As an herbalist I get asked, ”What can I take naturally for my skin?” Well, the answer to this question is as varied as the foods we eat. Yet, if you take a real good look at your skin, the answer may be written all over your face.
What are the issues you want to address with your skin? Once you determine what is important to you, then you will be able to better address the issues. Most women are concerned about pre-mature aging and the effects on the skin.
I love to tell women about salad. Salad? You ask. Yes, Salad! Vegetable and fruit salads make for delicious eating and younger looking skin. Not for the obvious reasons, yet, because of vitamin A. Vitamin A is found in bright yellow and orange fruits such as cantaloupe, pink grapefruit, and apricots. Also, in vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and winter squash. Other sources of beta-carotene include broccoli, spinach, and most dark green, leafy vegetables. The more intense the color of a fruit or vegetable, the higher the beta-carotene content, which promotes beautiful, youthful skin. Vegetable sources of beta-carotene are fat-and cholesterol-free. So, eat your wrinkles away with Vitamin A, Ladies!!! Your skin will thank you for it!!

Ever noticed how whatever is going on in our life seems to show on our face? If we're stressed, we can expect acne and dark circles under our eyes. If we're dehydrated, our skin looks dry and flaky. If we're sick, our face appears pale. Eat or drink too much and we wake up with puffy skin. But get a stretch of feeling great, exercising, eating right, and we positively glow with health.
Well, there's a reason for that. Our skin is our body's largest organ-an average of 21 square feet, to be exact. Whatever goes on in the inside shows up on the outside.
Take smoking, for instance. Studies find that smoking prematurely ages skin by disrupting your body's natural process of breaking down old skin and replacing it with fresh skin. Smoking also triples your risk of squamous cell skin cancer (not to mention numerous other cancers).
Stress can also negatively affect your face (and the rest of the body). But the opposite is also true. What you eat and how you live your life can lead to smoother, healthier skin. Overall, your best bet for your skin is also what's best for overall health: a low-fat, high-fiber diet filled with fruits, vegetables and whole grains, plenty of water, regular exercise and enough sleep every night (not just on weekends). More specifically, here's what the science shows:

It's Chick Days! For those that live (or want to take a drive) to the country you will see that at this time of year many farm and garden stores are having their annual 'Chick Days'. So, I thought it would be fun to post a little something about our own experience getting chicks and some fun facts about eggs!
Last year our family decided it was finally time to get chickens. Up until then I was perfectly happy getting our fresh eggs from the neighbor down the road. But, my kids thought it would be fun to have our own chickens and get our own eggs and experience the joy of raising baby chicks. You see, they've been bugging me for about 2 years and I kept putting them off, then I finally gave in...on one condition - the chickens that we get had to be 'pretty' chickens. I didn't want the common red or white ones that I saw so many people have. I wanted fun, different colored, beautiful chickens (was there such a thing?).
So with that came the research. Poultry magazines, internet, chicken books, ( I even went to a 'chicken class' that our local 4-H extension office was having). I looked through many pages trying to decide what type, or breed, we should get. This chicken business was all new to me and I wanted to do it right!
