I’m not talking about getting a golden glow here. I’m talking about using pre-made cookie and cake mixes to fake that homemade baked goodness. I turn to these store bought mixes because: a) Finding the time to bake from scratch with a 6 month old baby is like trying to find a Walmart on Rodeo Drive; b) The culinary gods frown upon my made-from-scratch creations.

Within each of us lies the ingredient to heal wounds, prevent sickness and enhance beauty. So say the Uropathy advocates. Urine therapy, also known as Uropathy or Urotherapy is the ancient practice of applying one’s own urine topically, or drinking it to improve health. This practice has been around for thousands of years in both Eastern and Western circles and is well-known amongst modern-day holistic or natural health practitioners. Commemorate your child’s hand or foot prints (or your pet’s paws) with this fun and easy play dough craft. While some people only display ornaments at Christmas, I keep these cute keepsakes out all year round. These make great gifts for grandma and grandpa! A few days ago my husband and I went on a date to the opera. When the show was finished, we found that someone had inserted a business card onto the windshield of our car. It said in bold letters: Date a Model. Thinking it was a sleazy company that offered hot models for hire, we checked out their website just for fun in hopes of scoping out some attractive men and women. We were tricked! As a child I loved colouring books, drawing and making crafts. Naturally, this interest in art led to my enrolment in university art classes. Sadly years of arts and crafts time did not prepare me for the drudgery discipline required of university-level art classes. While actually trying to make art, I came to appreciate more the works of others (and sadly realized my shortcomings in the artistic department). A few art history classes put into perspective the enormity of works by Michelangelo, Da Vinci and modern artists like Jackson Pollock. So while the art gods failed to bless me with artistic genius, I still appreciate art and enjoy drawing and painting. For those of you who say things like, “What’s the purpose of this piece?” and “I don’t understand art” I can relate. Even after all of those art history classes, there is still some art that baffles me. But with an open mind and a bit of art history knowledge there is an artist or art movement out there for everyone. |
