The Many Benefits of Snail Mucin (or Mucus, Slime) for the Skin
Vendors of snail-slime face lotions or creams tout them as some of the best things nature ever invented for everything older and problem skin might need. According to them, snail mucus can fix wrinkles, spots, rosacea, eczema . . . even psoriasis. I’m not sure about some of the more far-fetched claims, but one thing is for certain: snail mucin (isolated from the giant African snail/Achatina fulica or from other snail species, such as the…
Tips for Getting Started on Medium as a Writer
After getting started on Medium in 2021 and then abandoning the project of writing there after only a few articles, I got back on Medium three weeks ago looking for ways to get more settled on that platform and learn some tips about how to become successful at it. The problem with my first time on Medium was that I was trying to be a writer there without being much of a reader. I also…
TT: Baked Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon and Maple Syrup
Today’s Tip is about baked sweet potatoes. I’ve seen these baked whole, with fork-poked holes in them or sliced through the middle, seasoned with salt and served with butter (and, maybe, cinnamon as well), or roasted as small cubes with olive oil and various spices, and there’s no denying that baked sweet potatoes can be enjoyed in many ways, but lately I’ve been wary of using too much salt and (salted) butter and prefer instead…
Other types of food to use as a replacement for eggs
Substitutes for eggs when cooking. I like my egg(s) in the morning and I tend to use a substitute or another when cooking, so as not to have too many eggs in a day. That said, it looks like I definitely need eggs when making pancakes with gluten-free flours, partly for their binding property and partly for the taste. Eggs have more properties, of course (beaten eggs also help leaven the pancakes and they act…

TT: Drink Green Tea with Citrus Juice to Enjoy More Catechin Power
There are so many important health tips I want to share, I’ve started to write them down in my day planner, to make sure I squeeze them in on certain days when I have less tasks. Today’s Tip is about adding citrus juice to green tea. I use organic lemon or lime juice, easily available at Carrefour. Here’s why this is important. Disclaimer: I am not a medical or health practitioner, and no part of…
Funny Not Adulting Yet Mugs for Mom
And now for something funny. I often notice how kids these days are so very wise for their age. I think they always were, but these days there’s so much info and technology, and yet the kids keep up—and even better their parents and other older adults. Years ago a kid I know, who was only four or five at a time, could actually troubleshoot everything on the desktop computer he shared with his parents.…
Elegant Floral Return Address Labels and Some Stylish Self-Inking Stamps
I love fonts and there’s no reason one should have a return address label or self-inking stamp with boring typewriting. There are stylish and also trendy, modern script fonts with beautiful cursive handwriting penmanship, and there is also very chic block lettering available if you’d rather have that for both your address and your name. Now, the thing with cursive script is that you may or may not like your initial letters. Letters E and…
Brave Little Warrior. Bodysuits and T-Shirts for Babies Fighting for their Life
Every parent wants one thing for their newborn baby: to be healthy. And yet for so many parents and little ones, pregnancy and birth come with difficulties. Babies are born with congenital heart problems, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, and so many other difficulties. I’ve read books and articles about these children and their problems, not only nonfiction, but fiction as well. Clearly, I’m not the only one impacted by these stories: so many novelists are…
