I’ve been looking for the best eye cream for dark circles under my eyes for a while. There are some mornings I wake up and I am vibrant and my eyes look and feel rested. Other mornings I have no idea what happened, or I had a rough night of sleep and I am in need of something! What is your go to product for dark eye circles?

I think that people are afraid of addiction. But more so they are afraid of rehab. Addiction is a disease and it tears many families apart. Many people lose jobs, spouses, families, personal belongings, etc while dealing with an addiction. I believe that rehab is a great way for people to start the healing process. I understand that a lot of drugs carry severe withdraw symptoms. That is probably the most painful thing for a lot of people. I think rapid detox is a GREAT alternative for people worried about withdraw. Addiction doesn’t happen overnight and neither will the healing process. However, being healed in a controlled setting is much less painful and seemingly more effective for a lot of people!

I believe that you can look younger. The average person can look much younger with NO surgical procedures. I am a huge fan of anti wrinkle face cream and other “lifting” lotions. I use a daily night cream and under eye treatment ever night. At almost 31 I STILL get the “get out” response when I tell people my age. I am glad for this and I will never stop believing that it is because of the years of creams I’ve used to help preserve my skin! Worth every single penny!

This past week we evaluated our personal life insurance and began shopping around for some cheap life insurance for me. Hubby has some life insurance through work but there is no option for him to cover his spouse. I am self employed and because of that I don’t have the option through and employer. I think it’s a good idea that the family has something to fall back on if I should pass for whatever reason so looking into an option is something that we have decided to do. I haven’t decided on a company or plan just yet, but looking into things is a first step!

So everytime you hit the scale, you really want to see that magical number. I always think in my head… -10 please. Even though I have done nothing that would warrent the minus 10, I just feel the scale should show SOME mercy over the years. It only seems fair, right? For some people they’ve turned to excersise, some to weight loss pills, some to other things, but for me I just remain hopeful that some day the scale will bless me with my minus 10 wish and everything will be okay!! HAHA! Never hurt to be optimistic, right?

There are some things people love talking about and some things people HATE talking about. Did you ever notice that? I can start a conversation pretty quickly with a complete stranger. I can also get my friends out the complete most odd conversations they have ever been in with a few words. Start talking about your health, or their health, or health related things in general. People will run from the situation at the very first chance they have. Even further more, talk about the all famous Opera and Dr Oz’s colon cleanse and you will soon be talking to yourself. I know, it’s a never fail. Next time you want to be left alone, just pop in and start talking about it. PROMISE, it works like a CHARM!!

Today I was checking out buy.com. I have a laptop. I use it for alot of stuff and I rarely have time to let anyone else on it. The kids are always on the desktop… one of them. So I was looking into a solution for hubby. Usually he uses his phone, which is a PDA to check his email, but sometimes he would like to browse the net. I don’t forsee spending the money on a laptop for him since he really doesn’t need all the capabilities of a computer. He doesn’t use them… only the internet. I really want a Macbook someday and then that would mean he could have my laptop, but being that is a costly purchase, an alternative is a netbook. I was browsing through the netbooks. I was suprised at how cost efficent they really are. And they certainly would work for everything he would need. Does anyone have any personal experience with these? I’d love to hear it!!

How many of these do you by? I’ve seen so many of the Celebs fad diets on the cover of OK! Magazine, People, etc and I am beginning to wonder how many of them actually are legite. How many of them really work and how many of them are just a lie and the celebs really are just working out and cutting back. Some of the diets include a hard workout and some include diet pills, like Fentraphen. I personally have dealt with a weight loss journey. It took me a little better then 6 months to lose 26 pounds. I was on a strict diet and worked out at least 3 times a week. I think that it is possible for you to lose more then that in a shorter time, but is it healthy? I would have to question that. I know my doctors questioned the loss and they were concerned because it was fast. I don’t think it was that fast. But that is because I was going through the dieting and the excersing and what not… Anyone else have input?

It’s October. It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month!! I’ve put up my Breast Cancer Awareness layout and went PINK for October. I urge all of my readers to take this month, and EVERY month, serious and hug your boobies!! Do you checks!! This is something that is very treatable if it’s detected early. Let me share a few very eye opening statistics with you: Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. Breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in Hispanic women. It is the second most common cause of cancer death in white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native women. In 2004 (the most recent year numbers are available), 186,772 women and 1,815 men were diagnosed with breast cancer – 40,954 women and 362 men died from breast cancer. It was The 6 highest cause of death in woman!! Statistics taken from here.

This is so heartbreaking. I am not saying that we can stop this 100% but I whole heartly believe we can reduce these numbers by early detection and self exams. I personally do mine, and I do them EVERY month not just in October… I encourage everyone else to do the same.

I went on Amazon and found some neat little Breast Cancer Awareness goodies… I found an adorable Care Bear that is a special edition. Is this not the most adorable ever?!?!

I linked the image to the item in case you want to check it out. I want to order this bag…

I love it!! Again the image is linked!! I would so use it at the gym!! I need a new gym bacg too. So If any of my readers are feeling fab and want to donate it to me!! LOL I would forever love you!! Okay well that’s enough of me and my Public Service Announcement!! Seriously girls… a few minutes could save you a lifetime!! *wink*

In other news, I seen information about a Subway Franchise. I think this would be the coolest business to have. You could have some serious business. And it’s healthy!!! That is right up my ally!!

It’s a boring weekend here. Not too much happening. My hubby has to work all weekend so I am home with the kids. I hate weekends like that, but it’s expecially bad this weekend.  I’ve been in the house all week long because I’ve been sick and this weekend we really can’t do anything. It’s raining and it’s not looking promising for tomorrow to be not either. Oh well. It will certainly not go down as a weekend ruined. I am planning to tackle a few of the chores I let slide all week long because I was sick. I managed a couple loads of laundry today and I mopped the dining room floor. I also spent some time online catching up on emails and other commitments I had here. So that was nice.

On another note, I talked to my mom today. Her and my dad are pretty upset. They are hurt and a bunch of other emotions. My dad has not talked to my brother since he moved in here. My mom has but my brother has been pretty closed. He’s been in my opinion a little rude at times. He does feel like he’s on his own and he shouldn’t need to rely on them for things. So he is trying not too.  However, he is taking things, in my opinion, a little over the top. My mom brought him over some new t-shirts, socks, and boxers. He was rude and told her he didn’t need them and he didn’t want them. He DID need them. She also brought him a pair of work pants. He did the same thing again. She’s hurt. I understand. I told her to stop bringing him things, but at the same time she doesn’t want too. She feels bad and she is all sorts of hurt because he is not at home. She’s not ready to let go… she’s sad… she cries alot. I am torn… I don’t know how to act and be. I try to call her and my dad and give them updates with how he’s doing so they don’t worry, even though I know they still will. I am also trying to be there for my brother too. I just don’t know.

On Thursday my brother got in an accident. He may need to contact a truck accident lawyer. He hid a school bus. YEAH! He drives a tiny little geo metro and he hit a SCHOOL BUS! Granted he was only going like 2mph and so was the bus, but it was still the fact of the matter. BOTH of them were at fault and I guess no tickets were issued but my mom and dad are worried. They don’t want it to effect their insurance. See, they have to cover him under THEIR insurance until he is 18. Then he can be on his own. I guess we will see what happens. He is okay and the car is okay and the bus is okay and everyone inside is too.

I tried to dye my hair today too. Red in the front. This isn’t a first time. I’ve had it done in the salon before but I wanted it a brighter red. I also wanted the red “chunk” to be bigger. Well I managed to get the chunk bigger but I didn’t get it brighter. I need to go to the salon supply store I think and find some TRUE red color. It will probably be a bright shock then though, but we will see. My natural color being brown it really blends in and it’s hard to see. Anyhow… Last night was a long long night. I am looking forward to getting a full nights sleep tonight. The dog was up last night and my friend’s little girl was here and she was up at 3am giggling in the living room. It was a long night… anyhow… I am off to rest before the week starts tomorrow… I can’t WAIT for school tomorrow!!
