Deborah Tayloe is a full-time blogger, children's book author, and freelance writer, contributing to large publications.
She has a B.S.Ed. in Secondary Education/English and a Spanish Minor. In addition, she holds a Certificates in Natural Health and Herbology from accredited programs. She pursued these natural wellness certifications due to her love for herb gardening.
Despite freelancing to make a living, her love is "all things home."
Deborah grew up in a family that grew a large vegetable garden and a fruit orchard, helping her parents pull weeds and can home-grown foods as part of her childhood. In fact, she had no idea that she could purchase veggies and fruits in pre-packed steel cans until she went to college and made a food run.
Today, she lives in Bertie County, North Carolina, an agricultural rural area with more chickens than people. She lives with her husband and two rescue pets a sweet toy fox terrier and a cat who showed up one day and moved into the house. Together, they enjoy DIY projects, furniture refinishing, gardening, and canning.
An herb garden is one of the greatest gifts that you can give to yourself. Whether you're an avid gardener or an in-home chef, it's a treasure trove of goodness for you to enjoy. Even in the smallest of spaces, you can grow herbs. Many will even thrive in container gardens.
As a full-time, professional makeup artist, I cleanse and sanitize my makeup brushes several times daily. A clean and sanitary work environment is the number one rule of makeup pros.
Drinking lemon water is a trend everywhere. From the lobbies of hotels to your local day spa, everyone's serving up this tasty twist on plain old water. As the temperatures climb as we head into the summer, it's a trend that's right on time.
