I have a treadmill and well, that’s about all I can say about it is that I have it. I’ve attempted to use it a few times but honestly, I am in serious need of a complete fitness overhaul.
Not only do I need to learn to eat better, rest more, exercise more and just generally find a way to relax, I also need to get the world out and find some refurbished fitness equipment so I can get what I need without having to pay full price.
My 5-year-old asked for a pillow for Christmas. I still can’t be sure why he asked for a pillow but he also asked for a new pillow case. I happen to have 2 real big compulsions. One of them is buying toothbrushes. I simply like to have a new one quite often and if anyone is sick, everyone around here gets a new toothbrush.
And, pillows is another big deal in our house. I personally would purchase new pillows about every 3 months if I could. And, I have been known to do so. If we get sick, and by that I mean, more than a brief cold or virus, you can guarantee I am tossing new pillows in my buggy on my next trip to the store.
And, a mattress cover that helps protect against allergens is definitely one of my high priority purchases. If you haven’t done your research and heard about all the great (ok, not great) animals and allergens living on your pillow and in your mattress, take a look at this video and then come back and tell me you don’t feel compelled to go right now and buy new pillows.
See, I wasn’t kidding. I am definitely excited about the possibility of receiving a set of allergy pillows for my family because as I type this, my five-year-old is lying down with the sniffles. And, really, that kid never has a slow down be quiet moment and for him to just lie down on his own is just one sign that there is a huge problem.
What do think? Do you have any abnormal purchasing fetishes….
Notice the trend around here. It seems I can always tell you about my husband’s acne and my own struggles with weight. I have a blog where I discuss weight loss often and to be honest with you, I’m not doing too good at taking off the weight. With the TMJ surgery and the no chewing rules, I’m eating ice cream at an alarming rate.
I do keep my eyes peeled for the best weight loss supplement that I can find and I’ve tried many. I think I have to find something to help me change my taste buds though, I just can’t seem to get past the fact that I would rather ice cream than yogurt. Yea, who doesn’t have that preference right?
If there are weight loss drugs out there, I’ve probably tried them. And to be honest, most of the ones that you need a doctor’s prescription to buy aren’t even hard to get when you are as big a I am. So the idea of finding phentermine without prescription is even more exciting news for me to find.
I know that medication isn’t the best or only method to use for losing weight but for the most part, I can’t seem to get motivated to do much else.
Yea I know, it’s all weight loss and acne around here these days but honestly, that’s what’s happening. My husband and his acne, me and my weight and oh now you get to hear about the gray hair I keep finding. What in the world is a girl to do about this horrible aging process. Ok, so I know it’s better than the alternative but it’s going to cause me to need to have my hair highlighted more than 2 times a year.
And, anti ageing creams are always on my list for “look-out” and find something to help with these laugh lines too. Honestly who wants to deal with aging, acne and weight gain all at one time.
I’ve talked about this before but my husband suffered from acne as a teenager. I, on the other hand, basically managed to get out of puberty unscathed. But, the horrible part is that he also has problems now. We’ve searched high and low an adult acne treatment and honestly, they simply aren’t that easy to find. And, often times, what’s good for a teenager simply doesn’t do the trick on adults.
We have 2 boys and one of them has really sensitive skin and I really suspect that he is going to be in for the long haul when it comes to acne in a few years.

Those gray hairs, the laugh lines, the saggy areas, the cellulite…OUCH! Getting older is a blow to the ego. And, if you are like most people, at the first sign of aging you start to look through the numerous wrinkle cream reviews in search of the one product that can set you free.
I’m not sure that it’s completely possible to be released of your inhibitions about growing old but at least if you have the added benefit of knowing you are doing as much as possible for your skin, you have made a step toward a more enjoyable state of aging.
I remember those early days when I found out I was pregnant with our first child. The nausea, oh the dreaded nausea. I remember going to great lengths to keep any food or liquid on my stomach.
Pregnant women in general often find themselves in that state of complete joy and spend a great deal of time trying to make sure that the foods they eat are beneficial to both them and their baby. And, prenatal vitamins are just one more piece of the puzzle that adds to the worries of the newly pregnant woman.
