Bigelow Green Tea; An Authentic Taste of Japan #AmericasTea #cbias

Most of you know that I was a teacher for eight years, but what you might not know is that I was privileged enough to be able to travel to Japan twice for teaching experiences. The first trip I took was a three week stay with the Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher's Program. It was an amazing experience. I traveled with 200 teachers from the United States to Japan for an educational journey to learn about their culture and academic system. I stayed … [Read more...]

Day to Evening Looks with Avon Make-Up #Avon #cbias

As part of my New Year's Resolutions, I want to work on spending time on myself. This includes not only eating better, exercising more, but also spending time to fix up with make-up! It's truly amazing how putting on a little bit of make-up can make you feel better about yourself instantly. I was completely out of all my make-up, so I decided I needed to purchase an entire set of everything from lipstick to foundation to blush and much … [Read more...]

Moving Your Site From Blogger to Word Press

As you all know, I just recently moved from Blogger to WordPress. I have to say my thoughts the first week using it are very favorable. I love the new look of my site.

If you are afraid to take the leap because of the learning curve, do not worry. It's not that difficult. It's just different. I thought … [Read more...]
