Dear Diary...
 
 
It has now been 10 years since my mom passed away. Every year it just shocks me that it has been so long since I last talked to her! There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you mom, or that I want to call you and tell you what the boys are up to, or call you and cry because something is wrong! You were my best friend, the one I could count on no matter what and you were taken from me way to early!
 
 
There is still no cure for the LAM Disease, I still get the mailings and at the end there is always a section of who has been lost, it pains me to see so many women passing away from a disease that has no cure, no real medicine to treat & that some women live with this disease and are never truly diagnosed!
 
 
CJ misses you terribly, he asks questions about you all the time, he remembers that you gave him your Lamb Chop, that is all he remembers though. He asks what you were like, how you sounded, what you liked too do. I wish you could see him now! I wish you could see all your grandkids, a part of me knows that you are looking and watching them from heaven but it's still not the same!
 
 
Dad lives up here now, I get to see him every day, it's so nice having him close, I wish you both could be here, I know how happy you would be to live so close to the kids. Dad enjoys getting to spend time with CJ he comes over once a week and I cook for him. Austin lives right across from him and Lane is in college!
 
 
11 years and my eyes are still swelling as I write this, 10 years without hearing your voice, without getting a hug, without hearing you say "it will be okay" you have no clue how many times I wish I could hear you say that! I love you mom & miss you today as much as I did at that moment that I got the call saying you were gone.
 
 
Love you mom,
 
Susan

Natural Eyebrow Gel

  You guys know I love natural items, especially for my body. I like doing the research and blogging about it. I am for sure making this. My eyebrows are thinning and not shaping well. I love, love this recipe and it's only 5 ingredients!!!! WHY I LOVE THIS DIY It gives a light, natural tint to eyebrow hairs thanks to cocoa and (for darker hair) activated charcoal. It keeps eyebrow hairs in place all day. It nourishes the hair follicles and promotes hair growth. Great for sparse brows!  It’s suitable for all skin types.  It’s a snap to whip together.  It can be applied with a regular clean eyebrow or mascara brush (called a spoolie).  A little product goes a long way.  It’s only 5 ingredients and it makes 1 small jar.
