Pure Matters and a Little TMI

May 17, 2012

Recently the good folks at Mamasource and Pure Matters sent me some Kids Sugar-Free Multi-Vitamin Gummies to try.  The grand twins have loved taking them everyday that they are here and of course ask for more.  2 gummies is a daily serving so I dole them our one at a time.  There are six different [...]

Coincidence? I Don’t Think So

March 23, 2012

This is another TMI post, so if you are faint of heart or male you may want to skip over. I have lamented to all of you regarding my peri-menopause and all the fun things that go with it, and now I am adding two and two together and realizing there is more to it [...]

Blown Away

February 14, 2012

In my younger days (okay maybe only 10 or so years ago), when my gray hair wasn’t as noticeable, I used to get my hair straightened whenever I would get it cut.  But lately, I just haven’t wanted to see how much the gray shows up when it is straightened. Blow Angel’s in Los Angeles [...]

Yoplait Light Swap

August 24, 2011

I was invited to a luncheon last week sponsored by Yoplait Light Yogurt.  When RSVP’ing I informed them that I had never tasted yogurt in my life and in fact had an aversion to it.  I guess that intrigued them enough to allow me to come anyways and I am oh so glad it did. [...]

Well Adjusted

July 13, 2011

Nothing in my life has ever been well adjusted, not physically, not mentally, and not financially.  But last week I was offered the chance to receive a free consultation with Advanced Bodywork and Massage.  I can tell you I came out of there feeling a good 3 inches taller.  But I am getting ahead of [...]

Newbie

July 2, 2011

I had my first official visit to the gym this week and it didn’t go so well. I rode the recumbent bike for about a mile and a half, but wasn’t comfortable in the seat. Then moved to the elliptical which I was told would be good for my bad knee. YEOUWCH! Not so much, [...]
