Demeter coloring page

Demeter coloring page- blank available for free

The Athena coloring page from 2016 was never meant to be a stand-alone. This time I picked Demeter. Her symbols are grain, poppies, cornucopias and torches. I chose the cornucopia and wheat for this representation.

The coloring for this was inspired by the work of Vinzenz Brinkmann. He's an archaeologist who has done amazing things with researching color on ancient art by finding the pigments still on the statues and art and doing colorized versions based off those findings.

Sun and Flowers coloring page

Sun and garden coloring page

I'm really loving this kind of look right now. This page was inspired by the fact it's time to start ordering seeds for growing in the summer, that the days are getting longer and winter will end.

My husband saw it and said "Oh, some people are going to be really happy!"

Figure skating coloring page

figure skating mandala -blank version to print and color available

With the 2018 Winter Olympics coming up, my best friend is going into full "winter sports! Olympics!" all the time mode.

Today she was all about figure skating and asked if I was going to do any Olympic themed coloring pages. I was pretty sure there was a winter sports themed page in Whimsical Mandalas- and there is! But here's one for you that is specifically figure skate themed.

I hope you enjoy it!

Fresh Face Botanicals



If you’ve ever noticed, a lot of women get to a certain age with grace and laughter- there’s a secret to that.

The secret is that we have, out of necessity, learned not to take ourselves too seriously.

When you’re closer to 60 than to 30 you go through some changes.

You start growing hair in places you NEVER had it before and the last thing you do before leaving the house isn’t checking your teeth for lipstick, it’s checking your chin or cleavage to make sure nothing unexpected is there.

The hair that is where you expect it is not doing what you expect it to do. It’s suddenly wilder. It wants to stick up, or develops a wave, or it seems distributed differently.

Laughing too hard or sneezing is suddenly an act of courage in public.

Your skin changes.

If you’re like me, you wind up in that place between wrinkles and zits, with skin that is entirely too sensitive and prone to dryness for the things they make for teenagers, and too acne prone to use the stuff your grandmother used.

A friend that I trust very much developed a line of products that works hard, but gently.

My favorite thing in the Fresh Face Botanicals™ line up is the AHAmazing Exfoliating Facial Cleanser.

It’s gently exfoliating, it won’t scrape and tear delicate skin, but it does clean and smooth skin. Using it daily helps your skin look healthy and not dull.  It’s got tiny microbeads of jojoba for scrubbing action, it has glycolic acid for exfoliation and revealing your best skin and pumping up the collagen (yay! Less lines apparent!), your skin feels soft, clean, and not dried out using this stuff.  It rinses clean and easily.

You could get by with just this cleanser and the toner. Of course, using the whole line maximizes the benefit.

For bad hair days? My own method of dealing with them is using a bit of pomade and hair sticks to put my hair in an easy updo.

Most of my hair sticks are handmade, my current favorites are the willow hair sticks my children made for me, and will start making for sale soon.

Disclaimer: The owner of Fresh Face Botanicals is a personal friend. I did buy her products to try them out and this is based on my personal experience with them.
