Cramming

Lookie,what I did tonight. I CRAMMED my bod into a modest, yet uncomfortably snug bathing suit. Marched myself down (okay, a girlfriend picked me up) to our community center and took a water aerobics class! (I couldn't have done it without you Debbie! I needed you by my side and your accountability to get my bathing suit clad body down there.)
(that's me in the floral number, bottom right)

We had a great time exercising and not sweating a drop! The girls in the Zumba class (inside the air conditioned center) had nothing on us. We were working just as hard...

Oh ladies, what you are missing out on!

Seriously, we were the youngest in the group. But they accepted us with love and made us get right to work! You see the buoy looking thingies up there. Man, do your arms hurt after a couple of reps with those babies ;) And I never knew there were so many exercises you could do with a noodle. I need to get me one and a pool to go with it. heeheehee

If I could do this year round and inexpensively, I would. I even had visions of becoming the Instructor! Wouldn't that be a hoot!

I know I'm using up my quota of !!!!! but it was fun and I can't wait to go back!

P.S. That picture wasn't taken at class tonight and that's not me ;)

Julie,
Good for you. I have unexpectedly started an exercise program: walking the puppy. Which really turns into running for a few city blocks, then walking. What was I thinking getting a puppy? So much energy (him, not me!).

Okay Julie, I am sitting here laughing remembering our nights of watching those ladies take over the whole pool when the kids were taking their lessons!!! And now, you joined them! LOL!

Thanks for the email, I'll be in touch soon. Have a great day! Thanks for bringing back a memory....

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...

Every Last Drop!

So you love Essential Oils and you are using them on all the things; now, what do you do with all the cute little amber bottles? With the Young Living bottles you can an easily peel off the labels and refill with  your own personal blends, pop a spray top on for a spray blend, use as bud vase for a single flower or fill with Thieves Cleaner and gift to a friend who has never heard of the power of Thieves!  When my bottles are almost empty and I cannot get a drop out (even with the reducer cap off), I like to place a bunch up in the bottom of a big jar of Epsom salts. I let them sit for a week or so but there are times when I'll start using the salts right away. I just refill the salts on the top while the bottom of the container marinates. The fragrance is heavenly. You could get really fancy and save all your "fall" scents together, all your citrus scents etc. I am not that organized... I wish I was at times. *One thing I've learned is that it may not be a ...
