In order to recover from all of my website and Wifi network woes, I’ve been baking. And lately, I’ve been baking the best ginger snap cookies I’ve ever had. They are chewy in the centers and crispy on the edges. How perfect is that? Another benefit to this recipe is that you may already have …

In case any of you are interested in the Pura4 Diffuser system, I discovered something about it the hard way. Thus, I want to mention it. The Pura4 Diffuser was very easy for me to set up via the phone app. I scheduled it to diffuse from 11:30-midnight every night. It worked very well from …
asthetik Renewal Night Moisturizer In July or August, I was sent asthetik Renewal Night Moisturizer to review. After trying it on a summer night, I decided that the moisturizer was too heavy for the summer heat. I told that to the PR person who sent it, and I am sure she was disappointed that I …
