Welcome

Welcome! We're 3 generations of women who said farewell to sunny Southern California and waved 'hi y'all' to sultry South Carolina. We love helping other women in need. I'm not saying you are needy! But don't you love getting tips from women who know something more than you in specific areas?

My daughter, Jacquie, is a certified nutritionist and I'm learning some easy steps to becoming healthier as the days--and years--go by. She owns and works at Life Wellness Center in Lexington, SC with her husband of 25 years, Dr. Thomas Blake.

My 22-year-old granddaughter, Destiny, is a make-up artist with MAC Cosmetics in Columbia, SC. She is teaching me simple ways to add a little glitter to my life ... and don't we all need some glitter now and then? She loves her Zumba classes and playing with her two labs.

And me? Well, through the years--sixty-eight at this writing--I've gleaned from some marvelous mentors and learned from the hard knocks of life how to fulfill the dreams that God has placed in me. I'm a writer, and I recently published my first novel, Lady and the Sea, based on my life story.

Jacquie talks ... to the Natural Woman in You

Mom's healthy glow since she's started her morning 'smoothie'

Lets begin March Madness with a positive attitude.  Many of us work outside the home.  Our schedules are packed with family activities that can take a lot of energy, so the best way to begin each morning is with a healthy smoothie.  It took Mom months to begin this practice, but once I gave her the NutriBullet for Christmas, she realized how fast and easy it was.

I'll be talking about smoothies in my next blog, so stay tuned.


I'm here to answer questions from exercise to healthy eating, from breaking bad habits to creating good ones.


Tip:  Looking for a natural sleep-inducer? 
Eat a handful of Raw walnuts before bed to boost fiber, essential oils, & tryptophan.  

May March give you Mild days and Mellow nights.


Health and Blessings!
