LOTS OF THINGS! For instance, love and laughter are musts for me! This is the blog where I try to distinguish between needs and mere wants! There is, I realize, a fine line between the two. Hopefully, you'll help me in my quest to find what us gals really NEED! As part of my search, I love to do reviews for great companies and giveaways for my wonderful readers and talk about life in general!

Tropical Traditions Canadian Raw Honey Giveaway and Review
Congratulations to my winner, LAMusing #26, who said:
I follow on GFC (#1) I will e-mail you as well with the good news!
Tropical Traditions has proved once again that it is a company that offers only the highest quality food products. This Canadian Raw Honey is exquisite! It is not clear, like many honeys, but creamy and smooth. The taste is perfect! It is almost like a rich butter going onto your toast. Because it is so very good, I don't want to waste it in baking. I'll go and get a lesser quality honey to disappear into my cooking. This honey was made for eating straight! Try it, you'll see what I mean.
For first time purchasers, please use the referral code 5954910. You will receive a complimentary copy of the book 'Virgin Coconut Oil: How It Has Changed People's Lives And How It Can Change Yours' with your purchase. This book includes over 85 recipes using coconut oil and research showing the health benefits of coconut oil!
You can purchase Tropical Traditions Canadian Raw Organic Honey (17 oz.) now through July 8th for 50% off!

A Great Place To Run and Walk!
I have a little place that I go when I take my dog for an early morning run/walk.
It's very quiet, it's very beautiful and we both love it. I've always loved to hike, bike and run--just never all at the same time. I'm either on a hiking kick, a biking phase or a running stage. For a long time, I swore I'd never run again. I preferred the less jolting activities of hiking and biking. But my weight has given me fits lately. I need to do something. I can't cheat when I run.
I've started out walking for 5 minutes and running for 5 minutes for an hour. But this is the place my dog and I go. No one bothers us, no prying eyes here at 6:30 am. Just me, my dog, the road and an occasional lake bird. Yes, we have a beautiful backdrop!
Evee is a real motivator. She runs like the wind, and loves to chase birds in flight, ducks in the water (yes, she loves to swim) or, unfortunately bikers, cars and runners. Of course, she always comes back to see that I'm doing OK and she tries to get me going even faster by circling behind me, ever herding. That's why I need to have her out early in the morning before anyone comes out. I can't enjoy a walk where I have a dog tugging on a leash wanting to aggressively herd anything that comes by. But it's good for me as well to rise early. Getting up in the morning and exercising really kick starts my day!

Helena
