Facebook Makes Old Friends Become New Again

This post is dedicated to my love for Facebook right now. I have been all over the social media circuit, Myspace, Twitter, Ning Groups and most recently Facebook. Mainly to connect with folks who are entrepreneurs, craft makers or just to keep in contact with family.

One day out of the blue sky, I went on a search to see if any of my classmates from High School had Facebook pages. Being that it has only been a couple of years since I was in High School (smile), I could not remember any of the names of people I went to school with the exception of one person. That person will remain anonymous as I am sure they do not want to be published on my blog. When I did a search on that individual, sure enough they had a page and so did some 30 to 40 other people that went to my school with me.

Needless to say, November and December has been a time of getting reacquainted with my classmates from Edward R. Murrow HS class of 19xx (I will keep the year a secret folks, don't want to give away how young we are :) Although I am still upset that I missed the September 2008 reunion. But I am looking forward to the upcoming reunions.

Everyone seems to have aged or shall I say matured gracefully. We have exchanged pictures and fond memories of when we were in school. Most of us have agreed that our best school years were in High School. After that real life set in.

So this blog post is dedicated to all the old friends who have become my "New" friends due to Facebook. There is no greater time than the present to reach out and share a little love to someone you have not seen in awhile. They may really need it and you would be blessed by it.

What about you? Have you gotten in contact with an old friend through a social media group or otherwise? Have you thought about getting in contact with folks you have not spoken with in 5, 10, 20 even 30 years?

Deep South Bath Co - Sage & Grapefruit Prod. Review

I was wandering through my etsy favorite sellers and decided to buy some Soap from Deep South Bath Co. For those that know me, I love anything citrus but the smell of Sage is something new to me. So I decided to live on the "wild" side and order a bar.

Well Ms Letrah Avery of Deep South Bath Co. blessed me in a special way. Since I ordered the last bar of soap, she decided to throw in another one since it was a seasonal item. How special is that!

Back to the soap, it did not disappoint. Some citrus soaps can be drying to the skin, but I did not have to apply moisturizer after using this soap. I even tried it on my oily/combo skin. It did not dry out my face but took care of the oily skin where it needed to. Again, the lather was abundant and flowing just like I like it. :)

This soap may be available next Summer, but check out the other soaps available from Deep South Bath Co

Sudstress - Soap Reviews

Katherine Wiranowski, is the soapmaker behind Sudstress. She is the creator of the soaps pictured to the left. The first one is called Sunshine and the name is true to form. This is the citrus soap you want to use to wake you up in the morning. Everytime I used it, I had to smile because you are engulfed in the most sensual and happy blend of citrus smells.

The second soap is called Sugared Lemon. All I can say is WOW. This soap reminds me of the candy Lemon Heads I used to eat as a child. Here is the review from my hubby in regards to this soap, "tell your friend that this is one of the best soaps (next to mines of course (smile)) I have ever used. You could feel the love that went into making this soap" He is right of course. Kat definitely put her all into that soap and I will definitely have to buy more of it from her. Also the suds are ridiculous. I usually have to re-lather with some soaps. But you never have to with Sugared Lemon.

Get you some soap from the Sudstress, tell her Diana sent you. :)

Rinse Bath & Body Co - Almond & Honey Soap

This is the first of three reviews for Rinse Bath & Body Co soaps.
My hubby and I have been using this Almond & Honey Soap this week. These are my hubby's exact words after using the product, "I love this soap, the smell and everything. You can tell she but her love into that soap". OK I am jealous because he was not talking about one of my products. But I have to agree with him on this. This soap smells exact like the old Yardley Almond soaps my Grandmother used to let us take a bath with. The honey smell with the almond make me close my eyes and think of my childhood. This is definitely one to pick up from Rinse Bath & Body Co.

Back 2 Work

Just to let you all know that I have finally found a job. I will be taking Worker's Compensation and Insurance claims for companies in the United States and Canada. So my days of being in front of the computer answering emails and being on Twitter, Facebook, Myspace etc will have to wait until I get home at night. I will be in front of the computer all day but in a different capacity.

I will however, still blog and chat it up with all my Tweets when I have a free chance. The purpose of this job is to bring in substantial income to Shea Bath up and running. I have noticed that there are a lot of people who have a traditional "9 to 5" and still have a hustle on the side. I applaud them and look forward to when I can make this hustle a full time gig. As my friend Cee Cee from Neo Soul Products reminded me, "Don't forget to make time for your body butter". The advice is well taken and I will be sticking in business after work every chance I get.

What about you? Do you have a "9 to 5" in addition to your side business? Or is your side business the only business? This inquiring mind wants to know. :)

Wild Garden's new single-serving hummus packets taste great, give you a fiber boost and can be stashed in any bag or drawer... perfect for the chick on the go!	Labor Day's come and gone, leaving many of us to labor behind a desk all day. Incorporate these 5 tips to keep energy levels at their summertime high: 1. Wake muscles with a stretch to increase blood circulation and improve balance and posture. Try this simple AM routine. 2. Go hot and cold in the shower. Turn water as cold as you can stand it, back to warm. Repeat 2 -3 times. 3. Focus on 1 thing at a time. Multi-tasking eats into productivity and you'll feel more motivated when you cross something off your list. 4. Take a break from your routine -- go to a different lunch spot, explore a new store, sit in a park at lunch. Change does a body good. 5. Pack something essential for the office -- citrus essential oils (lemon, orange, grapefruit) help energize so keep a mist or candle handy. Bonus: Repeat #1 every hour or so throughout your workday and make sure you find time for yesterday's tips. Have a flagging friend? Perk her up with these tips and you could win a Popchips gift basket!
