Long before I had T.D. there was this inner war raging inside me. One might say it was a war against women. Well, a certain type of woman, more like a girl. Those silly, stupid, vapidly shallow girls who prance, and I do mean prance, around in ridiculous clothes bringing down the rest of us. When I say this, it's not out of jealousy or anything like that, it's in despair. It's despair I feel when I go to the mall and see four year old's wearing glitter eye makeup preening in a store window while shaking their booty and asking if they are sexy. I literally sat in bed last night wondering what I would do if T.D. ever asked at the tender age of 4 if she's sexy. NO!!! You are not supposed to be sweetie. Augh! So why do some supposedly smart women give in and think it's cute to insult … [Read more...]

Recently I've noticed a boom in the self-storage business in my area. These facilities range from small to exceptionally large sites where you can store your stuff for whatever reason. Moving soon? Selling a home? New stuff? Store it at a self storage place. What I find so crazy is that there are some people out there, we'll call them addicts, who buy so much stuff for their homes they NEED a self-storage unit to hide the new stuff from there families. Yikes! Being a reformed addict I have to say I never considered this option. Apparently though it's quite common.If you need self storage for whatever reason though and you live in the Rosedale, CA area why not try Pleasant Grove Self Storage. If you need a little more room in your house or are planning a big move call Pleasant Grove … [Read more...]

This product is a long time favorite of mine. It's Kiss My Face's Moisture Shave. I personally LOVE the Key Lime scented one. It's light and all of Kiss My Face's products are all natural and organic. So you can feel good about buying this product and they don't test on animals. They are nicely priced too! The 11 ounce bottle of the Moisture Shave retails for about $6. It goes on smoothly and unlike a gel shave product it only produces a thin coating on your skin. No residue is left behind or collecting on your razor. Really beyond me gushing about this product too much the website says it all. The natural ingredients help heal the skin and refresh it. Kiss My Face products contain no animal ingredients, artificial colors, or unnecessary chemicals and are not tested on animals. They … [Read more...]

I’m putting you on notice reader, especially if you are female. I want you to leave your comfy abode and go out and buy the book, The Gift of Fear, by Gavin DeBecker. If you are too comfy, order it off Amazon, directly from my site if you so choose. Just do it. Read it. It could save your life and here’s why.This book is not new. DeBecker was featured on Oprah’s eons ago (1998) but his message is clear and easy to follow. Women, listen to your inner voice. It’s your gut, your instincts telling you exactly what you need to do, especially when you are in danger. That other voice, the sweet one you hear? The one that sees the good in everyone no matter what, that voice has been programmed into you during you life. The animal instinct one is the one you need to go by.Let me share an … [Read more...]

I should have never opened my mouth. Or stopped by his cube. I should just be slapped silly for doing this. I admit I was feeling a bit fired up today about the November elections next week. Mainly because I'm just so sick of the wasted oxygen over stuff that doesn't matter. I just want to yell at both parties and say, "Grow up! You are public servants! Officials elected to do a job serving your communities! Now shut up, sit down and do your job! Stop arguing over party line crap and listen to the people." Geez....So when I went over for a friendly mid-morning hello (I stop by many coworkers cubes to say hi during the day, that's just me.)I didn't anticipate (really I didn't) the diatribe I was subjected to. Apprently people like me do not exsist. I boggle his mind and therefore he is … [Read more...]

Candy, Candy, Candy I Can't Let You Go...An Open Letter To My Kids' Trick Or Treat Bag:We have to end this. It's wrong. You know it. I know it. My husband knows it. My son knows it.It's not love I have for you, it's lust. I wish I could say it meant something when I dive my hand deep inside you. Or when I fondle your orange head with one hand, while the other tickles and caresses every inch of wrapper.But don't kid yourself. I'm using you. I'm using you for a short, sweet in the mouth guilt. Pleasure. Pure pleasure. We know it won't last. And we know you will only leave me feeling fat. So we're ending this now, before it even begins. Go ahead and use those crooked to teeth to stare at me. Mock me. But I am NOT cheating this year. It ends here. At year 3. 3-year-old can count their tootsie … [Read more...]

In our last week of October we feature the Awake Sea Salt Scrub from Arbonne. I tried this scrub out this weekend as well as the body lotion in this line. The scrub is a nice blend of sea salt and essential oil with the key ingredients of avocado and sweet almond oil. I was surprised at how oily it was at first until I noticed the little spatula to mix the scrub. Once mixed it exfoliated well leaving a protective moisturizing layer on my skin. The light citrusy scent only enhances the quality of this product. I then applied the Awake lotion locking in all the moisture and leaving my skin smooth and soft. It was like a little visit to the spa only in my home bathroom. I would definetly try the other aromatherapy products that Arbonne has to offer.For more information about the Awake … [Read more...]

Friday while at the vet for Lex's annual check up we had the chance to meet Chili. Poor Chili. Chili the fat chihuahua. How fat is he? Well we won't go into that we'll just say that his owner wanted to remove his blue and red bowtie before Chili was weighed so he wouldn't feel bad about his weight. Yup, I'm not lying. See? Poor Chili. Beyond Chili's weight issues he also sports a nice underbite and snaggletooth. It adds to his sad charm. His tongue swipes that snaggletooth every few seconds while he patiently waited the full 20 minutes it took his owner to explain his daily care. I listened to her quietly explain to the vet tech Chili's daily needs. She took a photo of him at home lest he be confused with say another fat chihuahua with a snaggletooth also boarding at the same … [Read more...]
