Turning the Tables to Get Your Opinions and Advice

I'm pretty good at giving my opinion.  I do it quite a bit on my blog.  But, sometimes, a girl's gotta get some feedback for herself.  There's a few things that I'd like to get your tips and advice for.  Without further ado....

I can deal with the freckles.  Those come out like mushrooms when it's sunny.  It's the redness and bumps that drive me bat crap crazy.

I got the results of my biopsy back for my face.  Good news: It's not cancer or lupus.  Bad News:  It's a skin condition that I can't spell and it still irritates the hell out of me.  In short, my skin hates my skin and wants to attack it.  I've been prescribed meds and creams.  Up until real recently, I haven't noticed any improvements but I think the Hydrocortisone cream is helping.  

I'm not allergic to anything that I know of and I actually take good care of my face by washing it and removing makeup every day.   Some days are worse than others.  Today I don't feel so hideous.  Two days ago I was crying because I hated the way I look.

My question:  Do you have any tried-and-true creams, moisturizers, washes, or makeup that conceals, cleans, heals?

The inside of a Light Box

The biopsy also showed that the skin condition on my elbows is psoriasis.  My elbows are downright ugly and redder than my face.  To help with the face and elbows, I've started Light Box Therapy.  It's like a stand-up tanning bed (or so I'm told...never personally been tanning) but with special lights that radiate ultra-strong rays.  I have to go to the doctor three times a week and stand in the Box for 45 seconds at a time.  I haven't necessarily seen results yet but I'm going to give it a go for the full five weeks.

My questions:  Have you ever had Light Box Therapy?  Pros and cons?  Was it beneficial?  

Have any tips on how to prevent psoriasis flare-ups?

In other news, Jason and I are signing the closing papers to move in our new house May 28th.  We are on a tight spending budget for the next couple of months because of that.  Our current couch is in pretty good condition but stinks to high heaven from pet odors (two cats and a dog).  We've tried several sprays and deodorizers.  They work short-term but the smell always comes back.

My question:  Do you know of a product or home remedy that will get rid of pet odors from furniture? (Getting rid of my pets is not an option!)

And, last but not least, I've been officially blogging for 10 years!  I've come a long way since back in the day.  (and still have a lot to learn)  I absolutely appreciate each and every one who has been a part of my blog following.  I love the comments and interactions.

My questions:  Do you think blogging is becoming a dying art?  

What keeps you coming to my blog?  Is there something you'd change?

Thanks for helping a girl out!

What to Wear for Graduation This Spring According to SwampButt Underwear

Photo by Good Free Photos on Unsplash

Graduation season stretches from mid-May through June and will test the patience, mettle and deodorant of graduates, faculty, staff and spectators. Most graduates will wear the traditional cap and gown for the ceremony. But what about underneath? Is it possible to look reasonably well dressed after spending hours below a black polyester heat trap named ‘graduation robe’? The makers of SwampButt Underwear believe that it is, even after wearing the most poorly planned garment since the fig leaf. No surprise they recommend SwampButt Underwear for graduates and those in attendance.

No One Will See Underneath, Right?

Do not think that wearing a robe means it does not matter what is worn underneath. Throughout the day graduates will take photos with friends, family members, and classmates.  There are parties to attend with friends before and after the ritual. For those without any friends, maybe going out with family?  Regardless, it’s going to get hot and the urge to doff the giant black pole-less tent of a sauna named ‘robe’ will be too hard to resist. So, plan for the robe-less part of graduation day. Wear SwampButt Underwear Made in the USA style sweat wicking underwear to prevent sticking to chairs, bleachers, benches, stools, vinyl restaurant booths, car seats or any other surface where new grads may park their collective rear ends.

The Garment of Choice for European Monks

The graduation gown evolved (probably) from the monks who wore heavy head to toe gowns and hoods to keep out the cold of northern Europe.  These are completely unsuitable for American outdoor ceremonies in early summer or late spring. Think there is nothing hotter or more uncomfortable? Keep reading.

What If It Rains?

Graduation ceremonies occur outdoors at stadiums to accommodate larger crowds of well-wishers and loved ones. But if it rains, graduates’ and ‘immediate family only’ are relegated to the gym or some other exhibition building. Some are air conditioned, but most are not. “Most of these gyms are too big to cool. Not because it isn’t needed but because it’s too expensive,” said SwampButt Underwear spokesperson and frequent guest for lunch Nick Heraldson. “So, people who really love you will sit and suffer in a gym built right after World War 2 with high windows and those chains that open them that no one knows how to work. The higher up in the gym the worse it is.”  All the while, student/graduates swelter away. Students will sit on the floor of the gym in a metal folding chair, fanning themselves with the program while the dean/principal/student body president/local politician/hired outside speaker drones on about how ‘you are our future’ over a ‘hot’ mike that is too garbled for anyone to understand. “At this point, you will be so uncomfortable you will stop trying to listen,” Heraldson predicted.

Stuck to a Metal Chair

Those wearing traditional cotton underwear will sit and sweat and stink during the ceremonial rite of passage. But those who plan ahead, and wear SwampButt Underwear will be cooler and less likely to stick to their chair when they stand up. “There is no coming back from standing at graduation with the chair sticking to your soggy bottom,” Heraldson said sternly. “Your fellow classmates will remember it forever and remind you of it at every opportunity.”

Wordful Wednesday - Mother/Son Day Trip

Because my kids are older, I don't get a whole lot of quality time with them.  But the stars aligned and Logan and I were able to take a day trip to St. Louis on Monday.  We spent several hours at the St. Louis Zoo, then dined at Olive Garden.

Just like most every other zoo visitor, I took an umpteen amount of pics of the animals.  I'll post them on a different Wordful Wednesday.  

The weather was perfect and I enjoyed spending the day with Logan.

It was oh-so-amazing!

Are you lucky enough to have an Olive Garden where you live?  I'm not, so I take the chance when I can.

Sparks in Love: A Survivor's Story - Book Review and Giveaway

Paperback: 190 pages
Publisher: Bright Light Books (October 5, 2018)

Book Overview:

One in four: the number of women who will experience domestic abuse or violence.Three per day: the number of women killed in domestic disputes.Ten million: the number of children exposed to domestic violence each year.AND THEY ARE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS EVERYWHERE, IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE.Imagine an attractive, high-powered, female executive who realizes that her twenty-year relationship has turned her into a victim of domestic abuse. Imagine there are children to consider. And imagine the emotional abuse she has endured, abuse that has escalated as she questions her own culpability in allowing it, becomes physical and potentially fatal.Every year, domestic abuse – whether physical, financial, or emotional – affects one in four women in the country. That’s more than are affected by breast, ovarian, and lung cancers combined.

Susan Sparks wants to change this.SPARKS IN LOVE is a survivor’s story. Giving you a look from the inside, it shows what happens when you fall in love with the wrong person and ignore the warning signs. Highlighting the signs of domestic abuse with stories from her own life, Sparks takes the reader on a journey designed to expose both the subtle and overt aspects of abuse.A cautionary tale to those entering relationships, as well as reassurance to those still enmeshed in abuse, the message is clear: there are safe ways out and life after abuse. Each victim has the right to become a SODA™: a Survivor of Domestic Abuse.Eminently readable, poignant and informative, compelling and horrifying, SPARKS IN LOVE is an inspirational telling of one woman’s story that becomes every woman’s story for the one in four women who become victims of domestic abuse.

My Review:

If you aren't a person who's personally been affected by domestic abuse, chances are you know someone who has been in that situation.  I have never been physically abused but my ex-husband verbally and emotionally tore me down all the time.  It took a few years to recover.

Sparks in Love: A Survivor's Story is a memoir written by Susan Sparks.  In this book, she documents the abuse she withstood at the hands of her husband.  She gives a real and raw account of why she stayed as long as she did and how she's recovered since hitting rock bottom.

There are fifteen warning signs of domestic abuse according to The National Domestic Violence Hotline.  Susan talks about the warning signs that were there during her abuse and the actions that caused the behavior.

I appreciate that Susan has written a book that reflects her personal story.  It's relatable and will hopefully spark conversation or action with someone in the same type of situation.  The only part of the book that I didn't care for was the number of times the author pointed out it was her story and she felt compelled to share it.  I'm glad she did, but reading about it several times created redundancy.
Susan is truly a survivor. and is using her circumstances to empower and educate. 

Win It!

One person will win a paperback book copy of Sparks in Love: A Survivor's Story.

Find Balance and Well-Being with Comfort! - Guest Post

May 22 is World Biodiversity Day, a United Nations established day to bring to light many of the environmental issues facing our planet. When discussing how the environment plays a role in our daily lives, the conversation tends to focus on topics like weather, air quality, agriculture and other factors affecting our well-being.

However, it’s rarely brought up how the earth is a rich resource of natural ingredients, that when combined, can benefit our bodies in amazing ways.  Brazos Minshew is an acclaimed Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. In in clinical practice for more than 35 years, Minshew ranks among the most respected product developers in the burgeoning field of nutraceuticals. His cutting-edge work in bioscience has led to the creation of life-enhancing therapies and helped expand the knowledge and understanding of how natural ingredients can replace artificial medication.

Comfort! and Comfort! Extra Strength represent his crowning achievement. Comfort! is a revolutionary, next-generation daily supplement that delivers a centuries-old treatment for occasional pain – plants. Comfort! uses only ingredients found in nature, ingredients that have been safely and effectively used in cultures like China and with Native Americans for thousands of years.  Minshew has harnessed the power of nature and cannabis to create a product that can transform lives, as Comfort! is shown to impart a sense of balance, harmony, and well-being.

Minshew has dedicated his career to studying traditional medicine and how plants play a role in our health. For thousands of years plants have been used in medicine to reduce occasional pain – for example, Aspirin is derived from White Willow Bark, and morphine is derived from plants in the poppy species. Of course, these modern medications are now imbued with many artificial refinements and resemble little their original forms.

Minshew successfully combined five phytocannabinoids to create Comfort!, including:

Turmeric phytocannabinoids support a healthy inflammatory response without the side effects. Curcumin from turmeric is so powerful that it matches the effectiveness of some drugs.

Ginger phytocannabinoids have been shown to support a healthy inflammatory response similar to COX-2 inhibitors and also balances leukotrienes (inflammatory molecules) and switches off certain inflammatory genes.

Galanga alpinia phytocannabinoids inhibit pain and inflammation from multiple pathways, including histamine-induced, serotonin-induced and bradykinin-induced inflammatory models. And, the pain relief was stronger day by day.

Frankincense phytocannabinoids strongly inhibit pain that arises from the nervous system itself (neuropathic pain), as well as pain caused by inflammation. This is important because, over time, the brain pathways related to chronic pain tend to experience pain even when nothing is really wrong.

Red Pepper phytocannabinoids and terpenes harmonize and amplify the cannabinoids of other plants. Further, pain and inflammation is worsened by obesity and obesity, in turn, may produce inflammation. Red Pepper reduces the inflammation that is directly associated with obesity5.

Minshew has further demonstrated how plants still have tremendous power in their natural states. He has used his extensive knowledge to create a new health supplement designed to address occasional pain. Comfort! is a breakthrough nutraceutical combining traditional herbal remedies to safely and effectively remedy daily discomfort associated with body aches, muscle strain, arthritis and other sources of occasional pain.

Comfort! combines five natural ingredients into a breakthrough formula rivaling even the strongest over-the-counter medications.

Turmeric, Indian frankincense, ginger, galangal plant root, and cayenne pepper are all it takes to inhibit pain where it starts. Incredibly safe and effective, Comfort! works within minutes and for many people, one dosage is enough to last the entire day.

Pain is a debilitating symptom that affects every aspect of our lives, yet an over-reliance on artificially derived medications can lead to a variety of harmful long-term consequences. Comfort! is designed to be a daily part of our diet (and indeed, its core ingredients are commonly found in our kitchen!). Dr. Minshew’s deep experience is a testament to the powerful relationship we have to our planet and its infinite diversity of resources.

Wordful Wednesday - Canvas Painting Party

Put an apron on me and call me Picasso

Y'all, I attended my first group canvas painting party on Sunday and had a great time!  I have very limited artistic ability so I wasn't sure how amateur my painting would look but figured it'd give it the ole' college try.

One of my friends invited me to the private event put on by her in honor of April birthdays.  My birthday isn't in April but I'm down for celebrating.  A local business brought all the supplies and gave a lesson on how to paint a dogwood tree in moonlight.

group photo

The fee for participation was $35.  I'm not going to enter any art competitions but I don't think I did too bad for a person who can hardly draw a stick figure.  I'd totally do it again!

My finished art project

My tree had the fattest branches of them all.

 

friend, Terri, with her art print

On another crafty note, my husband came home yesterday with this finished wooden cross piece.  I had shown him a picture some time ago of a friend who owns one.  Knowing I liked it, Jason took it upon himself to make one and surprise me.  He's a swell guy!

What creative abilities do you have?

Have you ever taken part in a canvas painting party?

UglyChristmasSweater.com Lounge Pants - Review and Giveaway

Before you think I done went off the deep end, I'm well aware that it's not the Christmas season.  I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I have no qualms with wearing Christmas pajamas or undergarments at any time of the year.  In fact, right now, I'm wearing holiday socks.  

UglyChristmasSweater.com is my kind of  online store.  They carry ugly Christmas sweaters, of course, but they also sell jackets, jumpsuits, plush toys, lounge pants, and more.  

Here's another secret about me:  I'm not a huge fangirl of the Star Wars franchise.  I like the movies all right but would make a horrible Star Wars trivia partner.  But, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate some of the characters and cool merchandise.  That's one of the reasons I chose the Star Wars Yoda Logo Christmas Lounge Pants from UglyChristmasSweater.com.  I like the overall design and Yoda is the coolest character from the franchise.  (He needs his own spinoff.)

The lounge pants feature all-around designs of Yoda and other Star Wars symbols.  They're super comfy and breathable.  My pants are in size XL and they're true to size.  A drawstring closure ties at the waist.

A Christmas Story Major Award with Leg Lamp Red Lounge Pants

Here's another secret (I'm full of them today):  If I'm at home, there's a very good chance you'll find me wearing lounge pants.  I put them on as soon as I get off work, sleep in them, and will wear them until it's time to go to work again.  I'll throw on jeans or slacks if I go somewhere, but lounge pants are usually what I wear around the house.  And, believe me, the Star Wars Yoda lounge pants have been getting their fair share of usage.  Every day can be Christmas day!
