A couple of days ago we spent the afternoon strolling Okeeheelee Nature Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. Okeeheelee Nature Center consists of 2.5 miles of winding trails through 90 acres of wetlands and pine flatwoods. We had a great time just being in nature together – snapping photos, chatting and walking hand in hand. However, this little guy was the highlight of our stroll, isn’t he fantastic? What is the best animal that you have encountered on an afternoon stroll?

Hello Everyone. Is it just me or do you find clothing made from food, newspaper and now rubber bands fantastic? New York architect Margarita Mileva has wowed me with her discarded rubber bands turned cocktail dress. Now, that is a fabulous way to reuse 14,235 rubber bands, no? 
Would you wear a cocktail dress made exclusively from rubber bands?
Sunday, we are going to have an “outside activity day.” We are taking our bicycles, canoe and a picnic to the everglades for the day. Last time we went bicycling there, we almost ran into a one of these! However, the one we saw wasn’t orange.

We all know that eating fruits and vegetables are good for your health – providing countless vitamins, minerals and natural substances that can protect your body from chronic health problems. Right?
Adding fruits and vegetables to our busy schedules can be a challenge. That is where superfoods come to the rescue! Superfoods are packed densely with all of those good ingredients that are common in fruits and veggies – but in a smaller serving.
If you are among 60-70% of American who do not get the recommended 2+ fruit and 3+ vegetable servings per day – think of adding superfoods to your daily routine!
Each week, I would like to focus on one superfood. Let’s get started, number one on our list is pomegranate.
Pomegranates have long been revered as the first fruits of the world, packed with antioxidants, these lovely red globes offer great support to our cardiovascular systems. You can eat the seeds by themselves or drink the juice. My family loves to eat pomegranates whole, as a sorbet and sprinkled on our salads.
How do you enjoy pomegranate?
