The Obsession with Downton Abbey

The whole world seems to have taken note of the Masterpiece series Downton Abbey... it is refreshing to see a good clean series get such great recognition!  DOn't know about you but i stand in disbelief of the overwhelming popularity of Reality shows... i don't understand why people want to watch groups of nasty people living in crazy situations and fighting all the time! I for one find Downton Abbey a beautiful show and it doesn't raise my blood pressure!!!


There are some important, and amusing, beauty lessons to be learned from the show, as discovered by Sharon of Daily Glow:

1. Your complexion always looks better in candlelight.
2. For an instant anti-aging trick, stand next to someone who's at least 30 years your senior.
3. Don't underestimate the power of a red lip.
4. You'll never have a bad hair day if you stick to braids and updos.
5. When in doubt, wear a hat.

Cleanse your home... burn some sage while praying for positive energy and telling bad energy it is not welcomed in your home... Smudging is an old tradition used around the world in various cultures and religions for cleansing.

Blessings to you and your home!

and remember... it's okay to play with your food!
