What would you believe?

Religion isn't really something I have been into, at least not for most of my life. But due to medical issues, and people around me losing faith. I have been hit with the over abundant need to know more.

The realization that death could be at any moment has set in. I could lose my life from illness, I could walk down the street and get hit by a car or shot. Or even Bashed in the skull by an oversized meteor.

We do not know when it will happen, only that it will. And with people saying things like, We blink out, there is no god, god has abandoned us, or any of those non belief thoughts .... you start to question.

With people talking about how they know without a doubt that there is something more. There is a god, tat god speaks to them, you start to question if they are right, or crazy.

I have been google'ing a lot lately. Near death experiences one of my favorite things to listen to lately. This lady Erica http://www.ericamckenzie.com/ has an interesting one to tell. Although, I have a hard time swallowing it, I can not help but wonder if its true.

I have listened to probably a total of 46 near death stories on the internet in the past few weeks, and while they do differ from one another, they also have quite a few elements that are very much the same. While I wonder if there is truth, I also wonder if they aren't feeding off what they have already heard and have decided to stick to the basics.

There is a very interesting short story, or short film that is actually quite thought provoking. Maybe you have heard it? Gateway of the mind ... you can see it for yourself  here -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG4c5C74-Ys

Either way, the background of this is about a homeless man who volunteered to have surgery to sever all 5 senses with hopes of clearing the mind enough to speak to god .... At the end of this video, the man whispers "God has abandoned us." before flat lining.

While I do not think that could have truly happened .... I do look around at the world and wonder, If there is  god, has he abandoned us? If you look at all the greed, the hypocrisy, the death,  the murder, thievery, it definitely has the ability to make you believe that if there is a god, he doesn't seem to be present.

Either way, my husband is a non believer, he says ... we just blink out. There is nothing. I have a hard time swallowing that too. For those of you out there who do not believe in ghosts, then maybe you won't believe me, just like half of us do not believe the people who claim to have been abducted by aliens, etc. But I have seen things,  I still see things, I hear them, I feel them. I feel like I have seen too much to not believe that there is more.

But then, Nick says things like "Quarts." It has the ability to store energy, and it has been scientifically proven that we create energy. So ghosts, are just manifestations of energy stored.

He says .... people who say they have seen all these things near death, are just victims of their brains firing rapidly. That memories, etc, they can all be firing causing visions of your past, etc. He said to think of dreams .... you dream and they rarely make sense. You wake up , feeling and knowing it was just so real. Same as them, they are victims of their minds malfunctioning. That thought actually got me thinking, that it really could be a possibility.

I have a sister who died when she was a child. She drowned. She was clinically pronounced dead. I will not go into full detail because this story is not mine to tell, maybe someday, she will feel the need to share it out publically. But till then, I can only give the jest. I do not know her age then, because I was a baby in my mothers belly, or perhaps not even a thought. My mother is not a very religious person either, so for my sister to say these things, well .... they make you feel like MAYBE, just maybe there really is something. Needless to say, they did revive her. I do not remember the minutes, how long she was down. But she did say, after seeing a picture of a man in the bible a few years later "This is him mommy, this is the man who held me under the water and said I was going to be okay." My sister couldn't have been older than 7.

I am at a point in my life now, where I feel I need to know. I do not possess the ability to jump in blind faith.

I listened to, and read all these near death experiences. They seem like such a beautiful idea.  But then I read passages where it is started -- "They are not dead, they sleep until I rise them." It is worded differently in the bible. But does that mean, we truly do blink out? That we are just in a dark void? Until the supposed second coming? If that is true, then are all the people who are saying these beautiful things, these people who almost died, are they really, truly just seeing images stored in their mind? Creating a dream like fabrication that just feels real?

The move Flat liners comes to mind, and the want to come close, to come to that brink of death so I can experience it for myself is a strong want. I am too afraid to die however, I have too much to do around here. Too many people who depend on me, People I do not want to hurt, because  I was foolish.

I just wish I knew, I wish I had the faith my sister and her daughters have. But I am only filled with questions. I guess that makes me an agnostic.

Has anyone ever put a near death experiencer on a lie detector platform, to see if they are just spilling out what they think they should say, for 15 minutes of fame?  Either way, this is weighing heavily on my mind. Again,  I am always UNABLE to let go of things I can not figure out ... and this problem isn't one I will have answers to, until death touches me. If even I find out then. If you just blink out, then you know nothing.

Maybe your immortal afterlife .... is really just you existing in the hearts and memories of others. But even that life isn't ever lasting as the blood line draws out over time, you are nothing except to the people you are closest to now. Such a sad thought.

But then again .... If you are an asshole during life and all you do is blink out, then your family wouldn't have to grieve that you are burning in hell somewhere. So I guess its not completely bad if that is the case.

Anyways ..... It is not normal that I blog more than once a day, unless I am doing Tomoson Reviews. But this was on my mind.


Have a great day guys! xxDee

The day after

If I am going to tell the truth ... I spent yesterday investigating. I just couldn't let it go. I couldn't believe something like that could happen without me seeing it. It makes me wonder, what else is going on around me that I haven't noticed AND SHOULD?

As nerdy as this is, I spent a good deal of my day hiding in the bushes and listening to the workers. Seeing if I could pick up any clue, that they were in fact responsible. AGAIN, I do not know Spanish, so this did me no good. Absolutely NO GOOD! The only thing I succeeded in getting, hiding in those bushes, was a scratchy face breaking out because my skin is sensitive, a cat I am allergic to rubbing against my leg causing hives and a tick on my left shoulder. YAY ME!

Sigh .........

It wasn't a complete loss playing private detective. I felt like a kid again, I got that feeling inside when you are a kid. I also got a really cool idea for a juvenile detective like story. Two wins at once.

You know that saying, things happen for a reason? Maybe the reason for this was to revisit my child like self, lord knows I have been feeling old. Also, maybe it was to get the inspiration for a new story and I might, JUST MIGHT ... make enough to get a new grill. Although, a fence is first on my list.

I'm still angry .... I can not look out that window or take the dogs out without getting pissed all over again. This contributed to my OOPS of a diet. You see, what happen was .... I was walking through food lion, and EVERYTHING and I do mean everything was burgers corn on the cobs ETC. Even a sign that said, Don't miss the end of grilling season, with a sale on steak. Grocery shopping made me angry, which then turned into being upset ... and then I saw ice cream and then my literal thought was "I'm sad, I can't grill ..... SHAMROCK SHAKES! I deserve ice cream." I do not really know my logic there, but that is how it happened.

I am supposed to be having a good weekend, But I am stuck on something  I can do absolutely nothing to about. That bullshit cop, no help ... I doubt any cop around here would be of help, if someone isn't dead, they could really care less.

Going to try, TRY my best to let this go, I am not normally one for holding grudges, but I SERIOUSLY with my whole wide heart HOPE they fall on their fucking faces. Or that the food they cook on that grill is undercooked and they get sick .. or , and this is the big OR, hopefully the tank of gas springs a leak and blows them to smithereens. Too harsh? Maybe I am over reacting, but, I think any one who goes through this, knows, and would side with me on that one.

Thanks for listening to me rant. Have a good day guys! xxDee

Feel free to swing by my facebook blog page to be informed of when I blog again https://www.facebook.com/pages/Randomly-So/491631937586928 Or not, totally up to you guys.

ROBBED! In daylight ... WTF?

If getting robbed was ever meant to be on my bucket list before I die ... I can no doubt about it, check it off now.

Sigh ...........................................


These people had balls too! This happened during the day, WHILE I WAS HOME!


I was sitting on my computer, doing Tomoson reviews, you have a deadline for those, and I was reaching mine. I had already taken the dogs out, so I was going to settle in and get to work.


Cut to, too much coffee and the need to pee .... I hear a jiggle. It's my back door. I thought it was the dogs just making noise. I rolled my eyes. Then the noise is louder and just like every other time ... I yelled out, KNOCK IT OFF BOYS! Be quiet, you already went out you are fine! My voice is not a quite toned voice ... I got a set of lungs that is for sure. Either way, the noise stops. I'm like, thank god. Come back into the living room, get myself a drink and I settle in.

Keep in mind that I like to live in a cave. ALL MY BLINDS STAY CLOSED! or they tend to, not anymore.

The hours pass... Britt scares the shit out of me when she busts through the living room door. "Home from school." An hour later, I head out to the bus stop and I wait for the two youngest ones. They get home, its a happy reunion. I ask them about their day, we make our way inside and all is good.

A friend calls, asks to come over. I say yes, and so it is what it is. A few minutes after arrival. Avery gets annoyed, because she gets that way quite easily. Asks, "Can I go outside momma?" I don't feel comfortable with her outside alone, especially with the workers across the street. I tell her, "Not alone, Navaya and Erin should go with you." They go out and then they come back in.

"Momma, where is our stuff?" WTF, crosses my mind. I'm like "What?" "Our stuff is gone." I reply with the usual "No its not ... don't mess with me." They keep insisting, I keep saying its a game. FINALLY I am like FINE! I will play your game. I will go out, they will be like GOTCHA and I can get back to what I am doing.

THEY TOOK IT ALL ......

That spot you see is a brick patio nick had laid down to place our BRAND NEW GRILL! You can see the spilled the catch bowel ... along with the gas tank. ETC.
You know, It's not really about the grill, I do not feel like they stole the grill, I feel like they stole my sense of security. I am terrified to let the girls go outside now.

I cannot afford a fence, so that shit has to wait ... I feel like they are out there, watching, laughing even. SUCKS BALLS!

I keep telling myself it could have been worse! I could have forgotten to lock the lock yesterday, they could have came inside ... It could have been much worse.

Either way, I call the cops. THE COP IS A DOUCHE! You know people who say things sweetly and slowly to show that they think you are an idiot. ANYTHING I SAID, was just stupid! AFUCKINGPARENTLY I have no idea that I DID IN FACT see my grill sitting there when I took the dogs out at noon, that NOPE, I DIDN'T .... thieves only take things like this at night!
I KNOW ..... My grill was there.

Either way, there is nothing they can do. I didn't see who took it, there for it is what it is. He will file a report, but most likely nothing will be found. Gave me advice
NEXT TIME
Chain it to your porch :)

Sigh ... I shouldn't have to chain it to my porch, and I wont have a grill anytime soon anyway. Grills are not cheap and frankly I have bills to pay, I can't just buy another fucking grill.

He also assures me ... KIDS ARE BACK IN SCHOOL NOW, the crime will die down. WTF really? What a useless cop! Cops like his, are the reason no one gives a shit about cops these days. Insensitive.
I get that they see this all the time, but the people going through it, clearly do not.

Either way ... I feel violated. FUNNY, how something as STUPID AS A DAMNED GRILL can make someone feel, suddenly UNSAFE in their own home.

I am just glad I locked the door yesterday.

Boy its been a long August!

I swear this August has been the busiest month for me. With summer coming to an end, school beginning and all that comes with school, getting up early, band practices, fighting with the girls to actually attend school. It just seems like it has lasted an eternity.

Been going through some medical issues lately, Nothing I really want to talk about just yet, but it is also a very big reason why I have been feeling so stressed out lately. Along with just exhausted! I am so tired. I could get a full nights rest and wake up ready for bed.

See that pup there in the picture? His name is Silas. That poor pup was so mistreated. His whole life has been void of love, and caring. He is a foster. He came to me barely unable to walk, the previous person caring for him had starved him. He was locked in an outside crate with no human contact and has suffered physical abuse. BREAKS MY HEART to know that people can do this. I freaking seriously dislike people at times. I would choose an animal over a person anytime. There are no hidden agendas ..... just pure love.

Either way .... this foster pup soon as he arrived I was on a mission to show him how he should have been treated. I swear, this dog just doesn't know how to be a dog. Didn't know what playing was. Its been a couple of weeks now, he has come a long way, and I was thinking he should be a FAILED FOSTER! meaning .... I would keep him. Should be foster but he needs to be family.

I got hit in the face with reality of THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON .... just maybe not the reason you think it should happen.

I swear, I was like ... seeing that picture on Dee Dee's page and taking him in, it was meant. He was meat to be mine. Turns out, I was wrong. I have already found a family for Silas. A couple who just lost their dog "Their baby." When nick told me they wanted to adopt him, I was like NO! I was finding any reason what so ever on why they cant. But when you see a womans heart break, and know that the only way she will heal, is having something to love .... and knowing Silas ONLY wants to be love and needs a lot of it, if he was to come out of this pity mess he had become due to his past. The instant love .... I knew the reason Silas had come to me. He wasn't for me ... just for me to save and keep safe while the stars were arranging his true fait.

I am still sad, he isn't even gone yet ... but I feel that void.  let my heart completely fall in love with this pup. He really is one of those dogs who only want love. Marley ... that's my dog. I swear all he cares about is treats! Food seems to rule his life, he is so busy running around being crazy for food that he hardly ever just lays his head in your lap.
Silas .... could care less about treats, even though I am forever trying to get him to eat them anyways .... we are still working on upping his weight. He was skin and bones when he got here. But this dog, LEGIT only wants to be pet.

 I read an article once saying dogs don't like hugs .... This dog, yearns for them. I have never seen a dog smile "Sept for Marley when he is about to go outside for the first time of the day, or you just got home from a long day out." But Silas .... you can see sheer happiness in his eyes. Sounds silly maybe but you can see his heart through his eyes. Maybe its hope. He has such a strong loving spirit.

Either way ... lesson there. Things do happen or a reason, maybe not the way you want them to happen, but the things that happen, deff serve a purpose.


It's Friday ..... I am so thankful. First week of back to school has been accomplished and its a three day weekend. I very much so look forward to sleeping in.

Today is britt's first game where she will be marching in band for. I am so excited for her. I still have not wrapped it around in my head that she is in high school now.

I am seriously feeling so old.

Thanks for stopping by and hanging out with me for a little while, I sure hope that you are having a good day :)

Phytoceramides Skin Therapy Supplement Review.

Okay .... If you are like me, you are thinking "Botox in a bottle? Yeah right!"




WRONG!





Dr. Oz wasn't lying about a few of his rants and raves.


First, This isn't a magic cure for age. It will not take you back 30 years. You will not go from looking 60 to looking 40. Here is what it does do.

One, I noticed better tone. This pill does what toners claim to do. But you do not have to risk a skin reaction by trying multiple products.

Two, I did notice my face tighten. I will not lie and say that it took away a double chin, or sagging under eye circles, But I did feel it tighten. Which the odd thing about that was that it still felt pliable.

Let me think of how to explain this,

You know mud masks? How when you leave them on for the ten minutes your face feels right and stiff, you can literally see your eye brows raised because that mask is pulling your face. Well, it feels like a light version of that, but at the same time, your face is moisturized. It doesn't feel dry .... just, ugh, I wish I could explain this better. You feel closer to your skin.
So I do believe it is doing something.

It is not drastically noticeable to the eye, as it is to how you feel in your skin.

I did notice that I felt fuller. I have bad under eye circles so my face tends to look sunken in. But any angle I went for while taking that selfie, was an okay angle.

It is not a miracle worker, but it does change the appearance of your skin slightly. I still have crows feet, they didn't disappear, but they aren't as defined either. Maybe this mixed with a few other things I have been trying together have found a way to work.

all in all, my skin feels healthier. I still look like I am aging, but I love the way my skin feels.

Best Nut Milk Bag

The title says it all .... It really is the best.



I have never really been one to make my own juice, but since I have been on a health kick, I have been giving it a try. I had a new juicer (In the since that you squeeze and orange on this little orange thing, etc. I do not have the expensive ones.)



Either way ... I juiced a few oranges and Wooohoo, orange juice. Although, I was not good at it. I have serious issues with texture and every time a string or clump of orange hit my throat, I gagged ... to the point of yaking.

I saw this nut bag ... read what it was about and thought "What have I got to lose?"

When it came in the mail, I was excited. Mainly because I had given up trying to make my own juice until it got here. Morning rituals of almost getting sick was not really my idea of awesome.

So I squeezed the oranges .... pour the juice in this back, and squeezed it into my cup. It said you only have to do it once. but I did it twice, JUST IN CASE. It's really not a big time difference.

Either way... NO CLUMPS!! I made juice! I made juice that I could drink! I did my little nerdy dance and then made another cup. Not because I needed it. But because I could.

FIRST THING I LEARNED ABOUT WASHING THIS ... Don't stick it in the washer. AND IF YOU DO, don't use fabric softner. You can deff taste it!

I would suggest hand washing it, dish soap and make sure that it is completely rinsed before making some juice.

Next thing .... I haven't noticed any build up, any molds .. so it really is reusable!

I haven't used it for coffee yet, but I pretty much plan on trying it with everything.

YOU ARE NOT wasting your money when you get this thing! It is worth it!

If you are interested in getting one of these for yourself .... I have a contest on facebook going!

Perfect Probiotic review

I decided to give these a try, While I did get a free bottle, it had not yet arrived. Luckily I had a friend who has been using it had a bottle and gave it over.

 .... I have been dealing with depression lately, and the stuff my doctor prescribes makes me feel numb. In fact, I do not feel like myself at all.



This stuff was supposed to improve your mood, and I thought. Hmmmmm ... what the hell. Lets give it a shot.



Bonus on top was that it also was supposed to relieve a sensitive stomach, I have issues with that, it seems everything I eat upsets my stomach, so this was a big bonus.

Another plus ... it is supposed to help you lose weight. Which I really just need help maintaining.

FIRST OFF ....... I did notice that I had more energy which in turn made me less grumpy, less mopey. I was tired, extreme tired by the end of the day. But they helped me get through my day.

Second ... there are still foods that did upset my stomach, but I noticed that I wasn't as harsh. I wasn't doubled over in pain. It was not a cure, but did make it more tolerable.

Weightloss .... not so much. But then again, I was not dieting. I ate whatever I wanted and I was not trying to lose weight.

I will not say that these are great for depression. But I think for a normal person who is not going through depression. I think they would improve their mood ABSOLUTELY!

I think that someone trying to lose weight on top of the rest ... could get good benefits. It does curb an appetite slightly. But I would not choose these for weightloss alone.

Its not  a cure for IBS or anything ...... but it does help. I do not understand how. But it does.
While these are not for me exactly. I do think that they could benefit others. It benefits sarah, she has been using them for about 3 months. According to her, it took roughly 2 and a half months to start seeing full benefits. So you have it ... someone it REALLY WORKED FOR, and is still working, and someone who tried it a month, had so so results and might have had better results if I had continued.

Ageless by Thera Vita Review

Okay .... so we have tried them all. Serums, creams, etc. Trying to reduce the appearance of age. I myself have been fighting the battle to keep youth alive. So I am willing to try anything.



First thing, the smell. Smells a lot like sunscreen. You get hints of lavender and what smells to me sage once it is soothed into the skin.. It isn't a bad smell at all. But it is definitely not odorless.



Second thing, is the bottle.... If you are like me and a sucker for packaging. This one does not fall short in appealing to the eye. Silly as it sounds, it reminds me of the movie "Jurassic park." You know the shaving bottle that has all the tubes in it that contain the secrets of life "At least of those dinosaurs. That's what holding that bottle in your hand feels like. Futuristic. Like it contains magic. Or like a baton during a  relay race. Either way, I love both of those things. I have issues maybe. But the silver and the design, it just feels like that to me.

Texture on your face. You get a cool wet feeling at first that soothes into nothing. Feels like nothing. I use this when I am going makeup less, because even though you can not feel it on your face, it just feels fresh.

I do not know if it is this stuff alone, or the fact that I also use vitamin c serums, and exfoliate daily. But I do see a difference. I was seriously thinking about holding onto that resting "B" Face so that I could keep my face line free, but with the routine I have been doing mixed with this stuff, I think a few smiles here and there will be just tine.

I notice a difference mainly around my eyes, The circles under my eyes are less evident and the crows feet seem less deep. I do not know how to say that correctly. They do not seem as indented.

Fact is ... I love it. I would recommend it alone for how fresh your face feels. But I do in fact see a difference in lines. I can not say that it would take them directly. But after a few weeks of using it, it has smoothed them out. Kind of like using an air brush, the lines are still there, but less noticeable.

Terry Treetop "Where is my home?" Book Review.

We are definitely big fans of the terry treetop series in this house. My daughter Avery LOVES them!



This one is just as well written and easy to follow for young ones as the last few we have read by this author.



This one explores the curious nature of a child, and how something as being curious about a beautiful butterfly can lead them astray to where they find themselves lost.


In this story, you follow terry treetop on an adventure "Finding his way home." He meets a ton of interesting creatures along the way, trying new foods "Thanks to being lost at lunch time." Each and every friend he meets along the way is kind and caring,

finally he comes across a friend who tells him how to get home .... But what it really takes is his favorite all time love "CLIMBING TREES" to truly find his way home.

Once he makes it home he sees again the beautiful butterfly that had led him on his lost adventure. But decides this time, to stay home.

Really is a cute story for kids. My 7 year old thought it was adorable. Her favorite parts where when terry tried different foods and realized they were not for him.

We are big fans of terry treetop, I am pretty sure we always will be.

A strange dream

A dream type diary entry ....... I would like to look this up on dream moods later to see what it means. If it means anything.

The Dream

 

I’m in a room … surrounded by people. We are drinking, Something sweet, and pink. Was delicious. Next thing I know there is a lady who makes another drink, I go to down it like the first one. But this one was different. Pungent. Like a shot of soy sauce. Wasn’t as tasty. I asked her what she put in it … she said something, I think she said papaya, I don’t know. But it seemed legit in the dream. It might not have been papaya, but it was something that started with a p.

Bradly cooper is standing next to me … he is not there with me, but I am getting to know him through someone else. “I say “Balls! I think I dropped something, but I am no longer sure. It has been awhile since I have been awake.

He copies what I say … there is laughter. It is a friendly environment. But I do not really know anyone.

Im skyping …. I don’t know the person. He is asking, do you like golf? I explain I am a  mini golf girl … because I suck at golf. Always lose my balls. “Maybe that’s where I said balls, I dropped something then.”

Either way ….. I am in a middle of an empty room, people are ALL AROUND WATCHING. I can not see them, but I know they are there. I know they are watching. There Is a faceless man …. He is in the next room dancing with a girl. I know this man, but yet I don’t.  I am dancing alone. I FEEL MY ANGER GROW … he is ruining it.

In the dream … he is supposed to be my dance partner. I do not understand why he is dancing with her when he knows he should be with me.

I’m in the center of the room … spinning in circles. Faster and faster. I can feel myself getting dizzy, I know I am about to take a tumble. Just as I begin to fall, I feel his hand. He twirls towards me. There is a lovely dance. Swung in the air in twirls. The dance itself feels like love. He tilts me over for a kiss, I hear the words of the song. “I will always love you.”

“When I woke, this song was bugging the shit out of me, I knew it, but can not place it. TURNS OUT it was Miley cyrus WRECKING BALL.”

Either way …. I am suddenly outside, the rain is pouring, I am placing a child in a car, his or her mother … saying goodbye.

Lightning, I look up… I am surrounded by lightning. I grab the hand of this man and lead him to safety, to watch the storm pass.

 

Next thing I know, I am walking into the bathroom, there is nick. He has a tissue to his face. He has cut his face shaving. He removes the tissue to see if the bleeding has stopped. There is a huge strip of flesh missing from his face. Its gushing blood. I tell him … LEAVE IT THERE, Do not take it off. Its going to take awhile to heal. But he would be fine.

 

Then I woke. Nick woke me up to tell me he was off to work. SUCH A STRANGE DREAM.

2 Hyaluronic Acid Review

If you know my blog or have happened across it once or twice, then you know how big of a fan I am of vitamin C serums, What I didn't know, is how much more I could love them when combining them with a hyaluronic acid serum.




First off ... I am a sucker for packaging, and this stuff comes in the cutest little bottle!



Second, with all things, I notice smell first. Right off the bat I noticed this brand had a smell stronger than ANY, I have ever tried. and I have tried a ton of brands. "I will say, that I have never not liked a brand." However I am also saying that this brand stands alone as my go to. Okay, back to smell. I had 3 people including me in this house smell this stuff and I got three different answers. I guess it all depends on the nose. My husband "Who works in aviation" Thinks it smells like electrical fire. My daughter "14" Thinks it smells like baby dolls .... I have to admit that I will go with my daughter on this one. Grab a new baby "Not the new ones where they make everything smell powder fresh, but the OLD TIME DOLLS we used to play with." Smells like a plastic of sorts. Not bad though.

Next is the consistency of the acid serum. It is like Defibrillator gel (the gel they put under the stickers before attaching wires to your heart.) Or for you pervs out there like me ... "Pink, the lube for her." Not jelly like KY ... but not thin enough as oil. OKAY, I GOT IT ... Think Aloe in the squeeze bottle!

The consistency kind of threw me. I wasn't sure how that was going to feel on my face, but I gave it a go anyway. LOVE IT, feels like nothing. At first you get this burst of cool gel on your face that dissolves into nothing. If it wasn't for the fact that I have their Vitamin c serum to go on top, I would have left my face as is and not added anything. My skin felt so fresh.

Their vitamin C serum also has a stronger scent than most ... SMELLS like sweet bubbles. I actually really love the smell of it. It goes on like water and dries rather quickly.

Now ... why do I like these together?

I had a bad reaction to a face cleaner "Some cheap dollar store brand." My skin was dry and flakey. I was using Vitamin E oil to moisturize ... but even that wasn't helping. I literally had dry patches all over my face. I was kind of embarrassed to be seen.

I used this stuff ... I admit it took about 3 days for me to see a change. But those flaky patches went rather fast. AFTER WEEKS of trying to moisturize them away. This stuff just took them away like they were nothing. My face had been feeling dry ..... even vitamin e oil did not make my face feel unstiff. This stuff ... even before the vitamin c serum felt so moisturized. So nice and refreshed. I didn't feel I needed the vitamin c. However I used it anyway, because vitamin c serums have been keeping my pimple days down to a minimum. Not really willing to go back to those days.

All in all .. this stuff is amazing! I absolutely love it. I use it and will continue to!

The Amazing Miracle Cleanse Review.

Being a lady ... this is quite embarrassing. HOWEVER, for those out there who might be suffering from, constipation, bloating or gas and have not found a product that will work for you. I am here to tell you about one that does 100 % of what it says that it will.



This has also helped with weight loss for those who were interested in knowing if that part on the label held true.



It is a 15 days cleanse. You take two capsules for 15 days. I am here to say ... SAVE SOME MONEY. Only take 1 pill for 15 days. It is so strong, you only need one pill. Then you will have 15 more for a second cleanse a few months later.

Day one ... I was bloated, embarrassingly gassy and hopeful it would work, so I popped the pill. Nothing that night. I went to sleep, thinking ... I will need a few days worth to get things going. NOPE .... the very next morning. I was good to go. "No need to go into gross details." But it worked. It cleans the pipes. if you know what I mean.

I did not get cramps, or any stomach pain .... but I was regular. Which for me was new ... sometimes I would go 4 to 8 days without going at all.

I noticed my stomach flatten a bit "So did my husband, who now makes jokes that I didn't need to lose weight ... I was just full of s***. Sigh ... MEN! They can be so embarrassing.

I did lose weight .... a total of 11 pounds in 15 days. So, it does work for that.

SOME THINGS I LEARNED NOT TO DO WITH THESE .......

Do not enjoy salsa and chips, and do not enjoy oreos and milk. That was a no no. Instant bathroom issues. I would suggest eating healthy. Not too much fruit. and drink LOTS of water. When I did start to feel crampy, a glass of water did the trick to help.

all in all, I am not gassy. I do no feel bloated and I am regular, which is good for health. So these get a thumbs up big time. NOT TO MENTION the 11 pound weight loss is pretty awesome too.

TheraRelief Review.

After a long restless night of no sleep ... greeted with the agony of a stiff pain filled neck *due* to sleeping wrong during the few moments I found to rest. I was BEYOND happy to find this stuff sitting in my mail box today.



Lets start with the basics of what I noticed first.




SMELL! I always, ALWAYS notice smell first. It says that it is odor less, however this stuff smells a lot like crayons. Or silly putty. Play-doh maybe.  It is not over powering, and its not terrible. But it does in fact have an odor. "I didn't mind it." It's not a scent that makes you recoil. BESIDES....When you hear what I have to say next. You will not care about the smell.

Does it massage away pain? I am going to say yes. I was literally complaining about my neck 7 minutes prior to using this stuff on my neck. "Grant you, it wasn't the pain where if you moved your neck to one side it felt like it was breaking - More of a dull ache." But pain none the less.

Massaged the stuff in ... neck is fine. Noticing pain in my elbows due to the fact that I do not hold the dumbbell correctly when exercising. Going to try it on that ... and tell you if I think it will work for all pain.

YES! -- I realize you can not see the time lapse, but I am going to say that I can bend my elbow. No pain ... rubbed it on my shoulder and side of neck as well ... It feels fine.

I am noticing that it doesn't last LONG .... it says once a day. But my neck started hurting again so I applied a little more.

The thera relief has the consistency of pudding ... literally feel like I was dipping my fingers in pudding. Feels like regular lotion when applying it. No mask like feeling afterwards. "Like with some creams you can feel a thick layer. not with this stuff."

I did use this on an old knee injury from my track days .... This stuff works better on my knee than icy hot or those heating pads. So I think I will continue to get it for bad knee days alone. "Smells so much better than icy hot." And BONUS my cat doesn't try to attack me when she smells this stuff. Other creams , I become a victim of rage.

I like this stuff. Specially for my knee. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Garcinia Cambogia Review.

I do not think that I will ever blog a negative thing about the garcinia cambogia pills.

ONE: I always feel so energetic when I take them. It boosts my mood.
TWO: I do see a change in my weight when I take them as suggested.
THREE: Because really FOR ME, there isn't anything negative to say.

It is not secret that I am constantly looking for that magic pill to help me get back to where I want to be. Before the steroids, before the kids, before they brought back twinkies!

There is no magic pill.

It really does come down to diet and exercise. So I will not lie and say that these are magic and you will lose a ton of weight. Because that is not what these do.

What the do, DO ... is help you control your hunger. Honestly before taking these, I would eat and eat and eat, Even if I was full. Because I am a food lover and food tastes good. But these, they do not allow you to do it. IF YOU IGNORE the message that is being sent to your body ... you will regret it. I ate a couple of oreo's after knowing that I wasn't hungry ... because I wanted dessert. HUGE MISTAKE. I felt bloated and icky for a few hours after.  SO DO NOT IGNORE the full feelings just because you want to taste something.

These are great at teaching you how to read your bodies hunger signs. They make it impossible to over eat. IN TURN help you lose weight. These are a stepping stone, its really up to you to allow it to help you.

STRESSED to the MAX

I have never in my recent life, felt as stressed as I feel right now. "I am sure there have been times that equal or even surpass the stress levels of today, but today ... I can only look back so far."

Okay ... so its no surprise to moms out there who might be reading this, But SUMMER, Brings MESS! and that mess from three kids who have seem to neglected to gain the ability to pick up after themselves .... is a constant mess.

I am one of those people who have to do things in a certain order, or I freak out.  "My list."

Clean the house

Get all the stuff for the garage sale ready and clean

Finish the laundry so I can go through it, that way I can bag some for the "Donate box at food lion"

call around and get quotes from plumbers so we can tie in to the sewer company

Call the water company to see if we can arrange some payment deal because a 200 dollar tap fee on top of the money we have to spend tying in, is too much at the moment, ESPECIALLY with back to school.

Finish editing so I can publish

Figure out how to get britt back and forth to marching band practice.

There is a lot more to that list ... but this is just to show a point.

First thing, I did not get all the laundry done. I barely got my own laundry done. I am literally bumming around in sleep pants because my time is so limited.

Cleaning - WAS going well, and then my AC broke in 95 degree weather :( bringing my motivation to an absolute HALT!
"I got it done decently so, as in ... enough to feel okay with getting the stuff from upstairs that we planned on putting out at the garage sale."

I realize that a garage sale should be easy! Got some stuff? Put a tag on it, set it out and see if people want to buy the junk you no longer care about. BULL! A lot more complicated than that. Or maybe I just made it more complicated than it had to be. I just know that I was freaking the fuck out about it.
Not to mention I am shy ...
So when car after car and people after people flooded in, I literally got Closter phobic.

That was finally over ... Didn't reach goal on it, but didn't really care. Made a few extra bucks by selling what we would have eventually just donated or thrown away later.

Then comes getting the AC fixed .. called Monday when it broke, guy said sometime Friday, Friday afternoon came, NO GUY, NO CALL ... so I called and he was like OH YEAH, I FORGOT. you forgot? REALLY?? WTF ..... but I was like okay, well, I will forget to give you good marks when I call the warranty company you were hired through and get you taken off the list of contractors they work with, seeing how you are incompetent at being professional.
OKAY ... I didn't say that ... but I thought it. and I would have reported him.
I said it was fine  ... he came late that evening. It got fixed ... and I forgot how aggravated I was about it all because finally I had cool air.

Then comes PLUMBERS! ... My freaking world FIRST BITCH! I do not think that it is fair for a county to lay sewer lines in a residential area ... THEN FORCE them to tie in. I was perfectly happy with my septic tank! SECOND BITCH, now, not only will I have a water bill but it will be doubled thanks to sewer. OH, and there is a separate fee if you water your grass.

So my husband talked to the guy from trinity plumbing. Quoted nick at 950. WITH the permit. We didn't like it. still quite high for us. WE DON'T HAVEA  LOT OF MONEY. as anyone who isn't rich with more than one kid can tell you. CALLED AROUND and was not willing to pay the 1500 we were quoted. I was so fed up looking , I just went with tony. WHO this morning says, I am sorry ... I looked at the wrong house when I quoted you that 50. Yours is actually farther away so it will be an extra 2 hundred plus 50 for the permit .... ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? I do not have that! I don't. School starts in less than 21 days ... I still have to get clothes, backpacks, pens, paper, lunch boxes. ETC. I can't afford this shit. NOT TO MENTION that Christmas is just around the corner!

AND ON TOP OF PAYING THEM TO TIE IN .... I have an automatic 200 tap fee added onto my water bill.
I COULD FUCKING CRY!

Spoke to the water company ... they are somewhat willing to work with me on it. They will let me pay it in installments, but if I do not do it on their exact dates ... water gets shut off, and will not be turned back on, until all fees are met. PLUS A RECONNECT FEE.

basically ... I am paying 1500 anyway :(

Nick is having a bitch of a time at work ... so leaving work to take britt to marching band is a hassle, one in which he can get in trouble for and who knows. EVENTUALLY FIRED FOR ... We don't have a second car so I can't do it. ARRRRGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH! "

I would sit down and edit ... but right now I am so frustrated ... I wouldn't see the many mistakes that are no doubt there.

I just wish the world would stop for a moment ...I need things to slow down. CALM DOWN, and for fucking once in my life  START FALLING INTO PLACE in a good way.

I'm so worn the hell out .....................

So that's me, I sure am hoping that who ever came across this is having a better time. If not, feel free to bitch and complain to me about it. I'll grab some ice cream and we can have a pity party!
