Transformation Made Simple
Give yourself 4% you are worth it. If you don’t think you are worth 4% who else will? Here’s a challenge start with 30 minutes a day 5 days a week, that 150 minutes. You can do that watching TV.
Old or young you are still worth 4%. If you don’t want to go to the gym, try these chair exercises that I seen on Facebook. Believe me, it is a workout.
Each day my goal is to find more courage and do the things I love. Stepping outside my comfort zone can be hard, however staying in fear is more frightening. I love finding quotes or nuggets of wisdom to start my day. I found this in my “First Thing Every Morning” calendar. These quotes are from January 4th, it was the perfect word to start my day.

Enjoy the Outback Bread every day using this copycat Outback bread recipe. I found this recipe at Pinterest — momcaster.com and had to try it. She used Oster Bread Machine which made a bigger loaf, but I needed to cut it in half to fit my machine. The sugar, honey and molasses makes it sweet so for me its not an everyday bread … maybe every other day. lol
If it last, let it cool and slice for a great sandwich. I love to make my own herb butter and eat it warm. I promise you, this bread will make it into your weekly rotation.
For those who don’t own a bread machine check out your local Goodwill. My machine was in great condition for $6.99. I figured I would gamble with $6.99 to see if I would use it … great purchase. Last week I paid $4.99 for Soft Sub Rolls… almost made me want to give up bread.

Now that summer is quickly approaching it’s time to think about showing those legs again. On my journey to eliminating plastic, a safety razor was top on my list. I grew up using a safety razor, so I am familiar with them. Here are 3 reason that makes a safety razor a viable option for me.
Environmentally Safe
My primary reasons for switching to a safety razor is to eliminate plastic. Disposable razors may be convenient, but the plastic is bad for the environment. A safety razor is stainless steel with a stainless steel blade. Environmentally, a safety razor is buy once and last a lifetime. The cost for a replacement blade is minimum, about 9 cents and they are also safe for the environment.
Saves Money
These days you can get disposable razors at the dollar store. Cost may not be a factor unless you have a house full of women, which was me growing up with two sisters and my mom.
If you use a razor with a replacement blade, it can get expensive. Eliminating this cost is where you will see a real savings. Depending on your usage, you can expect to save as much as $200 per year.
Like all products, a safety razor price can range from $10 to $50. I purchased Van Der Hagen Safety Razor
A safety razor is great for sensitive skin. Safety razors make cleaner cuts and are less likely to cause ingrown hair. Shaving with a safety razor means only a single blade comes in contact with the skin, compared to 3 or 4 with a disposable. A single blade decreases the chance of skin irritation.
I have also found that hair removal creams can be the cause of skin irritation, which I also avoid using. If it is strong enough to remove hair, can it really be healthy for your skin? Just saying!
Why the switch?
Switching to a safety razor is environmentally safe, saves money and helps eliminate skin irritation. The safety razor is an inexpensive solution for a greener and healthier world for the next generation, so why not give it a try. Don’t forget to order your razor today. Van Der Hagen Safety Razor
