SHAREABLE Tip #3 – BEAT BELLY FAT WITH BARLEY!

Try some barley for your belly, baby!



REDUCE BELLY FAT WITH BARLEY!
Enjoy a delicious barley side dish instead of white rice (or mix it in with your white rice), and you’ll be well on your way to shedding dangerous belly fat according to both a Japanese study and a study in the ‘American Journal of Clinical Nutrition’.

You can thank the soluble fiber, beta-glucan, found in barley, and its ability to boost the body’s fat metabolism for that!

DeCew Falls/Morning Star Mill/The Miller’s House – ST. CATHARINES



Summer came and went so fast and now that I have a moment to go through my summer pictures from last year, I came across some photos of our visit to Decew Falls and the Morning Star Mill.

Upon our arrival at the mill, it almost felt like we had stepped back in time, and rightfully so. The mill, a heritage site, and a fully restored nineteenth-century gristmill gave us a rare glimpse back in time when moving water was used to mechanically grind grain into flour.

On the Mill’s sign it reads partially: ‘flour and feed – always on hand’.

The Falls along with the sign were two of the main things that initially caught our attention.



Immediately, I started to picture what it must have been like back then.

SHAREABLE Tip #2 – MEN – SHAVE IN THE SHOWER!

Multi-tasking for men! Men, you know this is true, so why aren’t you doing it?



MEN – SHAVE WHILE SHOWERING – FOR A BETTER SHAVE!
Not only is this time saving, but it will make shaving easier! The humidity of your shower will keep your skin moist and your pores open thereby making your hair softer and easier to remove.

What to do:
  1. Get yourself a fog-free or shower mirror. (Otherwise, rub in some of that same shaving cream onto your mirror till it’s clear and that should keep it fog-free for weeks!)
  2. Wash face, then lather face with shaving cream or gel, or just use bath soap.
  3. Lather body with soap – take your time, this gives the shave cream time time to soften your beard. Shave cheeks first, neck next, and finally the upper lip and chin. This order is important as it leaves the toughest whiskers till last, giving them more time to soften.
  4. Then rinse, dry your face off and apply the usual after shave or moisturizer.

SHAREABLE Tip #1 - HONEY FOR YOUR TUMMY!

It's all about the honey, honey. ;)

Don't like yogurt but want the same benefits for your digestive system? SWITCH TO HONEY!




DON'T LIKE YOGURT BUT WANT THE SAME BENEFITS FOR YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM?
SWITCH TO HONEY!
A tablespoon of honey daily is needed to reduce gas-producing toxins and help keep healthy bacteria in the colon and in the intestines in check!

Niagara’s First Snow Fall in Autumn with a Few Hungry Squirrels Enjoying Some French Fries



Yes, it’s still Autumn. Winter actually begins around December 21-22, so Autumn isn’t officially over yet. The leaves haven’t ALL fallen, but the first snow fall for the Niagara region has arrived and I have managed to capture some hungry squirrels snacking on some french fries.
