The Longest Cold in History
Don’t ask me why, but I first got this cold back in May (just after Mother’s Day) had it for a month and then thought that I was over it. Apparently not, the same cold (exactly the same symptoms) is back again. This is the week two and next Thursday we begin our holidays. So that pretty much explains why I’ve been so quiet lately. Feeling like crap pretty much covers it. Now if I could get a few good night’s sleep, I just might feel a little bit better. But go to bed and the coughing kicks in. Not fun!
*It’s Worse than We Thought
We know from experience, that if we don’t get enough sleep, we don’t function as well as we might. We are sluggish, irritable and that’s just for starters. But did you know that research is now showing that it might be far worse than we ever imagined? Losing sleep should be put right up there with not exercising and poor nutrition. The fact that our immune system is damaged, is one of the more serious results of numerous late nights.
A Diabetic’s Worst Nightmare
Why is it that I can have a good couple of weeks without thinking about sugar once and now, that’s all that’s on my mind. Not a good thing when you are a diabetic. Going to have to concentrate harder I guess! And just this morning I was reading about how Aspartime isn’t good for you afterall. If I don’t have that… life is going to get tough!
*Sunscreen Reminder
Be sure to apply sunscreen to the backs of your hands every day… even as the year progresses. Age spots will never be fashionable.
*Muddy Eyeshadows
If you use a brush to apply your eye shadow, be sure to wash it regularly so that traces of one color does not show up in your
new color. A smudge of brown in your pink shadow can ruin the look you are trying to achieve. I also have two shadow brushes that
I use to help prevent this from happening… one for light shadows and one for darker shadows.
But the key is to wash them regularly.

A Matronly Hairstyle
Nothing can age you faster than a hairstyle that hasn’t any… style. getting a good haircut can not simply take years off your appearance, it can save you hours of primping.
And as we age, we tend to stick with what’s comfortable… bad idea!
An Lazy Afternoon Quote
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read.
Oscar Wilde…
Not quite sure that mine would be all that sensational, but it is a good idea to always carry something interesting to ready. The diary, I’m going to have to work on… or make up a lot of stuff…. lol
*Remember Your Mom’s Words (reminder)
If your Mom was anything like mine, she constantly reminded me about my posture. Sometimes we need someone telling us to stop slouching, so guess who is going to be reminding me. Every once in a while over the next year, I’m going to pop in and remind you. By this time next year, you are going to look like a million dollars. If you don’t believe me, go to a mirror and slouch. Take a good look at yourself. Now suck everything in and stand up tall. See the difference?
*The Fun Bit
When was the last time you made peanut butter cookies. When I was a kid, nothing tasted better than a glass of ice cold milk and two peanut butter cookies. Today, I want you to whip up a batch and while they are still warm… indulge.
