Out of the mouths of babes.

I have to share with you a conversation I had with my grandson on the phone the other day. He is 5 soon to be 6 in December. Now he has been an only child for 5 years and seems to like it or at least has gotten used to it. His parents, my older son and daughter in law are expecting in November, the 28th to be exact. At first my grandson was very happy about having a baby until he found out it was a girl, then all bets were off. lol This past summer they kept my daughter's little girl while she went though cancer treatment and he really loved having her there. So his attitude came as a surprise to us. Anyhow I was talking to him on the phone and asked him if he was excited about the baby and he had a very distinctive NO. I asked him why he changed his mind he he said "because it's a stoopid girl baby" I spell stupid like that because he drags it out like that. So I said "awe aren't you happy about having a little sister?" He said "NO I'm gonna break off her arm and throw her in the dumpster" So I told him that I loved having a big brother and he'll be that big brother to his sister and he said, "that stoopid girl baby isn't touching or playing with any of my toys." Now between me laughing so hard because deep down inside I know he doesn't mean it, and him saying "Grandma are you crying about the stoopid girl baby too?" I said no grandma is excited about the girl baby, a pretty little sister for you and grandma can buy her pretty dresses to wear, and I'll buy you something too of course." He said "I'll take those stoopid dresses and throw them in the stoopid dumpster with that stoopid girl baby." The conversation was actually very funny.

Then we got to talking about what he would name her if he let her come home and he said "poophead dragon" I think this is where I spit soda on my screen as I was sitting by my computer. So I said to him "don't you want to give her a pretty little girls name?" He said "nope she's a stoopid girl and she can lay in the dumpster and her name is poophead dragon." Needless to say I tried to change the subject after that. So we talked about school, but he doesn't like that because he's bored............Out of the mouths of babes.

Life Style Changes

Recently I decided to do a review that goes hand in hand with what I found out from my doctor last week. He told me I am diabetic. Now if any of you really read my blog, you will know I am a BIG snacker. So when the doctor told me this news and he told me that it would be life altering, I think it hit me worse that when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Because deep down inside I knew I would beat the cancer, whereas Diabetes sticks with me for life. It's depressing. I have felt all kinds of emotions, scared, angry, sad and much more. Well this is kind of where my next review comes in. Have you ever heard of Habitwise? From the website: Habitwise products are designed to help you make better decisions while you develop healthy habits. Habitwise however is not a substitute for medical advice. So Habitwise sent me getLoss for women. This includes: Bracelets. They have warm and cool colors, I chose the warm colors. They also have getLoss for men, getTracking for kids, getWet for both men and women.

2-yellow bracelets (stands for oil choices)
3-white bracelets (stands for milk choices)
3-purple bracelets (stands for meat choices)
6-green bracelets(stands for vegetable choices)
3-pink bracelets(stands for fruit choices)
5-gold bracelets(stands for grain choices)
8-blue bracelets (stands for water choices)






There are 2 scenarios to use the getLoss which are: Following food Groups, or Counting Calories. I chose Counting Calories. I started by visiting MyPyramind.gov. According to them because of my weight and height I need to be on an 1,800 cal daily diet, which I brought down to 1,500 calories.

I'm Cuckoo for Coconut-Tropical Traditions Coconut that is

Awhile ago I did a review about Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions. Well they allowed me to do another review about their wonderful Coconut Chips. I received a gallon jug of Coconut Chips. 100% natural Coconut chips are made from organic dried coconuts from the Philippines. They are also grown without pesticides and fertilizers and are not sweetened, and contain no additives or preservatives. You can use them for many things, there are many recipes they can be used in. There is also a page with coconut recipes.

http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com/

I used them in Trail mix which consisted of:
chex
raisins
pecans
granola
sunflower seeds
pretzels

I also used them in dried fruit which consisted of:
dried banana chips
dried apricots
dried cranberries
dried papaya
dried chunks of pineapple
I actually make two different bowls because I don't really like apricots. We put them on top of cereal, I made a coconut cake and sprinkled the top with them.
But the most interesting thing we do with the coconut chips is throw them in the coffee grinder with chocolate coffee beans and grind it all together and make coffee that tastes like a Mounds Bar. Delicious. It also says you can eat them alone as a snack, but I wasn't real thrilled by that. I preferred mine with something else. But that is my taste.

They also have cleaning products, skin care products, and pet products.

Tropical Traditions is giving away a Gallon of Coconut Chips to one of lucky readers. All you have to do is visit Tropical Traditions and choose a product you would like to try and return and post here on my blog. (THIS IS MANDATORY)

Chic Moderne Review and Giveaway

About a month ago I was looking around on the Blog Friendly PR and came across this website Chic Moderne.
So I went to the website to look around and decided I would contact them to see if the were interested in a Review and Giveaway. I emailed Patti and she very kindly answered my email and agreed to a Review and Giveaway. She sent me one of their Hand-Milled French soaps. I received the Lemongrass. Now I'm not usually a big fan of fruity scents. I use like Cucumber Melon soap, which does have some fruit but also the Cucumber to cut down on the fruity smell.

I received the box in the mail and didn't smell any strong fruity smell through the box. I opened the box and took the round shaped bar of soap out and all I could smell was a light lemony scent. Nothing too strong. I was happy. I showered with it the following day and lathered up with it and all I could smell was a very light lemony smell. I liked it. These soaps are handcrafted in Province, and triple milled with shea butter.

Chic Moderne not only sells soaps they sell Briefcases, Handbags, Portfolios, Notebooks, Small Accessories, and even All Natural Austrian Candles.








Chic Moderne is offering a giveaway of one of their Hand-Milled French Soaps to one of my readers. Here are the scents she has: Verbena, Honey, Almond, and French Cologne. It will be your choice.
All you have to do is visit the Chic Moderne Website and choose a product you would like to try then return to my blog and post it there. (You must do this or you will be disqualified).

Dolce & Gabana Light Blue

When I think of Dolce & Gabana I think of class, and when I think Of Dolce & Gabana Light Blue I think of not only class but also beauty . I LOVE this scent, it makes you feel beautiful and sexy. You have to try it. It's not too strong, not too light, it's just perfect. I only wear a few perfumes. I wear Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise, Marc Jacobs Daisy, and now this Dolce & Gabana Light Blue. It's my new favorite. I was lucky enough to try the D & G Light Blue because the great people at FragranceNet.com allowed me to review it. They sent me a 3.4 oz bottle of the EDT Spray. It's a mixture of rose, musk, apple, and jasmine. When you put them all together you get comfort in a bottle. It has a such a calming effect and makes you feel sexy. I sometimes have trouble smelling scents on me after a few hours but not this, it lasted I would say about 5 or 6 hours. I got many compliments when I wore it, and there is some satisfaction when I can tell someone I am wearing Dolce & Gabana. You feel classy.
