Loving: Fashion
As I always say, bigger is almost always better, especially when it comes to fashion accessories like jewelry.
Don’t overdo it, but one large statement piece can make an outfit… a fun pair of big earrings or a chunky bracelet can make the most boring of outfits look hip and fun.
Age can only limit you if you allow it. You can be 50 & fashionable!
Enjoy, you are 50, Fabulous & Finally Free!

Doctor on Demand is a service that everyone should know about. They take some insurance plans but even for those of us without insurance, the fee is only $75. During this cold and flu season it is a lot easier to do a video visit with one of the physicians from DOD than to have to trek out for a much more costly visit to an urgent care or the ER. The way the company describes the video visits is, “Doctors use two main skills to diagnose most common medical conditions, looking and listening. Through Doctor on Demand, each provider will determine if a focused or more comprehensive medical history needs to be performed. Providers may recommend that you see a physician in person if he or she feels that is in your best interest.” The convenience of being able to see a doctor from the comfort of your own home cannot be underestimated, especially when you’re not feeling well.
I recently had a UTI while out of town and was able to get online and talk to a physician within 30 minutes; I had antibiotics within an hour and was feeling better the next morning. So much better than waiting hours in the ER!
Quick Tip: Take the time to download the app and sign up for free ahead of time. There is nothing worse than filling out medical history forms when you are feeling terrible. (https://patient.doctorondemand.com/register)

Natural Teeth Whitening Charcoal
Who doesn’t want bright white teeth?
I am not very patient when it comes to teeth whitening. There are various options out there that are not only expensive and inconvenient, but the strips and messy trays left my teeth really sensitive.
Charcoal has become a main ingredient in many useful items as of late, so when I saw this whitening powder, although I was skeptical, I gave it a try. This stuff really worked for me…
There are many options out there and I haven’t researched what all of the various whiteners say they can do, but I do have a few really important words of advice…
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPENING THE CONTAINER!
Use a designated toothbrush to be used only with the charcoal, as your toothbrush will never recover!
Dampen the toothbrush and gently touch it to the powder CAREFULLY, immediately putting the lid back on!
Brush your teeth in the shower or over a sink in clothes that you do not care about staining, because I am not sure how easily the splatter will come out of a white t-shirt or a white towel.
Be sure to try your best to contain the charcoal to INSIDE your mouth and rinse the sink immediately after finishing. I am not sure if it will stain, but that is not a risk I was willing to take.
I have read to only use the charcoal once a week, but I am not a dentist and would ask yours what he would recommend for you.
Available at many online sites.
Here is to white teeth naturally!
