147,148/365 Self care Sunday, Making Monday.

This Sunday I decided to do a bit of self care in the form of this face mask.  I think it's so important to take care of both our mental and physical health.  And it also feels good to do something a little special for yourself.

This Monday I did my usual baking.  I decided to give a new recipe a try it's called Chocolate Prune Brownies.  I have to say it wasn't quite as sweet as I usually like but that's not such a bad thing.  It was very moist and was quick and easy. I have included a link just in case you might like to try it for yourself.  

How has was your weekend?

81/365 Health

My mother in law asked me for ideas one year of what I might like for a gift.  One of my favourite magazines is Nature and Health and so she bought me a subscription.  What is lovely about this gift is each time a get an issue in the mail I think of her, it's the gift that keeps on giving.  It was interesting that this should come in the mail a day after I took myself off to see the dermatologist to get my regular skin check up.  My father had a melanoma when he was in his mid thirties and with my moley skin, it is extra important for me to get it checked.  I had two moles that my dermatologist wanted to take off, one still needs a little more attention so I will be off to my plastic surgeon specialist to get it removed.  I was very sad to have them removed as I am very careful to stay out of the sun but very happy to now have them removed.  It was a nice reminder for me to never to put off these types of appointments, my health is my wealth.
