands were damaged. The first thing my doctor asked was if I used sunscreen. I do but only on my neck and face. She was disappointed to hear that I did not care for my hands and legs the same way as my face and neck. In that moment, I realized that taking care of my health included my skin as well. I left the doctors office with a list of things I needed to do and a prescription for ointments. I have to admit, I cried all the way to the pharmacist because I never saw my skin so fragile as that day.  The next day, I went looking for gloves that would cover the burns on my hands. I went to several stores but found nothing I could really use everyday. I did find sweaters with attached finger-less gloves.  It worked for a little while but I really needed something detached for when I went to get my nails done or driving. I was desperate to find something that would fit my hands. 
Voila, I was offered to test ManiGlovz. Finger-less gloves that protect your hands from the UV and LED Rays. I felt so relieved that I finally had something I could use to protect my hands while I was going through this horrible medical problem. 

ManiGlovz come in many colors and styles. They are easy to carry in your purse. The fabric is soft and it feels cool on your skin. Reading the story that a dermatologist created  the gloves to protect the hands was comforting news for me. These gloves made me feel a little better about myself because it covered the damaged skin on my hands. 
The bonus to wearing the gloves was that friends and co-workers thought I was being fashion forward. I received many compliments on them. It really helped to bring my spirits up. 

This experience has opened my eyes to better caring my skin. I will from now on make every effort to use ManiGloves to protect my hands from harmful elements.

I really recommend that you consider taking care of your skin with more love and kindness. You are worth having excellent skin.

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area.  This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement.  She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me.  Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test."  Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this:  Dea

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday.  I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer.  The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard.  I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".
