short month for everybody.It kicks off
the holiday season and lots of eating.Snacks, savory dishes, desserts, it's all ahead of us - and family.Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because
everyone in our family gets together and enjoy each other's company.We wish you and yours enjoyment, love and
laughter this holiday season.

Beta
carotene is more than the color behind carrots, pumpkins and squash.It helps prevent blindness, cataracts and
other blind problems.Beta carotene is
an antioxidant and protects your body from certain cancers and heart
disease.This that extra helping of
sweet potatoes guilt free.
Kitchen Spa While you're making
that big Thanksgiving feast for your family keep in mind that some of the tasty
morsels you prepare can be enjoyed by you later as a masque.Start with sweet potatoes, carrots or
pumpkin.But make sure that any
ingredient you choose is not prepared with any oils, salt or other
ingredients.So hold about 1/2 cup back
from the dishes you're preparing.
This masque
is rich in beta carotene and vitamin c.It
softens and hydrates while absorbing impurities from your skin.
1/2 carrots,
pumpkin, sweet potatoes, or squash - pureed

honey
1 teaspoon
yogurt
Combine all
ingredients to a smooth paste and apply to your neck and your face, leaving
your eyes, nose and mouth free from any masque mixture.Relax for 10 - 15 minutes and rinse with warm
water.
