Okay, I am putting myself on a diet.  Ok, not quite a diet.  It is a new product called Sensa.  I’ll be honest — I’d love to lose about a hundred pounds.  However, at this point, I would like any sort of weight loss.  My goal is to do an update post each week.  If I don’t, somebody clock me upside my head and remind me.  Sensa is a product that allows you to eat whatever you want.  However, it helps with your portion control.  All you do is shake a some of the Sensa on your food everytime you eat, and it does it’s magic.

I weighed myself this morning, so I know my starting weight (no, I am not listing it here) and I took some pictures (well, my mom was here and took them):

So I guess we can call these the “before” pictures.  I’ve watched the DVD that came with the Sensa, and it said that some women don’t see a change until 3 months into this.  I hope that isn’t me.  I am all for instant results.  The first thing I have noticed is that the Sensa makes my food taste better.  Now, I plan on mostly keeping to my normal lifestyle, and we will see if this works for me.  If you’d like to join me on this journey, use ROCKETXL to get 15% off your order (no minimum order either) and you’ll get free shipping too.

This video angers me. If you know somebody with autism, it will anger you too!

I cannot believe that he equates loudmouth kids to those who have autism. My cousin is a special education teacher too. They don’t give the answers to anybody. Obviously, he has never dealt with children with disabilities before be it a learning disorder or autism. Heaven forbid, they need an extra hand. I guess if you’re not normal according to what the textbooks say, society should just throw you away or you’re destined for only getting an education online so no one has to deal with you.

I understand that the prevalence of these disorders are going up. Could it be that we have better intervention techniques now so that we can catch these kids early and get them the help they need?

Let me know your thoughts on this!

Chicago living is hard on your skin. This is especially so in the spring where one day it is sixty degrees and the next it is thirty and snowing and then the next day is below zero. I know one of the hardest hit parts of the body is my lips. I am really picky when it comes to those. I cannot stand chapped lips at all. The only time I chew on my lips is when they are chapped and that just makes it worse! I can’t help myself though. That being said, there are lip treatments out there that will save your lips from this. Borba’s products not only help your lips, but they look great too. Their motto is “all about achieving total beauty… inside-out.”

Now, if you are like me, you like to see a good deal or if I purchase a lot, I get something. Well, they have a great deal too! If you spend over $100, you get Lip Tint (Soft Kiss) and 4 Aqualess Crystalline free! I love free stuff (even if I have to buy something to get it)! That is their April special, so you have a limited time to take advantage of this.

Having been to Sedona now, I have a whole new understanding regarding The Sedona Method. While there, we learned about saving the earth and how we (society) needs to learn how to get along. We need to learn how to be happy. We need to let go of our anger and unhappiness and live in the moment. The author who wrote The Sedona Method found a book by Eckhart Tolle that mirrors what she was trying to get across. The new book is called A New Earth. This book is about learning your true purpose in life. It something we can all use. I know I sometime struggle with the question of why I am here and what I should be doing with my life. If this all sounds really interesting to you, there are several ways you can find out more information. The first is free. You can get a Free DVD and CD to explore The Sedona Method further to see if it is right for you. If you like what you see, you can then sign up for the four courses in the Sedona Method (The Sedona Method, Effortless Wealth & Success, Effortless Relationships, and Effortless Health & Well Being). These course also come with a 180 day money back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose!

I was given this really cool snoring ring to try out. Actually, this ring is suppose to make me quit snoring in an all natural way. I put the ring on 30 minutes before I go to bed. Bill hasn’t complained about my snoring since I have been wearing it (and I haven’t woke up with any sore throats which usually happens after I have been snoring all night). Here’s what it looks like:

You wear it on your pinky finger.  It actually looks like any other ring you may have.   The part that impressed me most about this ring is that it is adjustable.  I have tiny fingers.  My ring finger is a 4, so I am thinking my pinky finger probably is a size 3.  I was able to adjust this ring, so that it actually fit my finger!  I personally like quick and easy fixes like this that don’t involve much work or things to remember from me.  What could be easier than putting a ring on before you go to sleep?
