Old, Me??

I never thought of myself as getting older but I think that I am ready to admit that I am. The years are starting to show on my face and I need to start doing something about it before it is entirely too late. I have been online looking at anti aging beauty products today. There are so many available it is hard to know which one to try. Which ever one I choose, it is probably better than doing nothing at all, right?

This Guy Is Amazing

I see a lot of videos, they get passed around twitter every day. Some are good and some are bad but I'm not usually motivated to share them with you. This one is different. The things that this guy does are amazing. Watch the video, it's worth it.

I'm Not Alone

I am not alone in feeling pudgy after all of the holiday feasting. I just spoke with a good friend who is feeling the same way. We have different approaches as to how we are addressing it. I am going with a healthier diet and exercise, she is trying quick trim to lose the weight. I told her to be sure and let me know how it goes, if it works for her I may need to go buy some.

His Beauty Advisor

I never knew when I got married that I was expected to be my husband's beauty adviser. I've learned a lot of things about male vanity, guess I was under the false impression that men aren't concerned about that stuff. My husband certainly is!

He is constantly asking me questions about hair care or skin care. Recently he asked me about how to get rid of blackheads. I never had them so I don't know. He was shocked at that answer. Men expect us to know everything about beauty so I guess the assumptions go both ways.

MLK JR. Day

We are observing Martin Luther King Jr. Day here in the US. I hope people take a minute to think about the man and what the day is about. It's not just about a national holiday.

I grew up in Memphis and was a witness to much of what is spoken of today. I remember the marches, the strikes and the riots. I also remember the day that he was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in downtown Memphis.

He was a great man that was taken too young but his words live on....remember him today.

After Holiday Blues

I think I have a case of after the holiday blues. It didn't help that we had an unprecedented cold wave and I spent two weeks in the house. My mood is directly tied to the amount of sunshine that I soak up, that's one of the reasons I live in Florida.

I have decided to get myself out of this funk so I am making some changes. I am cleaning up my diet but I plan o start with some colon cleansing pills first to get things off to a good start. I've already started walking. Hopefully this program will brighten things up for me.
