I know it has been a while since I have been on here. February has been a full month with visits to my son's specialists in Dallas, two birthdays and lots of pain for my sweet boy.  Some good things are happening along the way. For some time now our family has been trying to clean up out eating. We are eating less and less processed food and heavy meats, while we increased seafood, and fresh fruits and vegetables. You can read about the beginning of this journey here  Simple Does Not Mean Easy I know it's basic stuff and we are still striving. Some family members struggle more than others.

I am hitting that certain age where fighting the onset of aging in my skin is vital.  I don't wear much make-up, but I have invested in all kinds of skin care products in my life.

I have always been a DIY-er.  The best part is having control of what goes into it, and it saves so much money!  WARNING! If you have sensitive skin this can cause redness and burning.

Also, the Citric acid has a short shelf life once it is mixed with any liquid. So a  small batch is best. It is so easy you won't mind making it every week or two. Combine: 1 tsp Vegetable Glycerin  1 tsp wate
