I am happily married to the love of my life and the Mother of 3 daughters ages: 19 years, 20 months, and 2 months; and our 5-1/2 year old son. I am also blessed with a 4 month old granddaughter whom I adore!
I have been self-employed as a Holistic Health Practitioner since 1995. My services include Seated Relaxation Massage, Reflexology and Reiki. In December 1998, I graduated with honours as an Aesthetician from The Alexandrian Institute where I fell in love with skin care and body treatments.
Since March 2008, I have been a Beauty Consultant with Aloette Premiere Cosmetics. We sell Premium, Pharmaceutical-Grade, Aloe Vera-based Cosmetics and Anti-Aging Products through Home Shows, Private Consultations and on The Shopping Channel.
My favorite things to cook
I love slow cooker recipes as I don't have much time to prepare more than a one course meal these days with my 2 youngest daughters home full-time and my son in school everyother day. Maybe once I start getting more sleep (my 2 month old daugher is still eating every 3 hours around the clock!) I will be more adventurous in the kitchen again...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Right now I am starting new traditions with my youngest children. Teaching them how to bake traditional Indian Cookies. My 5 year old son loves to help me make homemade meatballs that we bake and then freeze so that they are always available for his favorite meal which is Spaghetti.
My cooking triumphs
Being able to make Indian Cookies that don't resemble hockey pucks!!! There is a fine line between over kneading the cookie dough that I have finally mastered! My Grandma Powless would be so proud!
My cooking tragedies
Burning rice!!! I definitely need to ask Santa for a Rice Cooker this Christmas!!!
