My skin is terrible during the winter.  It’s so dry and itchy it drives me crazy!  I use a lot of lotion on most of my body.  But my problem is my face.  It’s very dry with red patchy spots.  But if I use lotion on my face I get pimples.  If I don’t use lotion my face is so dry.  I need to look into the best skin care products and see if I can find a moisturizer that doesn’t make me break out.  I use foundation so I don’t think it’s very noticeable, but it’s still not comfortable.

Last winter my DH took on a major project and renovated our family room.  It wasn’t very attractive looking when we bought the house.  It had dark paneling that looked like it was from the 70s.  It looked dark and just didn’t feel warm and inviting.  So he ripped it all out and put up new sheet rock walls.  He painted them and now it looks fantastic!  While he had the walls ripped out he put the wires for our home speakers behind the walls so you can’t see them.  I love the end product!

Back several years ago before I was a mom, I worked as a teacher.  The first days of school were always pretty crazy and interesting.  I got to meet all sorts of children and their parents.  And often times siblings and grandparents and aunts and uncles.  When someone I didn’t know came to pick up a child I would always verify who that person was.  It always amused me when the person would get upset that I was making sure they were supposed to take a certain child.  I had a lot of kids to keep track of and since no one had to wear name tags I couldn’t always remember every person I had ever met.  You would think people would appreciate that, but strangely many did not.

Did you know that you can reduce your auto insurance by doing a search online for an easy cheap car insurance quote? You can also reduce your rate by driving less, I did. we called our provider and told them that we don’t drive our number 2 that often. They asked how many miles do we drive it a year, and then they slashed our rate. They didn’t even ask to see the car to verify our miles. We’ve been with them for a really long time, and use them for our home insurance and other products, so they trust us. I think if we didn’t use them for other products they would have asked to see the car miles, so be ready to show them. And we really don’t use that car that often, I work from home so it’s driven maybe once a week. What I’m saying here is, don’t settle for what you’re paying now, call your provider or look for another one.

Again, more weight things.

I know that most people out there would like to lose some weight, click here. Considering that more than half of the people in the US are overweight, I know this is of interest to many people. So, what can you do to lose some of those unwanted pounds?

Obviously, you can eat less. Watch how many calories you are eating. And make healthy choices for the calories you are eating. I don’t recommend diet pills, or those ones that some call diet pills. I recommend taking walks and eating less, works for me. If you do take diet pills I recommend that you search around the internet for information to see what will work for you. What I would recommend is stop filling up on chips and cookies when you’re getting ready for bed. However, eating the things you enjoy in moderation usually works the best, just not before bed.

And last exercise, most people love to use the excuse that they just don’t have time to exercise. Funny thing is, you have time to be on the computer, to watch TV, to read a book, etc. Take 20-30 minutes each day and set it aside for exercise, you’ll feel a lot better, try it!

I am looking for some more ideas for more tips and tricks topics. One topic is skincare, anyone have any good ideas? I heard that there was only a few good skin care products worth to trying. I never use skin care products, so I really don’t have much to say about them. If anyone has ever used these products leave me a comment to let me know how it worked for you. I sure would love to share it with others here and my other blogs. I’m also looking for ideas on weight loss, how to lose weight. It seems lately that nothing is really working for me, so any ideas would be welcomed.

Are you running a business?  If you own a business then unfortunately, I’m sure theft is a concern.  It’s too bad that everyone is not honest, but that is just the way the world works.  So in order to keep your business protected you should probably install a few good compact digital cameras to watch over employees.  This should help to deter your customers and employees from trying to steal from you.  Do a good search online to find a large variety of security cameras you can pick from. In addition to the security cameras, make sure you have good people working for you. Having good people working for you will make things run smother, and make you money.

I received a suggestion from one of my blooger friends to start trying weight loss pills to lose weight. Does anyone have a pill that works for them? She told me that by taking supplements weight loss pills it could raise my energy levels, which would increase the weight loss. I guess the idea behind it is that if you have more energy you’ll do more. By increasing energy you’ll feel like taking that walk instead of seating down to watch TV. I’m going to give it a try to see if it works.

I’m also going to contact my doc and see what she would recommend before I start taking supplements and weight loss pills. Mostly because I don’t want to take something that could harm me, and waist my money on something that doesn’t do anything for anyone. I already take my one a day, maybe that’s all I really need, what do you guys think.

I received a new laptop for Christmas last year.  Even though it is a brand new laptop it likes to give me trouble.  Right now, for some unknown reason- I can not install the latest version of Adobe.  Every time I try the install fails.  And another problem- I can suddenly not print from my laptop.  I was able to plug in and print whatever I wanted and then one day it stopped working.  Usually my husband fixes these issues for me, but even he can’t figure out what’s going on. I know it’s not like I have to deal with Mesothelioma or something serious like that, but it’s still pretty annoying. I just hope we can fix it soon before I go nuts.

Are you one of those people that use the internet for everything, I am? I won’t buy a single thing without looking on the internet for coupons first. I even use the internet to locate local restaurants, and what other are saying about them. There are just way to many places online that offers deals. And not just deals online, but printable coupons as well. Sometimes when I use these internet coupons at our local food store they bark at it a little. They like to ask where I got it, mostly because they want to go print them as well.

Here’s a question for – You think you know your area around you? If so try doing a local search and see what’s around you, you’ll be amazed what you don’t know. I once found a place that I had no idea was there. Another thing to do is use your local yellowpages online, you’ll find a ton of information in your area as well.
