Sweet Potatoes Are For More Than Holidays!
I love sweet potatoes!! I know some people want a baked sweet potato drenched in butter…or a sweet potato casserole loaded with butter, brown sugar and marshmallows! And I agree—those are YUMMY!

Need Some Help With Your Hair?
Do you wish you had the silky, shiny hair you had as a child? Think about all the things we do to our hair—chemical processing (color, highlights, lowlights, permanents, 
straighteners) –styling tools (hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons)—the way we style our hair (ponytails, braiding, weaves and extensions). And what about sun? All of these can cause damage to our hair.
These processes can result in damage such as split ends, dull, lackluster, frizzy hair. What can we do? We want the latest styles, but we do not want to wind up with damaged hair.
One important thing is to regularly have your hair trimmed—even if you are in the process of growing it out!! Get rid of those split ends and your hair will automatically look better. Don’t over-do the chemical processes and remember not to pull your hair tightly into braids or ponytails—this causes breakage.
There Are Good Fats?
You want me to eat FATS? Really? In all my years of dieting, I thought I was to avoid fats in order to lose weight? I thought I had to avoid fats to protect my heart and keep my cholesterol down. And now you want me to eat fats?
From my research, the key is knowing which fats are good for us. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2005 Dietary Guidelines tell us to get around 10% of our daily calories from fats. The HEALTHY FATS- unsaturated fats which include polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fats. Both mono- and polyunsaturated fats. Healthy fats are not packaged processed foods, fried foods, cakes, cookies, etc. which contain saturated or trans fats
So what are some of these Healthy Fats?
