Best of the Week: You are so beautiful!

Hello Intent Community!

First I just want to welcome all the new members to the community and of course a big thank you to all our members for all the positivity, love and joy you all bring. So lets get to the bright stars of the week

This week, Intent had beauty on its mind. I recently heard somewhere that despite what a terrible time the Great Depression was it gave birth to some of the most creative ideas and people. I can whole heartedly agree that the same is happening for our times. We are down but we will never give up and always find a way around. That is why I really enjoyed these beauty tips and tricks this week:

• Drink Yourself Beautiful by Lauren Simon
• How to Get Healthier Skin by Donna Gates
• Embrace Your Uniqueness by Kelly McIntyre
• 13 Reasons to use Baking Soda in your beauty regime by Olivia Kuhn Lloyd
• 10 Recession Proof Inner Beauty Tips by Yumi Sakugawa
• Beauty on a Budget by Prachi Patel
• Eco-Friendly Beauty Tools by Angie Provost

I read Prachi’s blog No Wonder We Are In A Depression and I confess I’ve let the dark clouds over my house. There is really no escaping the recession, I mean just note the amount of times I’ve brought it up in my Best of the Week posts; but what will truly make a difference is how we deal with it. How do we take what is given to us and spin it to a more positive and prosperous future? I loved these stories that reminded us to see the positive

• Hug the Monster – 4 Secrets to Surviving the Recession by Ben Sherwood
• Trust Your Hopes, Not Your Fears by Hilda Carroll
• Lost Everything, Found the Blessings by John Morton
• Don’t Worry, Just Laugh by Deidre Comb 
• Life’s Real Insurance: Be Present by Dr. Allan Hunter
• Filing Bankruptcy an Opportunity? by Pausha Foley
• Grown Ups Need Recess Too by Stewart Friedman

So I don’t really do News Years Resolutions because of the immense pressure but my intent this year was to avoid bad foods. Unfortunately Valentine’s Day came and since then chocolates and cakes have made their way back into my diet. With Spring around the corner I think it is time to give my mind, body and soul a spring cleaning:

• The Benefits of Fasting by Deborah Kesten
