Since we are in the holiday season it's a great time for baking.  All kinds of eye tempting treats, aromas that will fill our kitchens and just plain good times.   I enjoy eating gingerbread cookies but why not try it as a cupcake?  Especially with cherries!  

This recipe can be found in the Apr/May 2007 issue on page 29.  Recipe was submitted by Laura McAllister.

Nail Polishes - From Ittybit's Body Care

My nails and toe nails are something that I like to keep manicured as much as I can.  Unfortunately I can't pamper myself at a nail salon as much as I like so what's the next best thing?   Do them myself for free.  I go through my line up of colors and pick the one I would like to have done for my toes for the next week.  It could be pink one week, green the next week and blue the following week. I like using the brighter colors on my toes so they stand out a bit more.  I usually put lighter colors on my finger nails. I also like to use the Sally Hansen sheer beige gloss polish as a top coat so it protects the bottom coat and I can usually go a little longer before having to redo them.  Now I'm ready to go.  I noticed a product that Sally Hansen carries.  It's called the Nail Art Pen. I haven't purchased it myself yet but plan to.  It has a fine tip so it's easy to use and control, mistake proof so if you do make a mistake you can use a wet cotton swab to correct the mistake without messing up the polish work, water based and they have 8 fabulous colors.  It costs $7.99. So if you like putting little flower designs on your finger or toe nails after polishing them, like I do, this might be the way to go.

Lip Glosses - From Ittybit's Body Care

I'm sure there are a lot of ladies out there that like to keep their lips moisturized as well as looking pretty.  Who wouldn't?   I'm a huge fan of lip glosses.   I occasionally like wearing lip sticks but I would have to admit I favor lip gloss a lot more.  I like the Bonnie Bell line.  There's three shades that I really like: Dream Cafe, Latte Love and Vanilla Bean.  They also have a clear gloss that has tiny little sparkles in it called "sugar kiss."   I also recently discovered another company called e.l.f. which stands for eyes, lips and face has a shade called "fairy" which falls under the brown tone family which I really like.   One day while browsing the make up isle in the 99cent store I was pleasantly surprised to find the Bonnie Bell brush-on shimmer shear line with some of the shades that I use.  What a bargain!   So I grabbed a few.  Bath and Body Works and Victoria Secret also carry great lines of lip glosses as well.
