My very first time wearing RED-HOT-SEE-YOU-FROM-A-MILE-AWAY Lipstick

Rouge à Lèvres (Means 'Lipstick' in French, Featured in 'When a Woman Loves a Man')

We’ve never met, never shared a glance
but my world has become entangled in the wild of your hair
and like a seedling I thirst for your affection...

From a secret window, at a pocket of my heart
I watch the curve of your back
The ease with which each stroke creates the infinite colors of me, perhaps?

Caught in a web of seek and go hide I’m no longer mine, yours instead...

Another evening falls upon this boulevard
Another secret rendezvous
I must hurry, I must go to the one I long to kiss
To have our shadows cross again, that line when we become one…
And for a moment the scent of you all red with passion
paints a kiss like lipstick upon my lip.

The lady who was doing my make up said to me "I wish I had such beautiful, well-defined lips like yours, you have perfect lips." You know I was blushing after such a compliment, bright red...like my lips. Would I wear red lipstick on a regular basis? not sure about that, now, paying me to wear it is another story :-) I am usually a lip gloss kinda' girl, always been, always will be.

WHY I LIKE RED LIPSTICK: Fun to wear and it's bold.

Do you have a picture of you with red-hot lipstick on? If you'll like to be featured on this blog please forward your photo to bernice4fyr@gmail.com and you may be one of those chosen to feature here. Please include your name and why you like/wear red lipstick.

Driving back home: Hair-in-the-wind-crazy-woman (my daughter says)

I'd like to see this on canvas someday.

In My Orchid Mind (One of my favorite poems-- featured in 'When a Woman Loves a Man')

I thought to write a song for you today

as I sat by an old neroli brook

but it was all blues and reds, soft purples and pinks

colors that fade in comparison to you

In my head I had it all

the silent moments pregnant with vows

the moment I first met you

frozen into time and tucked away like amber lessons

the fragrance of youth, of summer nights

One wet slipper sneaking out the door

ten wetter kisses and a woman became a girl in the arms of a boy

your butterscotch lips melting my mimosa heart

You became the reason for every season’s treason

my viola cucullata

my papaver rhoeas

my gentiana verna

I wrote a bouquet for you today my boy

but when the trees and birds and winds

and paper and pen--anxious eavesdroppers

readied to taste of you

I selfishly saved it away in my orchid mind.

We are three moms with a passion for health and creativity who found themselves on facebook and became sisters: I can still remember how it all began but I will save that special story for another time. The 3G MOMS are, Maureen, 40, Therra, 36 and Bernice, 33. We are originally from Cameroon, West Africa. We are super creative, super innovative and do not believe in adhering to rules that stunt our passion and purpose. We are free spirits. You can read a little more about each one of us in the biography section of the cookbook.

MAUREEN

GFP™ aka GLUTEN-FREE POWERHOUSE.
A gluten-free diet is a diet completely free of gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat (including kamut and spelt), barley, rye, malts and triticale. Gluten is also used as a food additive in the form of a flavoring, stabilizing or thickening agent, often hidden under "dextrin". A gluten-free diet is the only medically accepted treatment for celiac disease, the related condition dermatitis herpetiformis, and wheat allergy.

Additionally, a gluten-free diet may exclude oats. Medical practitioners are divided on whether oats are an allergen to celiac disease sufferers or if they are cross-contaminated in milling facilities by other allergens.

CREAMY NUT-TY SOUP

I was in the mood for soup today so I went for it! oh, before we get to the soup, just wanted to share one of my favorite lyrics with you...Songwriters ROCK! that includes me too I guess...words, words...words...

CREAMY NUT-TY SOUP 

Ingredients:

3 tomatoes
1 leek
1 red bell peppers
3 Tbsp fresh basil
2 tsp fresh parsley
3 Tbsp Cashew butter
Juice of half a lemon
Pinch of salt
1/2 a cup of water
3-4 Medjhool dates

Put all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Drizzle with 1/2 a tsp of olive oil, garnish with some green onions and paprika. I added a little cayenne pepper to mine because I like it hot. Also, some people may like their soup warm, so it's okay to go ahead and warm yours a little. I like mine cold :) I used several pieces of celery sticks as my spoon and ate it with the soup with each bite, cool huh?

VEGAN OATMEAL-CHOCOLATE COOKIES

 I have been gone for a while I know, but I needed that time. It is not easy to be a stay-at-home mom who home schools her 8 year old, has a super-active 1year old and has BIG DREAMS and projects she is fired-up about---to name a few. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have been/and I'm EXHAUSTED...but hey who's complaining? I am superwoman right?

I have decided to RE-BOOT my system with lots of green juices and smoothies. Anyway, anyone who would like to join is welcomed to send me an email to bernice4fyr@gmail.com

I came up with this wonderful recipe the other day and I would like to share it with you:
