Just in case you are superstitious, it might not be a good idea to look out your windown before you hit the sheets. It’s bad luck apparently if you should happen to see a white cat. I don’t know about you, but I not about to tempt fate tonight.

*Contaminating Perfume Bottles

 

If you fragrance comes in a bottle without a spray attachment, grab a cotton ball fast. You don’t want to get your fingers anywhere near the opening of the bottle. The oils from your fingers could mix with the fragrance and ruin the scent. Using a cotton ball will prevent this from happening.

Getting My Head Around This Concept

I am constantly reading that our life is in our own hands and that you can consciously begin to change ANYTHING by simply changing your thoughts. So, I suppose that means that if life kind of sucks right now, we pretty much made it happen by thinking those kinds of thoughts. I would say… I don’t believe that for a second, BUT, I’m reading those words EVERYWHERE! Going to have to give this some more thought. Must be something to it, just can’t get my head around it yet.

Do You Have a Spiral Staircase??

Don’t choose a home with a spiral staircase in the centre of the house. We did just that and have had nothing but bad luck with the house. It’s a Feng Shui thing from what I’ve been reading. Didn’t quite understand it but it said something to the effect of boring through the heart of the home.

 

And it doesn’t help when you are trying to sell your house either!

Peculiar People

Apparently, it’s peculiar people day. I have no idea how you celebrate such a day, but if you give it some thought, I’m sure that something will come to you. My sister had a real knack for coming up with ideas. She originated the Mad Cup… which made her husband very nervous if he found it placed at his spot at the table.  She also celebrated her son’s birthday (he was born in January)  in June. Since it was six months past his birthday, she did everything in halves. The kids were served half a hot dog (to start) half a glass of soda, and half a birthday cake. There were other things that she came up with, but those were the first to come to mind.

Anyway, back to the peculiar people… you just might be one yourself. What would other people say were your oddest traits??

Softer Lips This Winter

Heat, as well as, cold can contribute to dry lips.
*Another cause of dry lips is aging. The older you get, the more prone they are to chapping.
*Avoid licking your lips which is easier said than done, I know, but read on
*Another bad habit that you can fall into is biting off bits of dead skin.
*Chewing on your lips is more popular than you might think. And for women who wear lipstick, here is a bit of trivia that I dug up for you. Did you know that women who are habitual lip chewers eat four to nine pounds of lipstick during their life?
