I'm going to take a moment to complain yet again! My birthday is coming up, and I'll be 37 years old. That is just too old to still be living with zits! Honestly, weren't they supposed to head for the hills when I "grew up"? I've been waiting and trying every all the new natural acne treatments I can find, but nothing seems to work. I wash, rinse, mask and moisturize every night, but to no avail! I guess it's time to find something new!
I've been a member of an online book club, and have really enjoyed getting back into reading books. Last month we read a book called "Goose Girl" by Shannon Hale, and it was wonderful. Luckily there are two books left in the trilogy, so I will be picking them both up later today to read. With kids you can forget just how nice it is to take a few moments and get lost in a whole 'nother world! I'm really enjoying it.
My sister has been looking into weight loss supplements. So much has been said in the past few years about Phentermine. Many people have relied on it for weight loss, and it's one of the best prescription weight loss aids. But there are so many "fakers" out there that it's to be sure what you are getting. I've never been one to take diet pills, I get 'woozy', but it's nice to know there is information out there for people who do want them!
My brother and sister in law are looking into getting a medical bracelet for my niece. She's just little but is violently allergic to several medications. She is such a rough and tumble kid, (has 3 brothers to keep up with)that they are just sure once she starts school in the fall, and they aren't around she'll get herself hurt on the playground. (yes, they wanted a bicycle helmet for her when she started walking) Medical bracelets have come a long way since I was a kid. Now you can find some that really look like jewelry, and I think they will be perfect for a little girl.
I have been looking for hotel deals in downtown Chicago. Our anniversary is coming up soon, and I'm planning a little trip away with "the man"! Not far away mind you, there are four kids to worry about. But a quick trip downtown will be fun and relaxing. When you live in the suburbs you don't get to the city as often as you think you would, and it really is a whole little world all it's own. I would love to stay 2 nights, but I think one will be pushing it!
