Cuticles are to be cared for even in summer.  Not only are the cuticles being over-exposed to more harsh chemicals but are going from wet to dry more often for most.  We tend to wash and eat seasonal fruit and veggies more through out the summer months.  Therefore, light oils, such as jojoba, sweet almond, coconut oil and even evoo may be applied often to dry and cracked cuticles.  It is best to apply these oils right after water exposure to trap the moisture in the outer skin layer and these oils will also absorb into dry skin.

 

And, of course, damaged cuticles will look better after these oils are applied.

CHILDREN CAN TELL STORIES WITH SUCH TRUTH

 

A teacher is explaining biology to her 3rd grade students.  She says, “Human beings are the only animals that stutter.” A little girl raises her hand saying, “I had a kitty-cat who stuttered.”

The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become.  So, she asked the girl to describe the incident. “Well,” she began, “I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!”

The teacher exclaimed, “That must’ve been scary!”  The little girl said, “It sure was. My kitty raised her back, went ‘Sssss!, Sssss!, Sssss!’ and before she could say ‘S#!t,’  the Rottweiler ate her!”

The teacher had to leave the room.

One Sunday morning, a young child was acting up during the worship service. 

The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing the battle.  

Finally, the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out.  

Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little one called loudly to the congregation, “Pray for me! Pray for me!”

Be Aware of Those Around You

No matter how insignificant you may think they are

 

As this college student learned.
“During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman many times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. “Absolutely,” said the professor. “In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say “hello.”

I’ve never forgotten that lesson.  I also learned that her name was Dorothy”.

This is the one product I often advise my client’s to use.  IT WORKS!  Formula 2 is the one most often suggested to clients with weak, soft, peeling nails.  Formula 3 for dry, brittle nails for those cooks and bakers.  They seem to wash their hands and dishes and clean the kitchen more often, thus drying out the nails because nails take on water.  Nailtiques 2Plus Formula is for those who’ve had a bad or long term hard gels or acrylics experience and want to go natural for a while.

My clients often say, ‘I want hard nails’, and I’ll advise, ‘No, you want strong nails’.  Nailtiques strengthens nails and not harden.  If used properly, the outcome for your nails will be where you want to go.  Of course, you can’t mistreat your nails and expect perfect nails.

Try it.

Hope of Eternity

Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.  But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.  We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all

(Matthew 18:11) “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.

Will the wedding French ever be too much

for any special day

 

Little boy was in a relative’s wedding.

As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd.  

While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar.  

 So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle.  

 As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit.  

 When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said,

“I was being the Ring Bear.“

Make someone smile today:)
