Announcements

1. Thank you for listening to our first audio entry! You will be hearing more from Here We Are as we move along building this community of busy women, and men, too.

2. A big WELCOME to the newly added blog list member, Bionic Beauty!! Jami, the editor-in-chief, writes informative, truthful, eye-opening articles on all things beauty related. She offers lots of "sample finds, beauty news, cosmetic product reviews, makeup tips and tricks with readers across the globe."

In a recent Bionic Beauty entry, I learned that some mascaras are made with recycled tires! WHAT??? So, if you are at all interested in learning about products before you buy, then this is the site for you. PLUS: Be sure to check out the Friday feature, "Achieving Powerful Beauty." It will have you thinking about what "beauty" really means.

3. Here We Are has been collaborating with a candle company to feature sensationally fragrant, hand-poured candles. Designed with our readers in mind, these candles are as natural as you will find anywhere. When I opened a box, the scent of the essential oils was so heavenly, they sent me over the moon! No wonder Lisa Kasper, the owner, calls her company, Blue Moon Candles! Watch for our upcoming entry featuring this woman owned business; BONUS: it will contain a special discount code for Here We Are readers. We are excited to introduce these luxurious, affordable, and NATURAL goodies to help you stay green and burn clean.

Update

At the end of February, the recipient of our Gift Giveaway was the Children's Heart Surgery Fund. When I learned about the fund drive, it motivated me to donate and write a piece about the effort. If you can help this worthy cause by giving a small amount, please do; or help spread the word by emailing the entry so others can learn about it.

Reminder

As March comes in, once again, like a lion, it is comforting to note we are almost through the winter and nearer to spring with each passing day!
