Another Quick Peek of Yet Another Novel I'm Working On

Andy Philips grinned at Allie Trenton’s foster parents. They nodded in approval to his boyish charm and good looks as they saw it. To Allie he was an overweight college slob too horny for his own good who needed a good dose of acne lotion. She wasn’t thrilled with the choice they had made. Something suggested from a neighbor, his aunt just down the street. She was never allowed to choose her own dates or even friends. One of her parents many rules.

They were strict only because they wanted her money. She had been in their foster care since birth, Allie’s birth parents had given her up, never to be heard from again. Allie‘s foster father was a “Be back here by nine.” Her mother called after them.

He smiled and waved to them until they were gone and then turned to Allie.

“Well now, aren’t they just the happy couple.” He laughed.

“Greedy that’s all.”

“So we’re off to party.” He grinned.

“I thought it was pizza and a movie.” She said to him. He was a nervous driver as his hands shook on the steering wheel Allie noted.

“Hot babes, a few brewskies and a lot of friends. I’m a real popular man.” Wondering if he was the laugh of the party she put on her best smile and prayed the rest of the night would end quickly.

It's All Natural Baby

Last year I discovered that our hardware store carries Burts Bee's products. Yes, a hardware store! Because I am a big fan of all natural ingredients I decided to try their lip balm and ended up loving it.

Well, just recently I learned that a local drugstore of ours now carries an entire line of their products, including an all natural body lotion. While I haven't been able to purchase another product of theirs, I figure one of these days I will because I'm all for a beauty care line that isn't chocked full in chemicals.

It took me months of continuous research for one of the company's that I work for to learn how bad chemicals and artificial ingredients can be and how easily we absorb them every day in our foods and beauty routine. Actually, it's not just bad it's pretty darn scary. So I've paid closer attention to what I eat and what I wear thanks to that research. And while I understand it's not something everyone will want to do, I hope that in some small way my readers will at the very least take notice of all of the chemicals and artificial ingredients in their own lives and at the very most, cherish what mother nature has given us even more.
